Chapter 3 Quick Installation Guide
This chapter will show you how to configure the basic functions of your
RNX-N360RT using Quick Setup Wizard within minutes.
3.1 TCP/IP Configuration
The default IP address of the RNX-N360RT is 192.168.1.1. And the default
Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. These values can be changed as you desire.
In this guide, we use all the default values for description.
Connect the local PC to the LAN ports 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 default IP address is
192.168.1.xxx ("xxx" is any number from 2 to 254), Subnet Mask is
255.255.255.0, and Gateway is 192.168.1.1 (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

Wireless Router RNX-N360RT User Manual
-19-
network connection between your PC and the Router. The following example is
in Windows 2000 OS.
Open a command prompt, and type ping 192.168.1.1, 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.
Figure 3-1 Success result of Ping command
If the result displayed is similar to the Figure 3-2, it means the connection
between your PC and the Router is failed.

Wireless Router RNX-N360RT User Manual

Figure 3-2 Failure result of Ping command
Please check the connection following these steps:
1. Is the connection between your PC and the Router correct?
Note: The 1/2/3/4 LEDs of LAN ports which you link to on the Router and
LEDs on your PC's adapter should be lit.
2. Is the TCP/IP configuration for your PC correct?
Note: If the Router's IP address is 192.168.1.1, your PC's IP address must
be within the range of 192.168.1.2 ~ 192.168.1.254.
3.2 Quick Installation Guide
With a Web-based utility, it is easy to configure and manage the RNX-N360RT.
The Web-based utility can be used on any Windows, Macintosh or UNIX OS
