ABOUT THIS GUIDE

Congratulations on your purchase of this 108Mbps Super-GTM Wireless LAN Router. This integrated
access device combines Internet gateway functions with wireless LAN and Fast Ethernet switch. It
provides a complete solution for Internet surfing and office resources sharing, and it is easy to
configure and operate for every users.

Purpose

This manual discusses how to install the 108Mbps Super-GTM Wireless LAN Router.

Terms/Usage

In this guide, the term “the WLAN Router” refers to your 108Mbps Super-GTM Wireless LAN Router.

Overview of this User’s Guide
Introduction. Describes the 108Mbps Super-GTM Wireless LAN Router and its features.

Unpacking and Setup. Helps you get started with the basic installation of the 108Mbps Super-GTM

Wireless LAN Router.
Identifying External Components. Describes the front panel, rear panel and LED indicators of the

INTRODUCTION

With the explosive growth of the Internet, accessing information and services at any time, day or
night has become a standard requirement for most people. The era of the standalone PC is waning.
Networking technology is moving out of the exclusive domain of corporations and into homes with at
least two computers.

This integrated access device combines Internet gateway functions with wireless LAN and Fast
Ethernet switch. Designed for the business and home, it saves you the cost of installing a separate
modem and ISP line for each computer, while providing ready connection for the users, with or
without the network wires.

Broadband network access is also gaining ground. However, allowing more than two computers to
access the Internet at the same time means less affordable, higher costs. Thus, there is a need to
share one legal IP address over a single Internet connection to link the home with the Internet.

The scarcity of IP addresses and using a shared Internet connection through an Internet sharing
device can solve high network access costs. All linked computers can make full use of broadband
capabilities over such a device.

This device not only comes equipped with a wide range of features, but also can be installed and
configured right out of the box. This device supports a simple local area network and Internet access
share, offering great cost savings.

The local area network connects up home computers while also allowing any of the computers to
access the Internet, share resources, or play online games—the basis of the family computing
lifestyle.

Applications:
Broadband Internet access:

Several computers can share one high-speed broadband connection through wireless or wired
(WLAN, LAN and WAN-Internet).

Resource sharing:

Share resources such as printers, scanners and other peripherals.

File sharing:

Exchange data, messages, and distribute files thus making good use of hard disk space.

Online gaming:

Through the local area network, online gaming and e-commerce services can be easily setup.

Firewall:

A built-in firewall function — for security and anti-hack system.

Features:

 High speed data transfer rate
 Supports NAT for share 1 IP address to all LAN/WLAN users.
 Supports PPPoE and PPTP protocol for Dial-Up ADSL.
 Supports 64/128 bit WEP Encryption
 Supports WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA, WPA2 security
 Supports DHCP Server / Client.
 Supports UPnP (Universal Plug and Play).
 Supports Virtual Server mapping.
 Supports Packet filtering.
 Supports Protocol filtering
 Support Domain filtering

2

 Supports DNS
 Simple Firewall protection.
 Upgradeable firmware for future function.
 Simple setting using Setup Wizard.
 Easy configuration via WEB Browser.

UNPACKING AND SETUP

This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the 108Mbps Super-GTM Wireless LAN
Router.

Unpacking

Open the box of the WLAN Router and carefully unpack it. The box should contain the following items:



One 108Mbps Super-GTM Wireless LAN Router



One dipole antenna



One external power adapter



One CD-ROM with this User’s Guide

If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for replacement.

Setup

The setup of the WLAN Router can be performed properly using the following methods:



The power outlet should be within 1.82 meters (6 feet) of the Broadband Router.



Visually inspect the DC power jack and make sure that it is fully secured to the power adapter.



Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation from and adequate ventilation around the
Broadband Router. Do not place heavy objects on the Broadband Router.



Fix the direction of the antennas. Try to place the Wireless Router in a position that can best
cover your wireless network. Normally, the higher you place the antenna, the better the
performance will be. The antenna’s position enhances the receiving sensitivity.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION

Front Panel

The figure below shows the front panel of the 108Mbps Super-GTM Wireless LAN Router.

Front Panel

Power

This indicator lights green when the hub is receives power, otherwise it is off.

Status

This indicator blinking green means the WLAN Router is working successful. Otherwise, this indicator
always on or off means the function of the WLAN Router is fail.

WAN (Link/ACT)

The indicators light green when the WAN port was connected to an xDSL/Cable modem successfully.
The indicators blink green while the WAN port was transmitting or receiving data on the xDSL/Cable

modem.

WLAN (ACT)

This indicator lights green when there are wireless devices connected and transmitting data to the
WLAN Router.

Local Network (Link/ACT)

These indicators light green when the LAN ports were connected successfully.
These indicators blinking green while the LAN ports were accessing data.

5

Rear Panel

The figure below shows the rear panel of the 108Mbps Super-GTM Wireless LAN Router.

Rear Panel

Antenna

There is one 2dBi Gain Antenna in the rear panel for wireless connection.

LAN (1-4)

Four RJ-45 10/100Mbps Auto-MDIX ports for connecting to either 10Mbps or 100Mbps Ethernet
connections.

WAN

In the four port broadband router, there is an RJ-45 10/100Mbps Auto-MDIX port for the WAN that
will fit the xDSL/Cable modem’s specification need.

DC IN

Plug the power adapter to this power jack

RESET

Use a pin-shape item to push to reset this device to factory default settings. It will be useful too when
the manager forgot the password to login, but the setting will be back to default setting.

6

Hardware connections
Connecting the WLAN Router

1. Plug in one end of the network cable to the WAN port of the WLAN Router.

2. Plug in the other end of the network cable to the Ethernet port of the xDSL or Cable modem.

3. Use another network cable to connect to the Ethernet card on the computer system; the other end
of the cable connects to the LAN port of the WLAN Router. Since the 108Mbps Super-GTM
Wireless LAN Router has four ports, you can connect up to four computers directly to the unit.
There you do not have to buy a switch to connect these computers since one WLAN Router
functions both as a connection-sharing unit and as a switch.

Check the installation

The control LEDs of the WLAN Router are clearly visible and the status of the network link can be
seen instantly:

1. With the power source on, once the device is connected to the broadband modem, the Power,
System, LAN, WLAN and WAN port LEDs of the WLAN Router will light up indicating a normal
status.

2. While the WAN is link up to the ADSL/Cable modem, the WAN port’s LED will light up.

3. While the LAN is link up to the computer system, the LAN port’s LED will light up.
