Setup guide

Before you start

Your computer must have:

• Ethernet port (or USB for models RTA1320, RTA1030W, RTA1025W)

• TCP/IP protocol enabled

• A web browser, such as Internet Explorer 5.x, Firefox 1.x or better.

Obtain your Internet account information from your ISP:

• Login user name and password

• Public IP address (only if you subscribe for static IP)

• DNS server IP (only if specified by ISP).

Connection options:

1. Ethernet (Recommended - this option is Operating System independent.)

The modem router comes with single Ethernet port (RTA1320 & RTA1030W),

or a built in 4-port switch (RTA1025W & RTA1046VW). If you require more

ports, purchase a network switch to provide for more connections, or use

wireless (see the next option). Only one Ethernet cable is provided. Extra

cables and network switch can be purchased from your supplier.

2. Wireless LAN (Only for computers that support wireless LAN. This option

is also Operating System independent.)

The router is also a wireless access point that supports IEEE 802.11g and

802.11b standards. To configure for wireless it is best to connect to a

computer via Ethernet and then follow the Setup Procedure under Section

6 Setting up wireless. Model RTA1320 does not have this option.

3. USB (Not recommended - this option is intended for a standalone

Windows Vista/XP/2000/ME/98SE computer only)

Choose this option only if a computer does not have an Ethernet port and it

is not feasible to add an Ethernet port or use wireless. You must then

install a driver to operate the router. The USB driver and detailed

installation instructions (in the User Manual) are located on the enclosed

CD. Model RTA1046VW does not have this option.
