Installing and Configuring your ADSL Router
The major functions of the ADSL Router are performed by using the Ethernet network interface. Your computer
must have an Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) installed and set up with the TCP/IP protocol before
beginning to use the router. The router also provides a serial console port for monitoring and configuring the
router via the built-in command line interface. This will be covered largely in the rest of this manual.

You will need to know the Internet Protocol supported by your ADSL provider to successfully connect to the
