3 Getting Started
This Getting Started chapter provides basic instructions for connecting the AAM6030VI to a computer or a
LAN and to the Internet via ADSL.
fPart 1 provides instructions to set up the hardware.
fPart 2 describes how to configure Internet properties on your computer(s).
fPart 3 shows you how to access your AAM6030VI.
This Getting Started assumes that you have already subscribed ADSL service with your Internet service
provider (ISP). These instructions provide a basic configuration that should be compatible with your home
or small office network setup. Refer to the subsequent chapters for additional configuration instructions.
3.1 Connecting the Hardware
In 3.1, you should connect the device to an ADSL line, the power outlet, and your computer or network.
WARNING
Before you begin, turn the power off for all devices. These
include your computer(s), your LAN hub/switch (if applicable),
and the AAM6030VI.
Figure 3.1 illustrates the hardware connections. Please follow the steps that follow for specific instructions.
3.1.1 Connect the ADSL line
Connect your ADSL line to the port labeled LINE on the rear panel of the device, and connect the other
end of the line to the wall phone jack directly or to the optional POTS splitter.
3.1.2 Connect the computers or a LAN
You may use Ethernet or USB cable to connect your computer directly to AAM6030VI. Note that you
should attach one end of the Ethernet cable to one of the ports labeled from LAN1 to LAN4 on the rear
panel of the device and connect the other end to the Ethernet port of your computer. Or you can attach
one end of the USB cable to the port labeled USB on the rear panel of the device and connect the other
end to the USB port of your computer.
If your LAN has more than four computers, you can attach one end of an Ethernet cable to a hub or a
switch (probably an uplink port; please refer to the hub or switch documentations for instructions) and the
other end to one of the Ethernet ports (labeled LAN) of the AAM6030VI.
If you have 802.11b/g wireless LAN card, you may use the wireless feature without any physically wire
connection between your PC and AAM6030VI.
Note that both the crossover or the straight-through Ethernet cable can be used to connect the built-in
switch and computers, hubs or switches as the built-in switch is smart enough to make connections with
either type of cables.
3.1.3 Attach the power adapter
Connect the AC power adapter to the POWER connector on the back of the device and plug in the adapter
to a wall outlet or a power strip.
3.1.4 Turn on your computer
Turn on and boot up your computer(s) and any LAN devices such as hubs or switches.

Figure 3.1 Overview of Hardware Connections
You should verify that its LEDs are illuminated as shown in Table 3.1
Table 3.1 LED Indicators
This LED: ...should be:
POWER Solid green to indicate that the device is turned on. If this light
is not on, check if the power adapter is attached to
AAM6030VI and if it is plugged into a power source.
STATUS Solid green to indicate that the device can communicate with
your ISP via ADSL or flashing when the device is trying to
connect to your ISP.
LINE Flashing when the device is sending or receiving data over
the ADSL connection.
USB Solid green to indicate that the device can communicate
with your PC via USB or flashing when the device is
sending or receiving data over USB.
WLAN
LAN1 ~ 4 Solid green to indicate that the device can communicate with
your PC via Ethernet or flashing when the device is sending
or receiving data over Ethernet.
If the LEDs illuminate as expected, AAM6030VI hardware is working properly.

3.2 Configuring Your Computers
If you use Ethernet cable to connect your AAM6030VI and PC, you don’t need any specific driver
installation and you can skip this section 3.2.1. But if you use USB cable under Windows operation system,
you should install provided USB driver as soon as you plug the USB cable to your PC. Detail steps are
described in 3.2.1 Windows® USB Driver Installation
3.2.1 Windows® USB Driver Installation
1. As soon as you connect the USB cable between your PC and AAM6030VI, your Windows will
detect a new hardware and the Wizard will pop-up. Choose “Install from a list or specific
location” from its menu and then click “Next” (Figure 3.2).
2.

4. The Windows will ask you to confirm the hardware installation. Choose ”Continue Anyway” then
it will start to install the supplied USB driver to your PC automatically (Figure 3.5 and Figure 3.6).
Figure 3.5 Hardware Installation Confirmation Figure 3.6 Hardware Installation
5. You just need to click “Finish” to close the Wizard at the installation complete page (Figure 3.7).
Figure 3.7 Completing the Found New Hardware Wizard
Before you start to access AAM6030VI via Ethernet or USB, you have to configure your PC TCP/IP
address to be 192.168.1.x, where x could be any number between 3 ~ 254, subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
Your AAM6030VI default IP address is “192.168.1.1”.
3.2.2 Windows® XP PCs:
1. In the Windows task bar, click the Start button, and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click the Network Connections icon. (Figure 3.8)
3. In the LAN or High-Speed Internet window, right-click on icon corresponding to your network
interface card (NIC) and select Properties. (Often this icon is labeled Local Area Connection).
The Local Area Connection dialog box displays with a list of currently installed network
items.
