ADSL
HomePlug Ethernet Router
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..
4.1 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 the web address bar.
Note…
Before setting up your ADSL Router, make sure you have followed the easy start
guide . You should have your computers configured for DHCP mode and have
proxies disabled on your browser. Upon accessing the ADSL Router, if the
browser still displays a login redirection screen, you should check your
browser's setting and ensure that the JavaScript support is enabled. If the
screen shown in Figure 1-3 is not attainable, you must delete your temporary
Internet files to clear the web cache.
Note…
If there is no connection/link among the HomePlugs with the Ethernet cable
inserted onto the HomePlugs OR the ping test among the HomePlugs are not
successful, please power off and on again for the HomePlugs.
You can also plug out the HomePlugs and then plug in again with the present of
the Ethernet cable.

4.2 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. If you are in doubt for
what content to enter for the Protocol, VPI and VCI, please contact your Service Provider for
assistance.
Note. . .
After clicking on Connect, please be sure to click on “Save Settings” to register
the username / password or any other changes.
Figure 1-4 : Quick Start Page
4.3 LAN 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 Basic Setup, select LAN Configuration. This
will bring up the screen shown in Fig 1-5 . The Start IP Address is where the DHCP server starts
issuing IP addresses. This value must be greater than the ADSL Router IP address value. For
example if the ADSL Router IP address is 192.168.1.1 (default) than the starting IP address must
be 192.168.1. 2 (or higher).

Dy yn na am mi ix x U UM M- -A A P Pl lu us s/ /P PL L ( (T Tu ur rb bo o) ) A AD DS SL L2 2/ /2 2+ + H Ho om me eP Pl lu ug g E Et th he er rn ne et t U US SB B R Ro ou ut te er r
U
Us se er r G Gu ui id de e
The End IP Address is where the DHCP server stops issuing IP addresses. The ending address
cannot exceed a subnet limit of 254. Hence the max value for our default gateway is
192.168.1.254. If the DHCP server runs out of DHCP addresses, users will not get access to
network resources. If this happens you can increase the Ending IP address (to the limit of 255)
or reduce the lease time.
The Lease Time is the amount of time a network user will be allowed connection to the ADSL
Router with their current dynamic IP address. The amount of time is in units of minutes; the
default value is 3600 minutes (60 hours).
Note: If you change the start or end values, make sure the values are still within the same subnet
as the gateways IP address. In other words, if the gateways IP address is 192.168.1.1 (default)
and you change the DHCP start/end IP addresses to be 192.128.1.2/192.128.1.100, you will not
be able to communicate to the ADSL Router if your PC has DHCP enabled.
In addition to the DHCP server feature, the ADSL Router supports the DHCP relay function.
When the ADSL Router is configured as DHCP server, it assigns the IP addresses to the LAN
clients. When the ADSL Router is configured as DHCP relay, it is responsible for forwarding the
requests and responses negotiating between the DHCP clients and the server.
By turning off the DHCP server and relay the network administrator must carefully configure the
IP address, Subnet Mask and DNS settings of every computer on your network. Do not assign
the same IP address to more than one computer and your ADSL Router must be on the same
subnet as all the other computers.

4.4 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. Please click on the Help links, which will provide remedy to the problem as shown in Fig 1-
7 . The purpose of the “Fix It “ button is to restore the router’s VPI and VCI to its originated
setting.

4.4.1 Ping Test
Once you have your ADSL Router configured, ensure you can ping the network. Type the target
address that you want to ping. If your PC is connected to the ADSL Router via the default
DHCP configuration, you should be able to Ping the network address 192.168.1.1. See Fig 1-8 .
If your ISP has provided their server address, try to ping the address. If the pings for both the
WAN and the LAN sides are complete and you have the proper protocols configured, you should
be able to surf the Internet. By default when you select ping test, the ADSL Router will ping
itself 3 times. The ADSL Router passed the Ping test; this basically means that the TCP/IP
protocol is up and running. If this first Ping test does not pass, the TCP/IP protocol is not loaded
for some reason; you should restart the ADSL Router.
Figure 1-8 : Ping Test Screen
4.4.2 Modem Test
This test can be used to check whether your Modem is properly connected to the Network. Select
your
connection from the list and press the ‘Test’ button. See Fig 1-9 .

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. In most cases, this screen should not be modified.
Figure 1-12 : ADSL Modulation (Modem Setup)
4.5.4 Quick start
PPPoE is also known as RFC 2516. It is a method of encapsulating PPP packets over Ethernet.
PPP or Point-to-Point protocol is a method of establishing a network connection/session between
network hosts. It usually provides a mechanism of authenticating users.
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. Select
the VPI and VCI settings; your DSL service provider or your ISP will supply these; in this case
the DSL service provider is using 0,100. Also select the quality of service (QOS); leave the
default
value if you are unsure or the ISP did not provide this information. See Fig 1-13 .
Following is a description of the different options:
1. Username: The username for the PPPoE access; this is provided by your DSL service
provider or your ISP.
2. Password: The password for the PPPoE access; this is provided by your DSL service
provider
or your ISP.
3. On-Demand: Enables on-demand mode. The connection will disconnect if no activity is
detected after the specified idle timeout value.

4. Idle Timeout: Specifies that PPPoE connection should disconnect if the link has no activity
detected for n seconds. This field is used in conjunction with the On-Demand feature. To
ensure that the link is always active, enter a 0 in this field.
5. Keep Alive: When on-demand option is not enable, this value specifies the time to wait
without being connected to your provider before terminating the connection. To ensure that
the link is always active, enter a 0 in this field.
6. Set Route: Specify this connection as the default-route.
7. Enforce MTU: Check this box if you experience problems accessing the Internet over a
PPPoE connection. This feature will force all TCP traffic to conform with PPP MTU by
changing TCP Maximum Segment Size to PPP MTU.
Figure 1-13 :Quick start (PPPOE Connection Setup)
4.5.5 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. Further remember that if you change your gateways’ IP
address
and you have DHCP enabled, the DHCP configuration must reside within the same
subnet The default gateway is the routing device used to forward all traffic that is not addressed
