3 Getting Started
This chapter provides basic instructions for connecting the CPE to a computer or a LAN and to the Internet
via ADSL.
Part 1 provides instructions to set up the hardware.
Part 2 describes how to configure Internet properties on your computer(s).
Part 3 shows you how to access your CPE.
It is assumed that you have already subscribed to ADSL service with your telephone company or other
Internet service provider (ISP). These instructions provide a basic configuration that should be compatible
with your home or small office network setup. Refer to the subsequent chapters for additional configuration
instructions.
3.1 Connecting the Hardware
In 3.1, you should connect the device to an ADSL line, the power outlet, and your computer or network.
Before you begin, turn the power off for all devices. These
include your computer(s), your LAN hub/switch (if applicable),
and the CPE.
WARNING
Figure 3.1 illustrates the hardware connections. Please follow the steps that follow for specific instructions.
3.1.1 Connect the ADSL line
Connect your ADSL line to the port labeled LINE on the rear panel of the device, and connect the other
end of the line to the wall phone jack directly or to an optional POTS splitter. If you use a POTS splitter to
connect a telephone to the same wall jack as the CPE, follow the instructions that came with the splitter.
3.1.2 Connect the computers or a LAN
You can use the included Ethernet cable to connect your computer directly to the CPE. Attach one end of
the Ethernet cable to the port labeled LAN on the rear panel of the device and connect the other end to the
Ethernet port of your computer.
If your LAN has more than one computer, you can attach one end of an Ethernet cable to a hub or a switch
and the other to the port labeled LAN on the CPE.
Note that either a crossover or a straight-through Ethernet cable can be used. The CPE determines and
adjusts to the type of signal required.
3.1.3 Attach the power adapter
The supplied power adapter may look different than the one illustrated here.
Connect the cylindrical power plug into the POWER connector on the back of the device.
• If you have a wall-mount adapter, plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet or a power strip.
• If you have a table-top adapter, use the AC power cord to connect the adapter to a wall outlet or
power strip.
3.1.4 Turn on your computer
Turn on and boot up your computer and any other LAN devices, such as hubs or switches.

6.7 DNS
Domain Name System (DNS) servers map the user-friendly domain names that users type into their Web
browsers (such as "yahoo.com") to the equivalent numerical IP addresses that are used for Internet
routing.
When a user types a domain name into a browser, the browser sends a request to a DNS server to obtain
the equivalent IP address. The DNS server looks up the domain name in its own database, and
communicates with higher-level DNS servers when the name cannot be found locally. When the address
is found, it is sent back to the requesting PC and is referenced in IP packets for the remainder of the
communication.
If Enable Automatic Assigned DNS checkbox is selected, this router will accept the first received DNS
assignment from one of the PPPoA, PPPoE or MER/DHCP enabled PVC(s) during the connection
establishment. If the checkbox is not selected, enter the primary and optional secondary DNS server
IP addresses. Click
NOTE: If changing from unselected Automatic Assigned DNS to selected Automatic Assigned DNS,
You must reboot the router to get the automatic assigned DNS addresses
to save your changes.
