Chapter 4. Quick Installation Guide
After connecting the TL-R860 router into your network, you should configure it. This chapter describes how to configure the basic functions of your TL-R860 Cable/DSL Router. These procedures may take you only a few minutes. You can access the Internet via the router immediately after it has been successfully configured.
4.1 TCP/IP configuration
The default IP address of the TL-R860 Cable/DSL Router is 192.168.1.1, and the default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. These values can be seen from the LAN, and can be changed as your desire. As an example, we use the default values for description in this guide.
Connect the local PCs to the LAN ports on the router. There are then two means to configure the IP address for your PCs.
¾Configure the IP address manually
1)Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC(s).
2)Configure the network parameters. The IP address is 192.168.1.xxx ("xxx" is from 2 to 254), Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0, and Gateway is 192.168.1.1 (The router's default IP address).
¾Obtain an IP address automatically
1)Set up the TCP/IP Protocol in "Obtain an IP address automatically" mode on your PC(s).
2)Power off the router and PC(s). Then turn on the router, and restart the PC(s). The built-in DHCP server will assign IP addresses for the PC(s).
Note: If you need instructions as to how to do this, please refer to Appendix B: "Configuring the PCs.".
Now, you can run the Ping command in the command prompt to verify the network connection between your PC(s) and the router. The following example is in Windows 2000.
Open a command prompt, and type ping 192.168.1.1, then press Enter.
Figure 4-1 Successful result of Ping command
- 8 -
TL-R860 Cable/DSL Router User Guide
If the result displayed is similar to what is shown in Figure 4-1, the connection between your PC and the router has been established.
Figure 4-2 Failed result of Ping command
If the result displayed is similar to what is shown in Figure 4-2, it means that your PC has not connected to the router. If so, refer to the following steps for a solution:
1.Is the connection between your PC and the router correct?
Note: The Link/Act LEDs of LAN port on the router and LEDs on your PC's adapter should be lit.
2.Is the TCP/IP configuration for your PC correct?
Note: If the router's IP address is 192.168.1.1, your PC's IP address must be within the range of 192.168.1.2 ~ 192.168.1.254, the gateway must be 192.168.1.1
4.2 Quick Installation Guide
With a Web-based (Internet Explorer or Netscape® Navigator) utility, the TL-R860 Cable/DSL Router is easy to configure and manage. The Web-based utility can be used on any Windows, Macintosh or UNIX OS with a web browser.
Connect to the router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in the address field of web browser.
Figure 4-3 Login to the router
After a moment, a login window will appear similar to that shown in Figure 4-4. Enter admin for the User Name and Password, both in lower case letters. Then click the OK button or press the Enter key.

Chapter 5. Configuring the Router
This chapter describes each web page's key functions.
5.1 login
After your successful login, you can configure and manage the router. There are nine main menus on the left of the web-based utility. Submenus will be available after you click one of the main menus. The nine main menus are: Status, Quick Setup, Network, DHCP, Forwarding, Security, Static Routing, DDNS and System Tools. On the right of the web-based utility, there are the detailed explanations and instructions for the corresponding page. To apply any settings you have altered on the page, please click the Save button.
There are the detailed explanations for each web page's key functions below.
5.2 Status
The Status page displays the router's current status and configuration. All information is read-only.
1.LAN
This field displays the current settings or information for the LAN, including the MAC address, IP address and Subnet Mask.
2.WAN
These parameters apply to the WAN port of the router, including MAC address, IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, DNS server and WAN connection type. If PPPoE is chosen as the WAN connection type, the Disconnect button will be shown here while you are accessing the Internet. You can also cut the connection by clicking the button. If you have not connected to the Internet, a Connect button will be shown, you can then establish the connection by clicking the button.
3.Traffic Statistics
This field displays the router's traffic statistics.
4.System Up Time

5.4 Network
Figure 5-2 the Network menu
There are three submenus under the Network menu (shown in Figure 5-2): LAN, WAN and MAC Clone. Click any of them, and you will be able to configure the corresponding function. The detailed explanations for each submenu are provided below.
5.4.1LAN
You can configure the IP parameters of the LAN on this page.
- 14 -
TL-R860 Cable/DSL Router User Guide
Figure 5-3 LAN
¾MAC Address - The physical address of the router, as seen from the LAN. The value can't be changed.
¾IP Address - Enter the IP address of your router (factory default: 192.168.1.1).
¾Subnet Mask - An address code that determines the size of the network. Normally use 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask.
Note:
a.If you change the IP address of the LAN, you must use the new IP address to login to the router.
b.If the new LAN IP Address you set is not in the same subnet, the IP address pool in the DHCP sever will not take effect, until they are configured properly.
c.If the new LAN IP Address you set is not in the same subnet, the Virtual Server and DMZ Host may change accordingly at the same time, you’d better re-configure it as well.
5.4.2WAN
You can configure the WAN port parameters on this page.
First, please choose the WAN Connection Type (Dynamic IP/Static IP/PPPoE/802.1x + Dynamic IP/802.1x + Static IP) to the Internet. The default type is PPPoE. If you aren’t given any login parameters (fixed IP address, logging ID, etc), please select Dynamic IP. If you are given a fixed IP (static IP), please select Static IP. If you are given a user name and a password, please select PPPoE. If you are not sure which connection type you use currently, please contact your ISP to obtain the correct information.
1.If you choose Dynamic IP, the router will automatically get IP parameters from your ISP. You can see the page as follows (Figure 5-4):
