Chapter 2 Installation
2.1 Before You Start
Please read and make sure you understand all the prerequisites
for proper installation of your new WA1003A-RU. Have all the
necessary information and equipment on hand before beginning the
installation.
2.1.1 Installation Overview
The procedure to install the WA1003A-RU can be described in
general terms in the following steps:
1. Gather information and equipment needed to install the
device. Before you begin the actual installation make sure you
have all the necessary information and equipment.
2. Install the hardware, that is, connect the cables (Ethernet and
telephone) to the device and connect the power adapter.
3. Check the IP settings on your computer and change them if
necessary so the computer can access the web-based
software built into the WA1003A-RU.
4. Use the web-based management software to configure the

stored in its memory. For some users, only their account information
(Username and Password) is required. For others, various parameters
that control and define the Internet connection will be required. You
can print out the two pages below and use the tables to list this
information. This way you have a hard copy of all the information
needed to setup the WA1003A-RU. If it is necessary to reconfigure the
device, all the necessary information can be easily accessed. Be sure
to keep this information safe and private.
Low Pass Filters
Since ADSL and telephone services share the same copper
wiring to carry their respective signals, a filtering mechanism may be
necessary to avoid mutual interference. Alow pass filter device can be
installed for each telephone that shares the line with the ADSL line.
These filters are easy to install passive devices that connect to the
ADSL device and/or telephone using standard telephone cable. Ask
your service provider for more information about the use of low pass
filters with your installation.
Operating Systems
The WA1003A-RU uses an HTML-based web interface for setup
and management. The web configuration manager may be accessed
using any operating system capable of running web browser software,
including Windows 98 SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000, and
Windows XP.
Web Browser
Any common web browser can be used to configure the
WA1003A-RU using the web configuration management software.

The program is designed to work best with more recently released
browsers such as Opera, Microsoft Internet Explorer® version 5.0,
Netscape Navigator® version 4.7, or later versions. The web browser
must have JavaScript enabled. JavaScript is enabled by default on
many browsers. Make sure JavaScript has not been disabled by other
software (such as virus protection or web user security packages) that
may be running on your computer.
Ethernet Port (NIC Adapter)
Any computer that uses the WA1003A-RU must be able to
connect to it through the Ethernet port on the WA1003A-RU. This
connection is an Ethernet connection and therefore requires that your
computer be equipped with an Ethernet port as well. Most notebook
computers are now sold with an Ethernet port already installed.
Likewise, most fully assembled desktop computers come with an
Ethernet NIC adapter as standard equipment. If your computer does
not have an Ethernet port, you must install an Ethernet NIC adapter
before you can use the WA1003A-RU. If you must install an adapter,
follow the installation instructions that come with the Ethernet NIC
adapter.
802.11b Wireless LAN Configuration
All the 802.11b wireless LAN settings may be configured on a
single page using the web-based manager. For basic wireless
communication you need to decide what channel to use and what
SSID to assign. These two settings must be the same for any wireless
workstations or other wireless access point that communicate with the
WA1003A-RU through the wireless interface.

User Manual

Security for wireless communication can be accomplished in a
number of ways. The WA1003A-RU supports WEP encryption,
802.1X authentication, and WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access). Wireless
access can also be controlled by selecting MAC addresses that are
allowed to associate with the device. Please read the section on
Wireless Configuration.
Additional Software
It may be necessary to install software on your computer that
enables the computer to access the Internet. Additional software must
be installed if you are using the device a simple bridge. For a bridged
connection, the information needed to make and maintain the Internet
connection is stored on another computer or gateway device, not in
the WA1003A-RU itself.
If your ADSL service is delivered through a PPPoE, PPPoA or
CLIP (IPoA) connection, the information needed to establish and
maintain the Internet connection can be stored in the WA1003A-RU. In
this case, it is not necessary to install software on your computer. It
may however be necessary to change some settings in the device,
including account information used to identify and verify the
connection.
All connections to the Internet require aunique global IPaddress.
For bridged connections, the global IP settings must reside in a
TCP/IP enabled device on the LAN side of the bridge, such as a PC, a
server, a gateway device such as a router or similar firewall hardware.
The IP address can be assigned in a number of ways. Your network
service provider will give you instructions about any additional
connection software or NIC configuration that may be required.

About CLIP Connections (RFC 1577)
Classical IP over ATM (CLIP) connections may require global IP
settings for the device. Your service provider will give you IP settings
information if needed. Some CLIP connections function like
peer-to-peer connections and therefore do not require IP settings on
the WAN interface.
