3 Start Up
Warning
– You must connect antenna(s) to the SMA style antenna connectors on the router before turning it on.
Failure to do this could result in erratic start up behavior and could possibly damage the unit.
Note
– Z Series routers ship from the factory with DHCP server enabled. The Default Gateway address for the
unit is 192.168.1.10. The address of the web-based administration is also 192.168.1.10. The default source of DNS
is set to “Acquire From Wireless Network.” After you have activated your unit, enabled the WAN connection, and
restarted the unit the SkyRouter will obtain DNS addresses from the wireless network and populate those
addresses on the Ethernet Interface page. From this point on any changes to DNS addressing detected by the
wireless network connection will be displayed on the Ethernet Interface screen and will be the source of DNS
name resolution.
3.1 Power
Before starting connect the supplied 12VDC power adapter or an external 9 - 24VDC power source to the power
connector as described in Section 2. The adapter supplied with your router is suitable for use with 120VAC 60-hertz wall
power. If you need a different power solution contact Ctek.

3.3 Connecting the Antenna
Antennas should be attached to the SMA style antenna connectors described in section 3. The antenna must be
connected before powering the unit on. ON the Z4200 the antenna connector to the right of the LAN LED is the primary
(transmit/receive) antenna and the connector to the left of the reset button is the secondary or diversity antenna.
3.4 Connecting to the Ethernet Port – Administrative Connection
To create a wired connection between a laptop and a SkyRouter connect the laptop using a standard Ethernet cable. For
a direct Ethernet connection between a PC connect to the Ethernet port using a standard or reverse Ethernet cable. The
PC should be set to obtain an IP address and DNS address automatically. For Windows PCs make the following settings
under the networking control panel
