Web Browser
Any common web browser can be used to configure the Router using the web configuration management
software. The program is designed to work best with more recently released browsers such as Opera, Microsoft
Internet Explorer
®
version 5.0, Netscape Navigator
®
version 4.7, or later versions. The web browser must have
JavaScript enabled. JavaScript is enabled by default on many browsers. Make sure JavaScript has not been
disabled by other software (such as virus protection or web user security packages) that may be running on your
computer.
Ethernet Port (NIC Adapter)
Any computer that uses the Router must be able to connect to it through the Ethernet port on the Router. This
connection is an Ethernet connection and therefore requires that your computer be equipped with an Ethernet
port as well. Most notebook computers are now sold with an Ethernet port already installed. Likewise, most fully
assembled desktop computers come with an Ethernet NIC adapter as standard equipment. If your computer does
not have an Ethernet port, you must install an Ethernet NIC adapter before you can use the Router. If you must
install an adapter, follow the installation instructions that come with the Ethernet NIC adapter.
Additional Software
It may be necessary to install software on your computer that enables the computer to access the Internet.
Additional software must be installed if you are using the device a simple bridge. For a bridged connection, the
information needed to make and maintain the Internet connection is stored on another computer or gateway
device, not in the Router itself.
If your ADSL service is delivered through a PPPoE, PPPoA or CLIP (IPoA) connection, the information needed
to establish and maintain the Internet connection can be stored in the Router. In this case, it is not necessary to
install software on your computer. It may however be necessary to change some settings in the device, including
account information used to identify and verify the connection.
All connections to the Internet require a unique global IP address. For bridged connections, the global IP settings
must reside in a TCP/IP enabled device on the LAN side of the bridge, such as a PC, a server, a gateway device
such as a router or similar firewall hardware. The IP address can be assigned in a number of ways. Your network
service provider will give you instructions about any additional connection software or NIC configuration that
may be required.
About CLIP Connections (RFC 1577)
Classical IP over ATM (CLIP) connections may require global IP settings for the device. Your service provider
will give you IP settings information if needed. Some CLIP connections function like peer-to-peer connections
and therefore do not require IP settings on the WAN interface.
