The following procedures will help you to check the current IP Address setting of your computer. You can compare if your computer and router’s IP Addresses are in the same subnet. Step 1: Click “Start” and select “Run”. Step 2: Type in “cmd” and click “OK”. Step 3: Type ipconfig /all and click enter. z Your PC’s IP address is 192.168.2.111. z The PC’s Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. Your PC’s MAC Address is the one entitled Physical Address (00-00-E2-82- z C3-AD).
4. I forget my login username and/or password. STEPS CORRECTIVE ACTION 1 If you have changed the password and have now forgotten it, you will need to upload the default configuration file. This will erase all custom configurations and restore all of the factory defaults including the password. 2 Press the Reset button for five seconds, and then release it. When the LAN LED begins to blink, the defaults have been restored. 3 The default username is “admin”. The default password is “1234”.
6. Initialization of the ADSL connection failed. STEPS CORRECTIVE ACTION 1 Check the cable connections between the ADSL port and the wall jack. The ADSL LED on the rear panel of the router should be on. 2 Check VPI, VCI, type of encapsulation and type of multiplexing settings are the same as what you collected from your ISP. 3 Restart the router. If you still have problems, you may need to verify your VPI, VCI, type of encapsulation and type of multiplexing settings with the ISP. 7.
7. Glossary 10Base-T It is an Ethernet standard for Local Area Network (LAN). 10Base-T uses a twisted pair cable with maximum length of 100 meters. AAL ATM Adaptation Layer that defines the rules governing segmentation and reassembly of data into cells. Different AAL types are suited to different traffic classes. ADSL Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, as its name showing, is an asymmetrical data transmission technology with high traffic rate downstream and low traffic rate upstream.
CPE Customer Premises Equipment, such as ADSL router, USB modem. Default Gateway (Router) Every non-router IP device needs to configure a default gateway’s IP address. When the device sends out an IP packet, if the destination is not on the same network, the device has to send the packet to its default gateway, which will then send it out towards the destination. DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, this protocol automatically gives every computer on your home network an IP address.
FTP File Transfer Protocol. The Internet protocol (and program) used to transfer files between hosts. Idle Timeout Idle Timeout is designed so that after there is no traffic to the Internet for a preconfigured amount of time, the connection will automatically be disconnected. ISP Internet Service Provider is a business that provides connectivity to the Internet for individuals and other businesses or organizations.
NAT Network Address Translator is defined by RFC 1631. Enable a LAN network to use one set of IP address for internal traffic. A NAT box located where the LAN meets the Internet provides the necessary IP address translation. This helps provide a sort of firewall and allow for a wider address range to be used internally without danger of conflict. Using the router’s NAT capability, you can access the Internet from any computer on your home network without having to purchase more IP addresses from your ISP.
PPPoA (RFC 2364) The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) provides a standard method for transporting multi-protocol data grams over point-to-point links. This document describes the use of ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5) for framing PPP encapsulated packets. PPPoE (RFC 2516) This document describes how to build PPP sessions and encapsulate PPP packets over Ethernet. PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) provides the ability to connect a network of hosts over a simple bridging access device to a remote Access Concentrator.
Router A system responsible for making decisions about which of several paths network (or Internet) traffic will follow. To do this, it uses a routing protocol to gain information about the network and algorithms to choose the best route based on several criteria known as "routing metrics. Subnet Mask A subnet mask, which may be a part of the TCP/IP information provided by your ISP, is a set of four numbers (e.g. 255.255.255.0) configured like an IP address.
WAN Wide Area Network is a network that connects computers located in geographically separate areas (e.g. different buildings, cities, countries). The Internet is a wide area network. Web-based management Graphical User Interface (GUI) Many devices support a graphical user interface that is based on the web browser. This means the user can use the familiar Netscape or Microsoft Internet Explorer to Control/configure or monitor the device being managed.
