2.0 Connecting the Router
2.1 System Requirements
Broadband Internet Access Service (DSL/Cable/Ethernet)
One DSL/Cable Modem that has an RJ45 connector (which is not necessary if the Router is
connected directly to the Ethernet.)
PCs with a working Ethernet Adapter and an Ethernet cable with RJ45 connectors
TCP/IP protocol on each PC
Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Apple Safari
2.2 Installation Environment Requirements
Place the Router in a well ventilated place far from any heater or heating vent
Avoid direct sunlight
Keep at least 2 inches (5 cm) of clear space around the Router
Operating Temperature: 0°C~40°C (32°F~104°F)
Operating Humidity: 10%~90%RH, Non-condensing
2.3 Connecting the Router
Before installing the Router, make sure your PC is able to be connected to the Internet through the
broadband service successfully. If there is any problem, please contact your ISP. After that, please
install the Router according to the following steps. Don't forget to pull out the power plug and keep
your hands dry.
1. Power off your PC, Cable/DSL Modem, and the Router.
2. Locate an optimum location for the Router. The best place is usually at the center of your wireless
network.
3. Adjust the direction of the antenna. Normally, upright is a good direction.
4. Connect the PC(s) and each Switch/Hub in your LAN to the LAN Ports on the Router, shown in
Figure 2-1. (If you have the wireless NIC and want to use the wireless function, you can skip this
step.)
5. Connect the DSL/Cable Modem to the WAN port on the Router, shown in Figure 2-1.

3.0 Quick Installation Guide
This chapter will show you how to configure the basic functions of your DA2154-V1 Desktop Router
using the Quick Setup Wizard within minutes.
3.1 TCP/IP Configuration
The default IP address of the DA2154-V1 is 192.168.40.254, and the default Subnet Mask is
255.255.255.0. These values can be changed as you desire.
Connect a local PC to a LAN port of the Router. And then you can configure the IP address for your
PC in the following two ways.
Configure the IP address manually
1) Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC. If you need instructions as to how to do this, please
refer to Appendix B: "Configuring the PC".
2) Configure the network parameters. The IP address is 192.168.40.xxx ("xxx" is any number
from 1 to 250), Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0, and Gateway is 192.168.40.254 (The
Router's default IP address)
Obtain an IP address automatically
1) Set up the TCP/IP Protocol in "Obtain an IP address automatically" mode on your PC. If
you need instructions as to how to do this, please refer to Appendix B: "Configuring the PC”.
2) Then the built-in DHCP server will assign IP address for the PC.
Now, you can run the Ping command in the command prompt to verify the network connection
between your PC and the Router. The following example is in Windows 2000 OS.
Open a command prompt, and type ping 192.168.40.254, and then press Enter.
If the result displayed is similar to the Figure 3-1, it means the connection between your PC and
the Router has been established well.
