Chapter 3 Connecting the DIR-430
Overview
DIR-430 setup requires little more than Hub or Switch setup. PCs on your local
network should be configured to obtain an IP address (or TCP/IP address) from
the DIR-430 (the DIR-430 also needs to get an IP address). Please consult your
Internet Service provider (ISP) for the method used in getting IP address for the
DIR-430.
Connecting Hardware together and booting up
1. Make sure you power down all of your hardware including the DIR-430, PCs,
hubs, switches and cable or DSL modem.
2. As in figure 3-1, Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to one
of the LAN ports (labeled 1, 2, 3, 4) on the back of the
Gateway, and the other end to a standard port on a network
device, e.g., a PC, Laptop, hub or switch.

Repeat the above step to connect more PCs or Network devices to the Gateway.
3. Connect the Internet Cable from your cable or DSL modem to
the DIR-430 WAN port on the back panel, as shown in the figure
3-2. This is the only port that will work for your cable/DSL
modem connection.
4. Connect the power adapter to the Power port on the back
panel of the DIR-430, and then plug the power adapter into a
power outlet as shown in the figure 3-3.
