INTRODUCTION
The P.RG F4202N is designed for sharing a single broadband Internet connec-
tion between several wired and wireless computers. The Router also provides
protection in the form of an electronic “firewall” preventing anyone outside of
your network from seeing your files or damaging your computers. The Router
offers VoIP functionalities through 2 VoIP channels allowing you to use existing
analog phones and a fallback to old telephony at loss of power, WAN, Internet
or VoIP.

INTRODUCTION
This chapter will guide you through a basic installation of the Router including:
1. Positioning the P.RG F4202N
2. Connecting the Router to your network
3. Setting up your computer for networking with the Router
Please read carefully the Safety Information in Appendix “A”
POSITIONING THE ROUTER
You should place the Router in such a location to ensure that:
It is located near an electrical outlet and the fiber socket
Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the unit
It is out of direct sunlight and away from sources of heat
The cabling is away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures, and
sources of electrical noise such as radios, transmitters and broadband am-
plifiers.
It is centrally located with respect to the wireless devices that will be con-
nected to the Router. A suitable location might be on top of a high shelf to
ensure the maximum coverage for all connected devices.

10 HBK 939800036-A1 Hardware Installation
POWERING UP THE
ROUTER
To power up the Router:
1. Plug the power adapter into the power adapter port located on the rear of
the Router
2. Plug the power adapter into a standard electrical wall socket
3. Press the Power button located on the side of the Router
4. Wait for the power LED to turn steady white
CONNECTING THE
ROUTER
The first step to install the router is to physically connect it to the fiber line and
then to connect it to a computer by means of an Ethernet connection.
To connect the fiber cable:
1. Connect one end of the fiber cable into the fiber port located on the rear
panel of the Router.
2. Connect the other end of the fiber cable into the fiber socket
To connect the Ethernet cable:
1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable into one of the four Ethernet ports on
the rear of the Router
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet Network card
of your computer
3. Verify if the Ethernet Network card is configured as DHCP client, otherwise
configure it to remain in the same local network of the router interface (see
chapter “Setting Up Your Computer”)

Hardware Installation HBK 939800036-A1 11
FIGURE 1. Ethernet Cable Connection
In the case your provider will supply to you a SIP account, it will be needed to
properly connect the FXS. In detail you must connect a maximum of two analog
phones to the Phone1 or Phone 2 ports of the Router (FXS connection)

Setting Up Your Computer HBK 939800036-A1 12
Setting Up Your Computer
Setting Up Your
Computer
The Router has the ability to dynamically allocate network addresses to the
computers on your network, using DHCP. However, your computers need to be
configured correctly for this to take place. To change the configuration of your
computers to allow this, follow the instructions in this chapter.
ETHERNET CONNECTION
In case you already established a connection with your Router a first time
and/or you do need to set up manually a connection to your Router, please fol-
low the instructions described in this chapter. You will be guided to set up an
Ethernet connection to the Router. To do so, first you have to verify the exis-
tence of a TCP/IP protocol stack and, then, according to your Operating Sys-
tem, to establish an Ethernet connection to it. This connection will require you to
enable your computer to receive from the Router its own IP Address automati-
cally: in such a case, the Router acts like the DHCP server in your local net-
work.
ETHERNET CONNECTION
>> TCP/IP PROTOCOL
INSTALLATION
This procedure requires the TCP/IP protocol installed on your computer. Refer
