Introduction Congratulations on purchasing this Broadband Router. This Broadband Router is an IP Sharing Router that enables multiple users to share the Internet through an ADSL or cable modem. Simply configure your Internet connection settings in the Broadband Router and plug your PC to the LAN port and you're ready to share files and access to the Internet. As your network grows, you can connect another hub or switch to the router’s LAN ports, allowing you to easily expand your network.
Get to know the Broadband Router Back Panel The diagram (fig1.0) below shows the broadband router’s back panel. The router’s back panel is divided into three sections, LAN, WAN and Reset: Figure 1.0 1) Local Area Network (LAN) The Broadband router’s four LAN ports are where you connect your LAN’s PCs, printer servers, hubs and switches, etc. 2) Wide Area Network (WAN) The WAN port is the segment connected to your xDSL or Cable modem and is linked to the Internet.

Getting Started This is a step-by-step instruction on how to start using the router and get connected to the Internet. 1) Setup your network as shown in the setup diagram above (fig 1.2). 2) You then need to set your LAN PC clients so that it can obtain an IP address automatically. All LAN clients require an IP address. Just like an address, it allows LAN clients to find one another.
: Reboot the PC. Your PC will now obtain an IP address automatically from your Broadband Router’s DHCP server. Note: Please make sure that the Broadband router’s DHCP server is the only DHCP server available on your LAN. Once you’ve configured your PC to obtain an IP address automatically, please proceed to Step 3 2b) Windows XP 1: Click the Start button and select Settings, then click Network Connections. The Network Connections window will appear. 2: Double-click Local Area Connection icon.
5: Click OK to confirm the setting. Your PC will now obtain an IP address automatically from your Broadband Router’s DHCP server. Note: Please make sure that the Broadband router’s DHCP server is the only DHCP server available on your LAN. Once you’ve configured your PC to obtain an IP address automatically, please proceed to Step 3. 2c) Windows 2000 1: Click the Start button and select Settings, then click Control Panel. The Control Panel window will appear.
automatically and Obtain DNS server address automatically as shown on the following screen. 6: Click OK to confirm the setting. Your PC will now obtain an IP address automatically from your Broadband Router’s DHCP server. Note: Please make sure that the Broadband router’s DHCP server is the only DHCP server available on your LAN. Once you’ve configured your PC to obtain an IP address automatically, please proceed to Step 3.
button to start installing the TCP/IP protocol. You may need your Windows CD to complete the installation. 5: After you install TCP/IP, go back to the Network window. Select TCP/IP from the list of Network Protocols and then click the Properties button. 6: Check each of the tabs and verify the following settings: • IP Address: Select Obtain an IP address from a DHCP server. • DNS: Let all fields be blank. • WINS: Let all fields be blank. • Routing: Let all fields be blank.
3) Once you have configured your PCs to obtain an IP address automatically, the router’s DHCP server will automatically give your LAN clients an IP address. By default the Broadband Router’s DHCP server is enabled so that you can obtain an IP address automatically. To see if you have obtained an IP address, see Appendix A. Note: Make sure that the Broadband router’s DHCP server is the only DHCP server available on your LAN.
Status Information (Chapter 3) The Status Information section is for you to monitor the router’s current status information only. Tools (Chapter 4) If you want to Reset the router (because of problems) or save your configurations or upgrade the firmware then the Tools section is the place to do this.
