Chapter-2 Installation

2.1 Hardware Installation

1. Place the Wireless LAN Broadband Router to the best optimum transmission location.

The best transmission location for your WLAN Broadband Router is usually at the

geographic center of your wireless network, with line of sign to all of your mobile stations.

2. Connect the WAN port on the router to a Cable/DSL modem, Ethernet Server, or

hub.

3. Connect one or more client PCs to the LAN port(s).

4. Connect the power adapter to the wall outlet and the power jack on the router.

5. Turn your PCs on.

2.2 Preparing the Networking

This chapter covers the things that need to be done before configuring the router. The first thing is

to set all computers on the network for TCP/IP networking and also gather necessary information

from the Internet Service Provider (ISP).

2.3Collecting ISP Information

The following information needs to be gathered from the ISP before configuring the router:

․IP Assignment from ISP: Are IPs assigned dynamically or you have a fixed IP address? If fixed,

what are the IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway as well as the DNS addresses for this

account?

․Connection Type: Is this a PPPoE or PPTP connection? If PPPoE, what are the username and

password associated with this account? If PPTP, the server IP address as well as user

authentication information is required.

Please contact your ISP if you’re not sure of the answers to these questions.

2.4Configuring Windows for IP Networking

Each computer on the network and connecting to the router should be configured for TCP/IP

networking. The router is by default a DHCP server and if you plan to use DHCP (recommended).

Each computer must be configured to receive an IP address automatically. See the procedure

below.

If fixed IP addresses are to be used on the network, you’ll need to manually assign an IP address

to each computer and make sure that they are in the same subnet as the router. Refer to your

Windows documentation for instructions on IP assignment.

To configure TCP/IP in Windows:

Configuring Windows 98 and millennium PCs

1. Click the Start button go to Settings and click on Control Panel. In Control Panel,

double-click the Network icon.

2. Under the Configuration tab, select the TCP/IP line for the applicable Ethernet adapter. Do

not choose a TCP/IP entry whose name mentions DUN, PPPoE, VPN, or AOL. If the word

TCP/IP appears by itself, select that line. Click the Properties button.

3. Click the IP Address tab. Select Obtain an IP address automatically.

4. Now click the Gateway tab, and verify that the Installed Gateways field is Blank. Click the

OK button.

5. Click the OK button again. Windows may ask for original Windows installation CD or

additional files. Check for the files at c:\windows\options\cabs, or insert your Windows

CD-ROM into the CDROM drive and enter the correct file location, e.g., D:\win98, D:\win9x,

etc. ( “D” is the drive letter of the CD-ROM drive).

6. Windows may ask to restart the PC. Click the Yes button. If Windows does not prompt to

restart, restart the computer anyway.

Configuring Windows 2000 PCs

1. Click the Start button go to Settings and click on Control Panel. In Control Panel,

double-click the Network and Dial-up Connections icon.

2. Select the Local Area Connection icon for the applicable Ethernet adapter (usually it is the

first Local Area Connection listed). Double-click the Local Area Connection and Click the

Properties button.

3. Make sure the box next to Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is checked. Highlight Internet Protocol

(TCP/IP), and click the Properties button.

4. Select Obtain an IP address automatically and click the OK button. Click the OK button

again to complete the PC configuration.

5. Restart your computer.

Configuring Windows XP PCs

The following instructions assume you are running Windows XP with the default interface (Control

Panel looks different then previous versions of Windows). If you are using the Classic View (where

icons and menus look similar to previous Windows versions), please follow the instructions for

Windows 2000.

1. Click the Start button and then the Control Panel icon. Click the Network and Internet

Connections icon. Then click the Network Connections icon.

2. Select the Local Area Connection icon for the applicable Ethernet adapter (usually it is the

first Local Area Connection listed). Double-click the Local Area Connection and click the

Properties button.

3. Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and click the Properties button.

4. Select Obtain an IP address automatically and click OK. Click the OK button again to

complete the PC configuration.

Configuring Windows XP PCs

Chapter-3 Web Configuration

This chapter describes how to access the router through the web browser. Please

be noted that in order to access the router’s admin page, a computer must be

connected to one of the LAN ports on the router.

The WLAN Broadband Router is delivered with the following factory default

parameters on the Ethernet LAN interfaces.

Default IP Address: 192.168.1.254

Default IP subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
