Chapter 3 - Your Gateway At A Glance
The SAR-600E may have different ports and LEDs. Let’s take a look at the different options.
Depending on your model, it may have some or all of the features listed below
3.1 Ports and Buttons
Reset and Restore to Factory Defaults: The restore to factory defaults feature will set the
ADSL Router to its factory default configuration by resetting the ADSL Router. You may need
to place the ADSL Router into its factory defaults if the configuration is changed, you loose the
ability to interface to the ADSL Router via the web interface, or following a software upgrade,.
To reset the ADSL Router, simply press the reset button for about ~ 10 seconds. The ADSL
Router will be reset to its factory defaults and after about 30 ~ 40 seconds the ADSL Router will
become operational again.
LAN (local area network) ETHERNET port: connects to Ethernet network devices, such as a
PC, hub, switch, or routers. Some ADSL Router came with a single LAN connection and some
come with four LAN connections. Depending on the connection, you may need a cross over
cable or a straight through cable.
Power is where you connect the power. Make sure to observe the proper power requirements.
The required power is 9 volts.

Chapter 5 - Setting Up the ADSL Router
The basic tabs consist of features which are catered for basic users.
This section will guide you through your ADSL Router’s configuration. The ADSL Router is
shipped with a standard PPP configuration..
5.1 Logging into your ADSL Router
To configure your ADSL Router, open your web browser. You may get an error message at this
point; this is normal.
1. Type the default IP address (192.168.1.1) or login.router on on the web address bar.
2. Press the Enter key and the following screen will appear.
Note…
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 1-5 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 “Quick Start” page. See Fig 1.5.The Quick Start page is
meant for basic users whom only require easy connectivity to the Internet without worrying
about any other advance configuration setting. For a BT phone line then you need to select
PPPoA/VcMUX, VPI 0, VCI 38. For a KC phone line then select PPoA/LLC with VPI 1 and
VCI 50.
Figure 1-5 : Setup Page

For those who have their routers configured, you will be directed to the “Basic Home” page.
See Fig 1-6.
Figure 1-6 : Basic Home Screen
5.2 Quick Start
If you have already configured your router and wish to change your current configuration, click
on the ‘Quick Start’ link. Fig 1-7 will appear. For a BT phone line then you need to select
PPPoA/VcMUX, VPI 0, VCI 38. For a KC phone line then select PPoA/LLC with VPI 1 and
VCI 50.

Note. . .
After clicking on Connect, please be sure to click on “Save Settings” to register
the username / password or any other changes.
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.
To enable or disable DHCP, Click setup. Under LAN Setup, select DHCP Configuration. This
will bring up the screen shown in Fig 1-8. The Start IP Address is where the DHCP server starts
issuing IP addresses. This 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). The End IP Address is where the DHCP server stops issuing IP
addresses. The ending address cannot exceed 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 happens 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 with their current dynamic IP address. The
amount of time is in units of minutes; the default value is 3600 minutes (60 hours). Note: If you
change the start or end values, make sure the values are still within the same subnet as the
gateways IP address. In other words, if the gateways IP address is 192.168.1.1 (default) and you
change the DHCP start/end IP addresses to be 192.128.1.2/192.128.1.100, you will not be able to
communicate 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 the ADSL Router is
configured as DHCP server, it assigns the IP addresses to the LAN clients. When the ADSL
Router is configured as DHCP relay, it is responsible for forwarding the requests and responses
negotiating between the DHCP clients and the server.
By turning off the DHCP server and relay the network administrator must carefully configure the
IP address, Subnet Mask and DNS settings of every computer on your network. Do not assign
the same IP address to more than one computer and your ADSL Router must be on the same
subnet as all the other computers.

5.4 Diagnostic Test
Diagnostic Test is used for investigating whether the ADSL Router is properly connected to the
WAN Network. See Fig 1-9. This test may take a few seconds to complete. To perform the test,
select your connection from the list and press the Test button. Before running this test, make sure
you have a valid DSL link.
Figure 1-9 : Diagnostics Test Screen
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-
10. The purpose of the “Fix It” button is to restore the router’s VPI and VCI to its originated
setting.
Figure 1-10: Diagnostic Test Result screen

5.4.1 Ping Test
Once you have your ADSL Router configured, ensure you can ping the network. You can access
the Ping Test page by clicking on the “here” hyperlink in Diagnostic Page. Type the target
address that you want to ping. If your PC is connected to the ADSL Router via the default DHCP
configuration, you should be able to Ping the network address 192.168.1.1. See Fig 1-11. If your
ISP has provided their server address, try to ping the address. If the pings for both the WAN and
the LAN sides are complete and you have the proper protocols configured, you should be able to
surf the Internet. By default when you select ping test, the ADSL Router will ping itself 3 times.
The ADSL Router passed the Ping test; this basically means that the TCP/IP protocol is up and
running. If this first Ping test does not pass, the TCP/IP protocol is not loaded for some reason;
you should restart the ADSL Router.
Figure 1-11 : Ping Test Screen
5.4.2 Modem Test
This test can be used to check whether your Modem is properly connected to the Network. Select
your connection from the list and press the ‘Test’ button. See Fig 1-12.
Figure 1-12 : Modem Test

5.5 Advanced
This mode is catered for advance users, a brief explanation of the links are listed as shown
below.
Figure 1-13 : Advanced Screen
5.5.1 WAN Connection
On the other side of the ADSL Router is where your Wide Area Network (WAN) connection;
also referred to as a broadband connection. This WAN connection is different for every WAN
supplier. Most of the configuration you will perform will be in this area. Local Area Network
Connection(s)
5.5.2 New Connection
A new connection is basically a virtual connection. Your ADSL Router can support up to 8
different (unique) virtual connections. If you have multiple different virtual connections, you
may need to utilize the static and dynamic routing capabilities of the modem to pass data
correctly.

5.5.3 ADSL Modulation
To configure the DSL modulation type, Click setup. Under WAN Setup, select Modem Setup.
This will bring up the modem setup screen. Leave the default value if you are unsure or the
DSL/ISP did not provide this information. For most all cases, this screen should not be modified.
