4. Connecting Ethernet Router via Ethernet
4.1 Configure TCP/IP for Windows 98
After connect all hardware devices, use the following steps to configure the host PC to be
a DHCP client. You have to repeat the same steps for every host PC on your network if
you use DHCP function on your router.
Step 1: Click Start then Settings and choose Control Panel
Step 2: Double click Network icon.
Step3: Select Configuration tab, then choose TCP/IP from the list of installed network
Components and click Properties button.

11
Step4: You can setup the following configurations in two methods:
Option1: Get an IP from Router Automatically
1) Choose Obtain an IP address automatically option in the next window
2) Select Gateway tab and click OK

12
3) Select DNS Configuration tab and select Disable DNS then click OK
Option2: Configure IP Manually
1) Select Specify an IP address, set default IP address for the Router is 10.0.0.2,
so use 10.0.0.X (X is a number between 4 to 15) for IP Address field and
255.0.0.0 for Subnet Mask field.

13
2) Select Gateway tab and add default Router IP Address (10.0.0.2) in the New
gateway field and click Add.
3) Under DNS Configuration tab, select Enable DNS and add DNS values which
provides by your local ISP in DNS Server Search Order field then click Add.

14
You can use ping command under DOS prompt to check if you have setup TCP/IP protocol
correctly and if your computer has successfully connected to this router.
1) Type ping 10.0.0.2 under DOS prompt and the following messages will appear:
Pinging 10.0.0.2 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 10.0.0.2 : bytes=32 times<2ms TTL=64
Reply from 10.0.0.2 : bytes=32 times<1ms TTL=64
Reply from 10.0.0.2 : bytes=32 times<10ms TTL=64
If the communication link between your computer and router is not setup correctly, after
you type ping 10.0.0.2 under DOS prompt following messages will appear:
Pinging 10.0.0.2 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
This failure might be caused by cable issue or something wrong in configuration procedure.

5. Configure ADSL Router via HTML Interface
ADSL Router supports a web-based (HTML) GUI to allow users to configure Router
setting via Web browser.
5.1 Login
1) Launch the Web browser.
2) Enter the default IP address http://10.0.0.2.
3) Entry of the username and password will be displayed. Enter the default login
User Name and Password.
 The default login User Name of the administrator is admin, and the default
admin login password is conexant.
 The default login User Name for the non-administrator is user, and the
default user login password is password.
