3. IP Address Setting
Using the router to get into the Internet, the PCs in the network must have Ethernet adapter installed
and be connected to the router either directly or through a hub or switch. The TCP/IP protocol of each
PC has to been installed and the IP Address of each PC has to be set in the same subnet as the router.
The router’s default IP Address is 192.168.2.1 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. PCs can be
configured to obtain IP Address automatically through the DHCP Server of the router or a fixed IP
Address in order to be in the same subnet as the router. By default, the DHCP Server of the router is
enabled and will dispatch IP Address to PC from 192.168.2.100 to 192.168.2.200. It is strongly
recommended to set obtaining IP address automatically.
This section shows you how to configure your PC’s so that it can obtain an IP address automatically for
either Windows 95/98/Me, 2000 or NT operating systems. For other operating systems (Macintosh, Sun,
etc.), please follow the manual of the operating systems. The following is a step-by-step illustration on
how to configure your PC to obtain an IP address automatically for Windows 7, Windows Vista,
Windows XP.

4. Web Management Configuration
Once you have configured your PCs to obtain an IP address automatically, the router’s DHCP server will
automatically give your LAN clients an IP address. By default the router’s DHCP server is enabled so that
you can obtain an IP address automatically. To see if you have obtained an IP address, see Appendix A.
Once your PC has obtained an IP address from your router, enter the default IP address 192.168.2.1
(router’s IP address) into your PC’s web browser and press <enter>
The login screen below will appear. Enter the “User Name” and “Password” and then click <OK> to login.
By default the user name is “admin” and the password is “1234”. For security reasons it is
recommended that you change the password as soon as possible.

ATM VC
Parameter
Description
Virtual Circuit
VPI (Virtual Path Identifier) and VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier
define a virtual circuit.
Status
Each PCV can be toggled Activated or Deactivated.
VPI
VPI is a virtual path determines the way an ATM cell should be
routed. The VPI is an 8-bit (in UNI) or 12-bit (in NNI) number
that is included in the header of an ATM cell. The valid range
for the VPI is 0 to 255. Enter the VPI assigned by the ISP.
VCI
VCI is the label given to an ATM VC to identify it and
determine its destination. The VCI is a 16-bit number that is
included in the header of an ATM cell. The valid range for the
VCI is 32 to 65535. Enter the VCI assigned by the ISP.
QoS
Parameter
Description
ATM QoS
UBR (Unspecified Bit Rate) –Select UBR for applications that
are non-time sensitive, such as e-mail.
CBR (Constant Bit Rate) –This class is used for emulating
circuit switching. The cell rate is constant with time. Select
CBR to specify fixed (always on) bandwidth for voice or data
traffic.
rtVBR (real time Variable Bit Rate) –This class is similar to
nrtVBR but is designed for applications that are sensitive to
cell-delay variation. Examples for real-time VBR are voice with
speech activity detection (SAD) and interactive compressed
video.
nrtVBR (non-real time Variable Bit Rate) –This class allows
users to send traffic at a rate that varies with time depending
on the availability of user information. Statistical multiplexing
is provided to make optimum use of network resources.
Multimedia e-mail is an example of nrtVBR.

16
PCR
Divide the DSL line rate (bps) by 424 (the size of an ATM cell)
to find the PCR (Peak Cell Rate). This is the maximum rate at
which the sender can send cells.
SCR
SCR (Sustain Cell Rate) is the average rate, as measured over a
long interval, in the order of the connection lifetime.
MBS
MBS (Maximum Burst Size) refers to the maximum number of
cells that can be sent at the peak rate. Type the MBS, which is
less than 65535.
Encapsulation
The router can be connected to your service provider in any of the following ways.
