This chapter provides basic instructions for connecting the device to a computer or
LAN and to the Internet.

In addition to configuring the device, you need to configure the Internet properties of
your computer(s). For more details, see the following sections in Appendix A:

Configuring Ethernet PCs section
Configuring Wireless PCs section

This chapter assumes that you have already subscribed a broadband service with
your Internet service provider (ISP). These instructions provide a basic configuration
that should be compatible with your home or small office network setup. Refer to the
subsequent chapters for additional configuration instructions.

Connecting the Hardware

This section describes how to connect the device to the power outlet and your
computer(s) or network.

Before you begin, turn the power off for all devices. These include
your computer(s), your LAN hub/switch (if applicable), and the device.

WARNING

The diagram below illustrates the hardware connections. The layout of the ports on
your device may vary from the layout shown. Refer to the steps that follow for specific
instructions.

Testing your Setup

Once you have connected your hardware and configured your PCs, any computer on
your LAN should be able to use the device to access the Internet.

To test the connection, turn on the device, wait seconds till device booting up and then
verify that the LEDs are illuminated as follows:

Table 1: LED Indicators

If the LEDs illuminate as expected, test your Internet connection from a LAN computer.
To do this, open your web browser, and type the URL of any external website (such
as http://www.yahoo.com).

If the LEDs do not illuminate as expected, you may need to configure your Internet
access settings using the information provided by your ISP. If the LEDs still do not
illuminate as expected or the web page is not displayed, see Troubleshooting section
or contact your ISP for assistance.

Default device settings

The device is preconfigured with default settings for use with a typical home or small
office network.

The table below lists some of the most important default settings; these and other
features are described fully in the subsequent chapters. If you are familiar with
network configuration, review these settings to verify that they meet the needs of your
network. Follow the instructions to change them if necessary. If you are unfamiliar with
these settings, try using the device without modification, or contact your ISP for
assistance.

We strongly recommend that you contact your ISP prior to changing the
default configuration.
