1.4 Get to know XRT-D
Back Panel
The diagram (fig1.0/1.1) below shows XRT-401D/402D’s back panel. The router’s back panel is
divided into three sections, LAN, WAN and Reset:
Figure 1.0 XRT-401D
Figure 1.1 XRT-402D
1) Local Area Network (LAN)
XRT-D’s LAN ports are where you connect your LAN’s PCs, printer servers, hubs and switches
etc.
2) Wide Area Network (WAN)
The WAN ports are the segment connected to your xDSL or Cable modem and are linked to the
Internet.
3) Reset
The Reset button allows you to do one of two things.
1) If problems occur with your router, press the router’s reset button with a pencil tip (for
less than 4 seconds) and the router will re-boot itself, keeping your original
configurations.
2) If problems persist or you experience extreme problems or you forgot your password,
press the reset button for longer than 4 seconds and the router will reset itself to the
factory default settings (warning: your original configurations will be replaced with
the factory default settings)
Front Panel
On XRT-D’s front panel there are LED lights that inform you of machine current status. Below is
an explanation of each LED and its description.

1.6 Getting started
This is a step-by-step instruction on how to start using the router and get connected to the
Internet.
1) Setup your network as shown in the setup diagram above (fig 1.2).
2) You then need to set your LAN PC clients so that it can obtain an IP address automatically.
All LAN clients require an IP address. Just like an address, it allows LAN clients to find one
another.
Configure your PC to obtain an IP address automatically
By default XRT-D’s DHCP is on, this means that you can obtain an IP address automatically
once you’ve configured your PC to obtain an IP address automatically. This section will show
you how to configure your PC so that it can obtain an IP address automatically for either
Windows 95/98/Me, 2000 or NT operating systems.
For other operating systems (Macintosh, Sun, etc.), please follow the manufacturer’s
instructions. The following is a step-by-step illustration on how to configure your PC to obtain
an IP address automatically for 2a) Windows 95/98/Me, 2b) Windows XP, 2c) Windows
2000 and 2d) Windows NT.
2a) Windows 95/98/Me
