FEDERAL COMMUNICATION COMMISSION INTERFERENCE STATEMENT

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

◆ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna

◆ Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver

◆ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to

which the receiver is connected

◆ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.

DESCRIPTION OF HARDWARE

LED Indicators

This ADSL Gateway Router is a high bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) modem that can connect to an ADSL Internet service provider.

This unit provides the following ports on the rear panel:

◆ One RJ-11 port for connection to your ADSL service provider’s incoming

line.

◆ One RJ-45 port for connection to a PC, or to a 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet

Local Area Network switch. This port operates at 10/100 Mbps, half/full duplex. It supports automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use straight-through cables for all network connections. (See “10/

100BASE-TX Pin Assignments” on page 119.)

◆ One USB port for connection to a PC (if an RJ-45 Ethernet port is not

available).

| Introduction

Description of Hardware

POWER CONNECTOR The ADSL Gateway Router must be powered with its supplied power

adapter. Failure to do so results in voiding of any warrantly supplied with the product. The power adapter automatically adjusts to any voltage between 100~240 volts at 50 or 60 Hz, and supplies 12 volts DC power to the unit. No voltage range settings are required.

POWER BUTTON The ADSL Gateway Router has a power button. When the AC power

adapter is attached and connected to a power source, the power button must be depressed to power on the unit.

RESET BUTTON This button is used to restore the factory default configuration. If you press

and hold down the button for 3 seconds or more, any configuration changes you may have made are removed, and the factory default configuration is restored to the unit.

◆ The router should be located in a cool dry place, with at least

5 cm (2 in.) of space on all sides for ventilation.

◆ Place the router out of direct sunlight, and away from heat sources or

areas with a high amount of electromagnetic interference. The temperature and humidity should be within the ranges listed in the specifications.

The ADSL Gateway Router needs to be connected to the DSL telephone line from the service provider, and to a computer or LAN switch.

Figure 3: Connecting the Router

To install the router, follow these steps:

1. Using standard telephone cable, connect the Line port on the included

ADSL splitter to the RJ-11 telephone wall jack providing the ADSL service.

2. Using standard telephone cable, connect the Modem port on the

included ADSL splitter to the RJ-11 Line port on the ADSL Gateway Router.

3. The Phone port on the ADSL splitter can be connected to a standard

telephone set using telephone cable.

router’s USB port directly to the PC. Then install the USB driver that is on the included CD.

POWERING ON

Plug the power adapter cord into the DC 12V power socket on the router, and then plug the power adapter directly into a power outlet. Check the LED marked Power on the top of the unit to be sure it is on. If the Power indicator does not light up, refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 112.

If the router is properly configured, it will take about 30 seconds to establish a connection with the ADSL service provider after powering up. During this time the Link indicator will blink during synchronization. After the ADSL connection has been established, the Link indicator will stay on.

CONFIGURING THE TCP/IP PROTOCOLS

To connect the router to a computer through its Ethernet port, the computer must have an Ethernet network adapter card installed, and be configured for the TCP/IP protocol. Your service provider will configure TCP/IP for client computers automatically using a networking technology known as Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).

Carry out the following steps to check that the computer’s Ethernet port is correctly configured for DHCP.

3 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

USING THE WEB INTERFACE

The router provides a web-based management interface for configuring device features and viewing statistics to monitor network activity. This interface can be accessed by any computer on the network using a standard web browser (such as Internet Explorer 5.0, Netscape 6.2, Mozilla Firefox 2.0, or above).

To make an initial connection to the management interface, connect a PC to one of the router’s LAN ports. Set your PC with a static address within the same subnet as that used by the router (that is, 192.168.2.x with the subnet mask 255.255.255.0).

To access the configuration menu, follow these steps:

1. Use your web browser to connect to the management interface using

the default IP address of 192.168.2.1.

Figure 4: Web Login

2. Log in to the router’s management interface using this account:

User name: admin Password: smcadmin
