TD-W8901N 150Mbps Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem Router User Guide

Chapter 1.Introduction

Thank you for choosing the TD-W8901N 150Mbps Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem Router.

1.1Product Overview

The device is designed to provide a simple and cost-effective ADSL Internet connection for a private Ethernet or IEEE 802.11n/ IEEE 802.11g/ IEEE 802.11b wireless network.

The TD-W8901N connects to an Ethernet LAN or computers via standard Ethernet ports. The ADSL connection is made using ordinary telephone line with standard connectors. Multiple workstations can be networked and connected to the Internet using a single Wide Area Network (WAN) interface and single global IP address. The advanced security enhancements, IP/MAC Filter, Application Filter and URL Filter can help to protect your network from potentially devastating intrusions by malicious agents from the outside of your network.

Quick Start of the Web-based Utility is supplied and friendly help messages are provided for the configuration. Network and Router management is done through the Web-based Utility which can be accessed through local Ethernet using any web browser.

The TD-W8901N supports full-rate ADSL2+ connectivity conforming to the ITU and ANSI specifications. In addition to the basic DMT physical layer functions, the ADSL2+ PHY supports dual latency ADSL2+ framing (fast and interleaved) and the I.432 ATM Physical Layer.

In the most attentive wireless security, the modem router provides multiple protection measures. It can be set to turn off the wireless network name (SSID) broadcast so that only stations that have the SSID can be connected. The modem router provides wireless LAN 64/128-bit WEP encryption security, WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK authentication, as well as TKIP/AES encryption security.

Place the modem router in a location where it can be connected to the various devices as well as to a power source.

Make sure the cables and power cord are safely placed out of the way so they do not create a tripping hazard.

The modem router can be placed on a shelf or desktop.

Keep away from the strong electromagnetic radiation and the device of electromagnetic sensitive.

Generally, TD-W8901N is placed on a horizontal surface. The device also can be mounted on the wall as shown in Figure 2-3.

Figure 2-3 Wall-mount Install

Note:

The diameter of the screw, 3.5mm<D<8mm, and the distance of two screws is 118mm. The screw that project from the wall need around 4mm based, and the length of the screw need to be at least 20mm to withstand the weight of the product.

2.4Connecting the Modem Router

Before installing the device, please make sure your broadband service provided by your ISP is available. If there is any problem, please contact your ISP. Before cable connection, cut off the power supply and keep your hands dry. You can follow the steps below to install it.

Step 1: Connect the ADSL Line.

6

TD-W8901N 150Mbps Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem Router User Guide

Method one: Plug one end of the twisted-pair ADSL cable into the ADSL port on the rear panel of TD-W8901N, and insert the other end into the wall socket.

Method two You can use a separate splitter. External splitter can divide the data and voice, and then you can access the Internet and make calls at the same time. The external splitter has three ports:

LINE: Connect to the wall jack

PHONE: Connect to the phone sets

MODEM: Connect to the ADSL port of TD-W8901N

Plug one end of the twisted-pair ADSL cable into the ADSL port on the rear panel of TD-W8901N. Connect the other end to the MODEM port of the external splitter.

Step 2: Connect the Ethernet cable. Attach one end of a network cable to your computer’s Ethernet port or a regular hub/switch port, and the other end to the LAN port on the TD-W8901N.

Step 3: Power on the computers and LAN devices.

Step 4: Attach the power adapter. Connect the power adapter to the power connector on the rear of the device and plug in the adapter to an electrical outlet or power extension. The electrical outlet shall be installed near the device and shall be easily accessible.

Chapter 3.Quick Installation Guide

3.1 TCP/IP Configuration

The default IP address of the TD-W8901N 150Mbps Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem Router is 192.168.1.1. And the default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. These values can be changed as you desire. In this guide, we use all the default values for description.

Connect the local PC to the LAN port of the Modem Router. And then you can configure your PC to an obtain IP address in the following way:

1)Set up the TCP/IP Protocol in "Obtain an IP address automatically" mode on your PC. If you need instructions as to how to do this, please refer to T3 in Appendix B: Troubleshooting.

2)Then the built-in DHCP server will assign IP address for the PC.

Now, you can run the Ping command in the command prompt to verify the network connection. Please click the Start menu on your desktop, select run tab, type cmd or command in the field and press Enter. Type ping 192.168.1.1 on the next screen, and then press Enter.

If the result displayed is similar to the screen below, the connection between your PC and the modem router has been established.

Figure 3-1

If the result displayed is similar to the screen shown below, it means that your PC has not connected to the modem router.

Status: If you want to use a designed VC, you should activate it.

VPI: Identifies the virtual path between endpoints in an ATM network. The valid range is from 0 to 255. Please input the value provided by your ISP.

VCI: Identifies the virtual channel endpoints in an ATM network. The valid range is from 32 to 65535 (1 to 31 is reserved for well-known protocols). Please input the value provided by your ISP.

QoS: Select the Quality of Service types for this Virtual Circuit, including CBR (Constant Bit Rate), UBR (Unspecified Bit Rate) and VBR (Variable Bit Rate). These QoS types are all controlled by the parameters specified below, including PCR (Peak Cell Rate), SCR (Sustained Cell Rate) and MBS (Maximum Burst Size), please configure them according to your needs.

4.3.1.1 IPv4

There are two IP versions: IPv4 and IPv6. If you select IPv4 as IP version, please follow the configuration below to configure the parameters for WAN ports.

Encapsulation: There are four connection types: Dynamic IP Address, Static IP Address, PPPoA/PPPoE and Bridge Mode. Please choose the designed type that you want to use. After that, you should follow the configuration below to proceed.

1)Dynamic IP Address

Select this option if your ISP provides you an IP address automatically. This option is typically used for Cable services. Please enter the Dynamic IP information accordingly.

Encapsulation: Select the encapsulation mode for the Dynamic IP Address, you can leave it default.

Bridge Interface: Activate the option, the modem router can also work in Bridge mode.

Default Route: If enable this function, the current PVC will be considered as the default gateway to Internet from this device.

TCP MTU Option: Enter the TCP MTU as your desire. The default value is 1500.

IPv4 Address: If you select IPv4 as IP version, you should configure the following.

NAT: Select this option to Enable/Disable the NAT (Network Address Translation) function for this VC. The NAT function can be activated or deactivated per PVC basis.

Dynamic Route: Select this option to specify the RIP (Routing Information protocol) version for WAN interface, including RIP1, RIP2-B and RIP2-M. RIP2-B and RIP2-M are both sent in RIP2 format, the difference is that RIP2-M using Multicast, while RIP2-B using Broadcast format.

Direction: Select this option to specify the RIP direction. None is for disabling the RIP function. Both means the ADSL modem router will periodically send routing information and accept routing information, and then incorporate them into routing table. IN only means the ADSL modem router will only accept but will not send RIP packet. OUT only means the ADSL modem router will only send but will not accept RIP packet.

Multicast: Select IGMP version, or disable the function. IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a session-layer protocol used to establish membership in a multicast group. The ADSL ATU-R supports IGMP version 1 (IGMP v1), IGMP version 2 (IGMP v2) and IGMP version 3 (IGMP v3). Select “Disabled” to disable it.

2)Static IP Address
