Configuration Summary
1. Connect to the Router To configure the WAN connection used by the Router it is first necessary
to communicate with the Router through its management interface, which is HTML-based and can
be accessed using a web browser. To access the management software your computer must be
able to “see” the Router. Your computer can see the Router if it is in the same “neighborhood” or
subnet as the Router. This is accomplished by making sure your computer has IP settings that
place it in the same subnet as the Router. The easiest way to make sure your computer has the
correct IP settings is to configure it to use the DHCP server in the Router. The section below
describes how to change the IP configuration for a computer running a Windows operating
system to be a DHCP client.
2. Configure the WAN Connection Once your are able to access the configuration software you
can proceed to change the settings required to establish the ADSL connection and connect to the
service provider’s network. There are different methods used to establish the connection to the
service provider’s network and ultimately to the Internet. You should know what connection type
you are required to use for your ADSL service. It is also possible that you must change the PVC
settings used for the ADSL connection. Your service provider should provide all the information
you need to configure the WAN connection.
Configuring IP Settings on Your Computer
In order to configure your system to receive IP settings from the Router it must first have the TCP/IP
protocol installed. If you have an Ethernet port on your computer, it probably already has TCP/IP protocol
installed. If you are using Windows XP the TCP/IP is enabled by default for standard installations. Below
is an illustrated example of how to configure a Windows XP system to automatically obtain IP settings
from the Router. Following this example is a step-by-step description of the procedures used on the other
Windows operating systems to first check if the TCP/IP protocol has been installed; if it is not,
instructions are provided for installing it. Once the protocol has been installed you can configure the
system to receive IP settings from the Router.
For computers running non-Windows operating systems, follow the instructions for your OS that
configure the system to receive an IP address from the Router, that is, configure the system to be a
DHCP client.
Note
If you are using this Router to provide Internet access for more than one computer, you can use these
instructions later to change the IP settings for the other computers. Using DHCP will ensure that the IP
addresses assigned to each workstation is unique and able to connect to the Router.
