4.4 Connection to LAN
Connect
an Ethernet network cable from your PC’s Ethernet port to one of the router’s LAN
ports. The LAN LINK/ACT LED indicator will be lit by the corresponding port’s number when a
successful connection is made.
All the Ethernet ports support auto crossover functionality which means that either a patch or
crossover cable can be used.
5 Network Settings Configuration
This section will help you configure your computers to be able to communicate with the router.
Computers access the network and the Internet using a protocol called TCP/IP (Transmission
Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol). Each computer on your network must have TCP/IP installed
and selected as its networking protocol. If a Network Interface Card (NIC) or Wireless LAN Card
is already installed in your PC, then TCP/IP is probably already installed as well.
The following description assumes the router has the factory default settings. (If not, please hold
the reset button down for 10 seconds). The default router’s LAN IP is 192.168.8.1 and the DHCP
server setting for LAN users is on (offered IP range from 192.168.8.17 to 192.168.8.128 by
default).
Follow the procedures below to set your computers to get an IP address from the router.
