2 Notes
These notes cover basic set-up and configuration of the Asus AAM ADSL routers. In most cases configuration is the same
for all current Asus router models. However the VI model is slightly different because of the wireless set-up. A
supplementary set-up guide is supplied to cover the wireless set-up for that model.
3 Connecting to your network and line
3.1 EV
Model
The LAN port on the EV router is the type designed to be connected to an ‘uplink’ (or crossover) port on a hub. This means
you can also connect the router LAN port direct to the port on a PC LAN card using a standard cat5 LAN cable. If you wish
to connect the router to a ‘normal’ port on a hub then you will need to use a crossover cable or adapter. For the purposes of
configuration the easiest way is to connect the router directly to the LAN card of a standalone PC. After you have gone
through initial set-up of the router (see below) you can then connect the router to the uplink port of your hub if required.
3.2 BI and VI Model
Simply connect you PC to one of the normal LAN ports on the router using a standard CAT5 LAN cable.
Then refer to the product manual and connect to the ADSL line using RJ11/RJ11 cable as supplied by your provider (if you
don’t have a cable then we can supply one for you) from the socket marked ‘Line’ on the back of the router.
4 Basic Configuration
Please note that the author is assuming you are using MS Windows (Win9x or 2K/XP) or Mac OS10; please make
appropriate allowances if using another operating system or platform such as Linux. Please note that if there is some reason
why you cannot do configuration via a web browser then you will have to use console management via the WAN port of the
router connected to the serial port of your PC and then run a terminal application. To do this you will require a 9 pin serial
lead. Details on how to do configuration via the console port are given in the product manual. If you are using console
management then the following sections concerning TCP set-up can be skipped and you can go direct to the section
concerning configuration from the Main Menu.
4.1 Setting up TCP/IP protocol on your PC
The easiest way to configure the router is using a standard web browser (e.g. Explorer). You first of all need to check the
TCP/IP settings of your PC. If you already use TCP/IP on your PC for LAN use then this section can be skipped.
