zA hub or switch, if you are connecting the device to more than one
computer.
zFor system configuration using the supplied web-based program: A web
browser such as Internet Explorer v5.0 or later, or Netscape v4.7 or
later.
1.4 Factory Defaults
The device is configured with the following factory defaults:
zIP Address: 192.168.1.1
zSubnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
zSSID: Lynx524
zEncapsulation: RFC 2516 LLC

1.5 Warnings and Cautions
zNever install telephone wiring during storm. Avoid using a telephone
during an electrical storm. There might be a risk of electric shock from
lightening.
zDo not install telephone jacks in wet locations and never use the product
near water.
zTo prevent dangerous overloading of the power circuit, be careful about
the designed maximum power load ratings. Not to follow the rating
guideline could result in a dangerous situation.
zPlease note that telephone line on modem must adopt the primary line
that directly outputs from junction box. Do not connect Router to
extension phone. In addition, if your house developer divides a
telephone line to multi sockets inside the wall of house, please only use
the telephone that has connected with the splitter of ADSL Router when
you access the Internet. Under the above condition, if you also install
telephone with anti-cheat-dial device, please pull out this kind of
telephone, otherwise ADSL Router may occur frequently off-line.

3 Hardware Installation
This chapter shows user how to connect Router. Meanwhile, it introduces the
appropriate environment for the Router and installation instructions.
1. Using a telephone line to connect the DSL port of ROUTER to the Modem
port of the splitter, and using a other telephone line connect user’s
telephone to the PHONE port of the splitter, then connect the wall phone
jack to the LINE port of the splitter.
The splitter comes with three connectors as below:
LINE: Connects to a wall phone jack (RJ-11 jack)
ROUTER: Connects to the DSL jack of ROUTER
PHONE: Connects to a telephone set
2. Using an Ethernet Cable to connect the LAN port of the ROUTER to user’s
LAN or a PC with network card installed. Or using an USB cables to connect
the USB port of the ROUTER to user’s PC.
3. Connect the power cable to the PWR connector on ROUTER, then plug in
the AC power adapter to the AC power outlet, and then press the on-off
button.
Notes: Without the splitter and certain situation, transient noise from
telephone can interfere with the operation of the Router, and the
Router may introduce noise to the telephone line. To prevent this
from happening, a small external splitter must be connected to
each telephone.

5 Web-based Management Guide
In order to use the web-based management software, it will be necessary to use
a computer that occupies the same subnet as the Router. The simplest way to
do this for many users will be to use DHCP server that is enabled by default on
the Router.
5.1 LAN setting page
Launch a web browser, such as Internet Explorer, and then use
http://192.168.1.1 to log on to the setting pages.
After user log in to the modem, the general status page appears.
5.2 Internet Access Configuration
The setup wizard will guide you to configure the DSL router to access Internet.
Quick Setup
If there aren’t any pre-configured PVCs in the router, you can find Quick Setup
option on the left of router configuration page. Or user can delete the PVCs
pre-configured to find the option.
1. From home page, click Quick Setup.
Click
Enter username
‘admin’ and
password ‘admin’

2. Unselect the check box to disable DSL Auto-connect process. Set VPI/VCI
value provided by your ISP.
a PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
1. Select PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) as connection type, and select
LLC/SNAP-BRIDGING as encapsulation mode.
2. Input PPP Username & PPP Password and then click Next. The user interface
allows a maximum of 256 characters in the user name and a maximum of 32
characters in the password. Please remember to enable NAT and Firewall as below.

PPPoE service name can be blank unless your Internet Service Provider gives you a
value to enter.
Authentication method is default to Auto. It is recommended that you leave the
Authentication method in Auto, however, you may select PAP or CHAP if
necessary. The default value for MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) is 1500 for
PPPoA and 1492 for PPPoE. Do not change these values unless your ISP asks you
to.
The gateway can be configured to disconnect if there is no activity for a specific period
of time by selecting the Dial on demand check box and entering the Inactivity
timeout. The entered value must be between 1 minute to 4320 minutes.
The PPP IP Extension is a special feature deployed by some service providers.
Unless your service provider specifically requires this setup, do not select it. If you
need to select it, the PPP IP Extension supports the following conditions:

It allows only one computer on the LAN.
The public IP address assigned by the remote using the PPP/IPCP
protocol is actually not used on the WAN PPP interface. Instead, it
is forwarded to the computer's LAN interface through DHCP. Only
one system on the LAN can be connected to the remote, since the
DHCP server within the ADSL gateway has only a single IP
address to assign to a LAN device.
NAPT and firewall are disabled when this option is selected.
The gateway becomes the default gateway and DNS server to the
computer through DHCP using the LAN interface IP address.
The gateway extends the IP subnet at the remote service provider to
