1 Overview
Thank you for using this Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) router. With the
asymmetric technology, this device runs over standard copper phone lines. In addition, ADSL
allows you to have both voice and data services in use simultaneously over a single phone
line. It is an ideal solution for the small and medium size business environment.
This ADSL router provides a 10/100BaseT interface for Ethernet connection. Computers can
connect to the router through its Ethernet port to share high-speed Internet access.
Connection to the port is simple, regardless of the operating system in use. This router
receives adaptive rates up to 24Mbps and transmits 1Mbps upstream.

1.3 System Requirements
Before utilizing this ADSL router, verify that the following requirements are met:
Subscription for ADSL service. Your ADSL service provider should provide
you with at least one valid IP address (static assignment or dynamic
assignment via dial-up connection).
One or more computers, each containing an Ethernet 10/100M Base-T
network interface card (NIC).
A hub or switch, if you are connecting the device to more than four
computers.
For system configuration using the supplied web-based program: A web
browser such as Internet Explorer v5.0 or later, or Netscape v4.7 or later.
1.4 Factory Defaults
The device is configured with the following factory defaults:
IP Address: 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Encapsulation: RFC 2516 LLC
VPI/VCI: According to local information
1.5 Warnings and Cautions
Never install telephone wiring during a storm. Avoid using a telephone
during an electrical storm. There may be a risk of electric shock from
lightening.
Do not install telephone jacks in wet locations and never use the product
near water.
To prevent dangerous overloading of the power circuit, be careful about the
designed maximum power load ratings. Not following the rating guideline
could result in a dangerous situation.

Please note that the telephone line on the ADSL router must adopt the
primary line that directly outputs from the junction box. Do not connect the
ADSL router to an extension phone. In addition, if your house developer
divides a telephone line to multiple sockets inside the wall of your home,
please only use the telephone that is connected with the splitter of the ADSL
router when you access the Internet. Under the above condition, if you also
install a telephone with an anti-cheat-dial device, please remove this type of
telephone, otherwise the ADSL router may frequently go off-line.

3 Hardware Installation
This Hardware Installation portion describes how to connect the ADSL router to your
computer, LAN and the Internet. This hardware installation portion assumes you have already
subscribed to an ISP for ADSL service and only covers the basic configurations to be applied
to residential or corporate networks.
Hardware Connection
1. Use telephone line to connect the DSL port of the ADSL router to the MODEM port of
the splitter. Use a separate telephone line to connect your telephone to the PHONE
port of the splitter and then connect the wall phone jack to the LINE port of the splitter.
The splitter comes with three connectors as detailed below:
LINE: Connects to a wall phone jack (RJ-11 jack)
MODEM: Connects to the DSL jack of ADSL router
PHONE: Connects to a telephone set
2. Use an Ethernet Cable to connect the LAN port of the ADSL router to your LAN or PC
with the network card installed.
3. Connect the power cable to the PWR connector on the ADSL router and then plug in
the AC power adapter to the AC power outlet. Press the on-off button.
Note: Without the splitter, transient noise from the telephone can interfere with the
operation of the ADSL router. As a result, the ADSL router may introduce noise to the
telephone line. To prevent this from happening, a small external splitter must be
connected to each telephone.

PPPoE service name can be blank unless your Internet Service Provider gives you a value
to enter.
Authentication method is default to Automatic. It is recommended that you leave the
Authentication method in Automatic, however, you may select PAP or CHAP if necessary.
The default value for MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) is 1500 for PPPoA and 1492 for
PPPoE. Do not change these values unless your ISP asks you to.
The gateway can be configured to disconnect if there is no activity for a specific period of time
by selecting the Dial on demand check box and entering the Inactivity timeout. The entered
value must be between 1 minute and 4320 minutes.
The PPP IP Extension is a special feature deployed by some service providers. Unless your
service provider specifically requires this setup, do not select it. If you need to select it, the
PPP IP Extension supports the following conditions:
It allows only one computer on the LAN.
The public IP address assigned by the remote using the PPP/IPCP protocol is
actually not used on the WAN PPP interface. Instead, it is forwarded to the
computer's LAN interface through DHCP. Only one system on the LAN can be

connected to the remote, since the DHCP server within the ADSL gateway only
has a single IP address to assign to a LAN device.
NAPT and firewall are disabled when this option is selected.
The gateway becomes the default gateway and DNS server to the computer
through DHCP using the LAN interface IP address.
The gateway extends the IP subnet at the remote service provider to the LAN

Appendix
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why are none of the LEDs on when I power on the ADSL router?
A: Please make sure device in use is the power adaptor included with the ADSL router
package. Check the connection between the AC power and ADSL router.
Q: The DSL LED does not turn on after it is connected to the telephone line.
A: Ensure that you are using a standard telephone line (included with the package), and
make sure the line is connected correctly. Determine whether there is poor contact at
each interface and wait for 30 seconds to allow the ADSL router to establish connection
with your ADSL operator.
Q: Why is the DSL LED flashing after it is connected to the telephone line?
A: This means the ADSL router has failed to establish a connection with Central Office.
Please check carefully and confirm whether the ADSL router has been installed correctly.
Q: The LAN LED does not turn on after it is connected to the Ethernet cable.
A: Check that the Ethernet cable is connected to the hub/PC and ADSL router correctly.
Then ensure that the PC/hub has been powered on.
Make sure you use the parallel network cable to connect the UpLink port of the hub, or
use the parallel network cable to connect to the PC. If you are connected through the
standard port of the hub (not the UpLink port), you must use a cross-cable. Please make
sure that your network cables meet the networking requirements above.
Q: My PC cannot access the Internet.
A: First determine whether the PC can ping the interface Ethernet IP address of this product
successfully (default value is 192.168.1.1) by using the ping application. If the ping
application fails, please check the connection of the Ethernet cable and check whether
the status of LEDs are in gear. If the PC uses a private IP address that is set manually
(non-registered legal IP address), please check:
1. Whether the IP address of the PC gateway is a legal IP address. Otherwise, please
use the right gateway or set the PC to obtain an IP address automatically.
2. Please confirm the validity of the DNS server appointed to the PC with an ADSL
operator. Otherwise please use the right DNS, or set the PC to obtain an IP address
automatically.
3. Please make sure you have set the NAT rules and have converted private IP
address to a legal IP address. The IP address range of the PC that you specify
should comply with the setting range of NAT rules. There may be an issue with
Central Office equipment.
Q: Why is my PC unable to browse an Internet web page?
A: Please make sure the DNS server appointed to the PC is correct. You can use the ping
application program to test whether the PC can connect to the DNS server of the ADSL
operator.
Page 23
ADSL ROUTER USER MANUAL
20
Q: The initialization of the PVC connection has failed.
A: Check that the cable is connected properly from the DSL port to the wall jack. The DSL
LED on the front panel of the ADSL router should be on. Check that your VPI, VCI,
encapsulation type and multiplexing setting matches what was collected from your
service provider, Reconfigure the ADSL router and reboot it. If you still cannot determine
the issue, you may need to verify these variables with your service provider.
If an issue is not addressed above, please contact your local service provider for support.
