Chapter 4 - Installing The ADSL Router 1. Locate a suitable location for the ADSL Router. For connections to the Ethernet and DSL interfaces, please refer to the easy start guide. 2. Connect the AC Power Adapter. Depending upon the type of network, you may want to put the power supply on an uninterruptible supply (UPS). Note… Only use the power adapter supplied with the ADSL Router. A different adapter may damage the product. Fig 1-2 shows the Wireless 4-port Router connection diagram.
Chapter 5 - Setting Up the ADSL Router (Basic Mode) The basic tabs consist of features which are catered for basic users. This section will guide you through your ADSL Router’s configuration. The ADSL Router is shipped with a standard PPP configuration.. 5.1 Logging into your ADSL Router To configure your ADSL Router, open your web browser. You may get an error message at this point; this is normal. 1. Type the default IP address (192.168.1.1) or login.router on on the web address bar. 2.
Figure 1-4 : Basic Home Screen 5.2 Quick Start By default the ADSL Router has being configured to PPP connection and user is only required to enter the username and password (as specified by the local ISP) to connect to the Internet. The Quick Start page is meant for basic users whom only require easy connectivity to the Internet without worrying about any other advance configuration setting.
5.3 LAN / DHCP Configuration On one side of your ADSL Router, you have your own Local Area network (LAN) connections. This is where you plug in your local computers to the ADSL Router. The ADSL Router is normally configured to automatically provide all the PC's on your network with Internet addresses. To enable or disable DHCP, Click setup. Under LAN Setup, select DHCP Configuration. This will bring up the screen shown in Fig 1-5-1.
5.4 Diagnostic Test Diagnostic Test is used for investigating whether the ADSL Router is properly connected to the WAN Network. See Fig 1-6. This test may take a few seconds to complete. To perform the test, select your connection from the list and press the Test button. Before running this test, make sure you have a valid DSL link. Figure 1-6 : Diagnostics Test Screen After running the Diagnostic Test, the screen will indicate that the portion which pass or fail the test.
Figure 1-8 : Ping Test Screen 5.5 Wireless 5.5.1 Wireless Setup The SSID default which is defaulted as “yournetworkname” can be changed. SSID is wireless network name for the wireless router, your wireless client will need this name for wireless connection. The wireless setup allows the user to enable or disable the AP (access point for the wireless feature). Disabling of A.P will prevent the wireless router from emitting any wireless signal.
5.5.2 Wireless Configuration For users who want to explore the advanced features, you can click on the Advance button. The options listed can be changed to cater for advance users. See Fig 1-10 Figure 1-10 : Wireless Configuration Page 5.5.3 Wireless Security It is important for user to enforce security in wireless LAN environment, this is to prevent unauthorized wireless users from accessing your router. By default, the ‘None’ radio button is selected.
In order to implement security, proceed with the following steps. See Fig 1-12 1. Select the WEP option. 2. Check on “Enable WEP Wireless Security” option. 3. Select the “Cipher”option, the available options are 64 bits, 128 bits and 256 bits. 4. You can configure up to 4 sets of keys for your wireless client. Figure 1-12: Wireless Security settings Enter the IP Address of the RADIUS Server (for 802.1x authentication purposes).
WPA which stands for WiFi Protected Access. WPA is an industry-supported, pre-standard version of 802.11i utilizing the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), which fixes the problems of WEP, including using dynamic keys. Figure 1-14 : Wireless Security 5.5.4 Wireless Management Wireless Management consists of Aceess List, Associated Stations and Multiple SSID. 5.5.4.1 Access List This feature permits you to “Allow” or “Ban” any wireless client from accessing the wireless router.
5.6 Advanced This mode is catered for advance users, a brief explanation of the links are listed as shown below. Figure 1-16 : Advance Screen 5.6.1 WAN Connection On the other side of the ADSL Router is where your Wide Area Network (WAN) connection; also referred to as a broadband connection. This WAN connection is different for every WAN supplier. Most of the configuration you will perform will be in this area. Local Area Network Connection(s) 5.6.
Figure 1-17 : New Connection (PPPOE Connection Setup) 5.6.3 ADSL Modulation To configure the DSL modulation type, Click setup. Under WAN Setup, select Modem Setup. This will bring up the modem setup screen. Leave the default value if you are unsure or the DSL/ISP did not provide this information. For most all cases, this screen should not be modified. Figure 1-18 : ADSL Modulation (Modem Setup) 5.6.4 Quickstart PPPoE is also known as RFC 2516.
To configure the gateway for PPPoE, click on Setup and then click on New Connection. The default PPPoE connection setup is displayed. At the Type field select PPPoE and the PPPoE connection setup page is displayed. Give your PPPoE connection a unique name; the name must not have spaces and cannot begin with numbers. In this case the unique name is called PPPoE1. Select the encapsulation type (LLC or VC); if you are not sure just use the default mode.
5.6.5 LAN Configuration You can change the ADSL Router’s IP address by, clicking Setup and under LAN Setup, select LAN Configuration, then click Configure. Your ADSL Router’s default IP address and subnet mask are 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0; this subnet mask will allow the ADSL Router to support 254 users. If you want to support a larger number of users you can change the subnet mask; but remember. The DHCP server is defaulted to only give out 255 IP addresses.
Figure 1-21 : LAN Clients 5.6.7 Ethernet Switch Configuration The IGMP Snooping prevents the switch from flooding the LAN ports with multicast frames, and will instead direct them to the CPU port for processing. Users are able to specify connection speed and set their values accordingly from the following available options.
5.6.8 Application (UPnP) UPnP NAT and Firewall Traversal allow traffic to pass-thru the ADSL Router for applications using the UPnP protocol. This feature requires one active DSL connection. In presence of multiple DSL connections, select the one over, which the incoming traffic will be present, for example the default Internet connection. To enable UPnP, you must first have a WAN connection configured. Once a WAN connection is configured, click Advanced and under Advanced, select UPnP.
8. Time Zone - The time zone of the router. 9. Day Light - Check/uncheck this option to enable/disable day light saving. See Fig 1-24 Figure 1-24 : SNTP 5.6.10 SNMP SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a troubleshooting and management protocol, which uses the UDP protocol on port 161 to communicate between clients and servers. SNMP uses a manager MIB (management information base) agent solution to fulfill the network management needs.
5.6.11 Routing (Static Routing) If the ADSL Router is connected to more than one network, you may need to set up a static route between them. A static route is a pre-defined pathway that network information must travel to reach a specific host or network. You can use static routing to allow different IP domain users to access the Internet through the ADSL Router. The New Destination IP is the address of the remote LAN network or host to which you want to assign a static route.
See Fig 1-27 Figure 1-27 : Dynamic Routing 5.6.13 Routing Table Routing Table shows the information used by routers when making packet forwarding decisions. Packets are routed according to the packet's destination IP address.
