Radio Frequency Interference Warnings & Instructions
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following methods:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver
• Connect the equipment into an electrical outlet on a circuit different from that which the
radio receiver is connected
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

ess the Enter key and the following screen will appear.
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.
Upon entering the default IP address or the short-cut name (login.router), if the user is first time login, the
user will be brought to the “Setup Wizard” page. See Fig 1.3

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 witho
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.

5.3 LAN / DHCP 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.
his 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).

By turning off the DHCP serv st carefully configure the IP
address, Subnet Mask and DN k. Do not assign the same IP
ddress to more than one computer and your ADSL Router must be on the same subnet as all the other
omputers.
To enable or disable DHCP, Click setup. Under LAN Setup, select DHCP Configuration. This will bring
up the screen shown in Fig 1-5-1. The Start IP Address is where the DHCP server starts issuing IP
addresses. T
The End IP Address is where the DHCP server stops issuing IP addresses. The ending address cann
d 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
ens 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
their current dynamic IP address. The amount of time is in units of minutes; the default value is 3
minutes (60 hours).
Note: If you change the start or end values, make sure the values are still within the same subnet as
gateways IP address. In other words, if the gateways IP address is 192.168.1.1 (default) and you chan
the DHCP start/end IP addresses to be 192.128.1.2/192.128.1.100, you will not be able to communi
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
ADSL Router is configured as DHCP server, it assigns the IP addresses to the LAN clients. When th
ADSL Router is configured as DHCP relay, it is responsible for forwarding the requests and respon
negotiating between the DHCP clients and the server. See figure 11.

Diagnostic Test is used for investigating whether the ADSL Router is properly connected to the WAN
Netw your
con ork. See Fig 1-6. This test may take a few seconds to complete. To perform the test, select nection from the list and press the Test button. Before running this test, make sure you have a valid
DSL link.

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.

ping test, the ADSL Router will ping itself 3 times. The ADSL Router passed the Ping test; this basically
ns that the TCP/IP protocol is up and running. If this first Ping test does not pass, the TCP/IP
rotocol is not loaded for some reason; you should restart the ADSL Router.
