Chapter 1 - 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.
Preparation
Before beginning the hardware installation, please gather the following materials for the
setup you will be using.
You will need to know the Internet Protocol supported by your ADSL provider to
successfully connect to the Internet. For future troubleshooting or reinstallation, it is
important that you retain these details.
