Thank you for choosing the Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) Router. With the asymmetric technology,
this device runs over standard copper phone lines and provides a downstream rate at up to 8 Mbps and upstream rate
at up to 1 Mbps. In addition, ADSL allows you to have both voice and data services in use simultaneously all over
one phone line.
Equipped with Ethernet LAN interface, this ADSL Router can be connected to a LAN or a single Ethernet-equipped
PC. A built-in dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server automatically assigns IP addresses to PCs on the
LAN, and with Network Address Translation (NAT) these PCs can communicate with the outside world with only
one public IP. This ADSL Router provides an ideal Internet access solution for the corporate environment, the small
office and the home user.

Depending on the service type your vendor offers, you may be provide with the devices below:
To use the ADSL Router, you have to subscribe for ADSL service from your broadband service provider. According
to the service type you subscribe, you will get various IP addresses:
Dynamic IP: If you apply for dial-up connection, you will be given an Internet account with username and
password. You will get a dynamic IP by dialing up to your ISP.
Static IP address: If you apply for full-time connectivity, you may get either one static IP address or a range of IP
addresses from your ISP. The number of IP addresses varies according to different ADSL
service provider.

CChhaapptteerr 22:: IInnssttaallllaattiioonn
Choosing a place for the ADSL Router
1. Place the ADSL Router close to ADSL wall outlet and power outlet for the cable to reach it easily.
2. Avoid placing the device in places where people may walk on the cables. Also keep it away from direct
sunshine or heat sources.
3. Place the device on a flat and stable stand.
Connecting the ADSL Router
Follow the steps below to connect the related devices.
1. Remove the end of the phone line from your phone connector and plug it onto the “LINE” port of the POTS
Splitter. Use another phone line to connect your phone and splitter. Plug this phone line onto the “PHONE” port
of the ADSL splitter, and plug the other end of the line onto your phone.
2. Use the line to connect the ADSL splitter (MODEM port) and router’s DSL port.
3. Please attach one end of the Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connector to the LAN port of your ADSL Router.
4. Connect the other end of the cable to the Ethernet port of the client PC.
5. If you want to connect to a hub for used by many devices, please connect the other end to the uplink port of the
hub.

6. Connect the supplied power adapter to the PWR port of your ADSL Router, and plug the other end to a power
outlet.
7. Turn on the power switch.
Note:
For Full Rate (G.dmt) standard, a POTS Splitter is necessary on subscriber’s premise to keep
the telephone and ADSL signals separated, giving them the capability to provide
simultaneous Internet access and telephone service on the same line. To connect a POTS
Splitter:
1. Connect the port Phone to your telephone.
2. Connect the port Modem to your ADSL Router.
3. Connect the port Line to the ADSL wall jack.

Prior to configuring the ADSL Router, you must decide whether to configure the ADSL Router as a bridge or as a
router. This chapter presents some deployment examples for your reference. Each mode includes its general configure
procedures. For more detailed information about web configuration, refer to "Web Configuration".
For making sure that you can connect the ADSL to your computer well and get into Internet successfully, please
make sure the following first.
1. Make sure you have installed a network interface card onto your computer.
2. Make sure the connection between the ADSL and your computer is OK.
3. Check to see the TCP/IP protocol and set the IP address as “Auto Get IP Address”.
When you are sure all above is Ok, you can open the Browser and type in “192.168.100.100” and start to do the web
configuration with different connection modes.
This chapter is going to introduce the function of each connection mode and tell you the basic configuring steps that
you have to do. If you did not follow the c onfiguring steps for using these connection modes, you might get some
connection problems and cannot connect to Internet well.

Description:
In this example, the ADSL Router acts as a bridge which bridging PC IP address from LAN to WAN. PC IP address
can be a static public address that is pre-assigned by ISP or a dynamic public address that is assigned by ISP DHCP
server, or can be got from PPPoE software.
Therefore, it does not require a public IP address. It only has a default private IP address (192.168.100.100) for
management purpose.
Configuration:
1. Choose a client PC and set the IP as 192.168.100.x (x is between 2 and 254) and the gateway as
192.168.100.100.
2. Start up your browser and type 192.168.100.100 as the address to enter the web-based manager.
3. Go to Configuration >WAN Configuration > Create a New PVC and select the Data Mode –RFC1483 Bridged. Then click Next button.
4. Enter the VPI/VCI values provided by your ISP and select the encapsulation type as LLC/SNAP or VC MUX.
Then click Apply.

Description:
In this deployment environment, we make up a private IP network of 192.168.100.100. NAT function is enabled (on
ADSL Router or use another NAT box connected to hub) to support multiple clients to access the Router and some
public servers (WWW, FTP).
If you apply for multiple IP addresses from your ISP, you can assign these public IP addresses to the ADSL Router
and public server, e.g., Web or FTP server. Typically the first IP is network address, the second is used as router IP
address and the last one is subnet broadcasting. Other remaining IP addresses can be assigned to PCs on the LAN.
For example: You are given the IP addresses 10.251.2.0 ~ 10.251.2.7. Then:
10.251.2.0 is network IP address
10.251.2.1 is assigned to router IP address.
10.251.2.7 is subnet broadcasting
10.251.2.2~10.251.2.6 can be assigned to public servers on the LAN.
Configuration:
1. Start up your browser and type 192.168.100.100 as the address to enter this ADSL web-based manager.
2. Go to Configuration > WAN Configuration > Create a new PVC. and select the Data Mode –RFC1483 Routed. Then click Next button.
3. Enter the VPI/VCI values provided by your ISP and select the encapsulation type as LLC/SNAP or VC MUX.
Then click Apply.
4. Set IP configuration for Local WAN IP Address. Choose Specify an IP Address item. Please set as the
following example,
IP Address: 10.3.80.105(should be the one that you get from ISP)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.248(should be t he one that you get fro m IS P)
Check on Enable NAT on this interface and click Apply.

Primary IP: 192.168.100.100, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Secondary IP: 10.3.80.105, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.248
(should be t he one that you get fro m IS P)
Then click Apply.
6. Go to Configuration > IP Route and click Create a New Route to add a new route.
Destination Address: leave default
Netmask: leave default

Description:
As this ADSL Router supports multiple PVCs in the ADSL loop, you are allowed to configure several logical
channels in one physical loop. You can use mixed encapsulation types by applying them to different PVCs. When the
system starts up, it will connect to CO site through the PVCs according to the sequence they are created. Therefore
the default route will be the last PVC you created. You can also modify the default route manually from the IPRoute
page.
The traffic from CPE side will be sent to different PVCs according to the routing rules.

In order to access the Internet through the router, each host on your network must install/setup TCP/IP. Please follow
the steps below for select a network adapter.
Setting TCP/IP on Client PC
To access the ADSL Router via Ethernet, the host computer must meet the following requirements:
With Ethernet network interface.
Must have TCP/IP installed.
Set client PC with obtain an IP address automatically or set fix IP address.
With a web browser installed: Internet Explorer 5.x or later.
The ADSL Router is configured with the default IP address of 192.168.100.100 and subnet mask of
255.255.255.0. As the DHCP server isEnable by default, The DHCP clients should be ab le to
access the ADSL Router. Or you could assign an IP address to the host PC first for initial configuration.
You also can manage the ADSL Router through a web browser-based manager: ADSL ROUTER CONTROL
PANEL. The ADSL Router manager uses the HTTP protoc ol via a web browser to allow you to set up and manage
the device.
To configure the device via web browser, at least one properly-configured PC must be connected to the network
(either co nnected directly or through an exte rnal hub/switch to the LAN port of the de vice).
If TCP/IP is not already installed, follow the steps below for installation.
