Step 5: Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) then click Properties: Configure IP address Automatically: Step 6: Select Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain DNS server address automatically. Click OK to finish the configuration.
Configure IP Address Manually: Step 7: Select Use the following IP address and Use the following DNS server addresses. IP address: Fill in IP address 192.168.1.x (x is a number between 2 to 254).
Subnet mask: Default value is 255.255.255.0. Default gateway: Default value is 192.168.1.1. Preferred DNS server: Fill in preferred DNS server IP address. Alternate DNS server: Fill in alternate DNS server IP address. You can use ping command under DOS prompt to check if you have setup TCP/IP protocol correctly and if your computer has successfully connected to this router. 1) Type ping 192.168.1.
Step 2: Double-click Network and Sharing Center icon.
Step 3: Select “Local Area Connection #”.
Configure IP address Automatically: Step 6: Select Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain DNS server address automatically. Click OK to finish the configuration.
Configure IP Address Manually: Step 7: Select Use the following IP address and Use the following DNS server addresses. IP address: Fill in IP address 192.168.1.x (x is a number between 2 to 254). Subnet mask: Default value is 255.255.255.0. Default gateway: Default value is 192.168.1.1. Preferred DNS server: Fill in preferred DNS server IP address. Alternate DNS server: Fill in alternate DNS server IP address.
If the communication link between your computer and router is not setup correctly, after you type ping 192.168.1.1 under DOS prompt following messages will appear: Pinging 192.168.1.1 with 32 bytes of data: Request timed out. Request timed out. Request timed out. This failure might be caused by cable issue or something wrong in configuration procedure. 4.
3) Entry of the username and password will be displayed. Enter the default login User Name and Password as admin and admin.
4.2 Status This page displays the ADSL router’s current status and settings. Click “Refresh” button to update the status.
4.3 LAN This page shows the current setting or LAN interface. You can set IP address and subnet mask for LAN interface in this page.
IP Address -- The IP Address which your LAN hosts use to identify the device’s LAN port. Subnet Mask -- LAN Subnet mask. Apply Change -- Click to save the setting to the configuration. New parameters will take effect after save into flash memory and reboot the system. 4.4 Wireless 4.4.1 Basic Settings This page is used to configure the parameters for wireless LAN clients who may connect to your Access Point. Here you may change wireless encryption settings as well as wireless network parameters.
Band: This is the range of frequencies the gateway will use to communicate with your wireless devices. As you’re looking for products in stores or on the Internet, you might notice that you can choose equipment that supports six different wireless networking technologies: 2.4 GHz(B), 2.4 GHz(G), 2.4 GHz(B+G), 2.4 GHz(N), 2.4 GHz(G+N), and 2.4 GHz(B+G+N). Mode: Default set to AP mode. SSID: Specify the network name. Each Wireless LAN network uses a unique Network Name to identify the network.
802.11 equipment that you will be using transmits at power levels between 1 and 100 mW Associated Clients: This table shows MAC address, transmission, reception packet counters and encrypted status for each associated wireless clients. 4.4.2 Advanced Settings These settings are only for more technically advanced users who have a sufficient knowledge about wireless LAN. These settings should not be changed unless you know what effect the change will have on your Access Point.
one. The default value is 100 (the unit is millisecond, or 1/1000 second). Lower the Beacon Interval to improve transmission performance in unstable environment or for roaming clients, but it will be power consuming. Data Rate: Set the wireless data transfer rate to a certain value. Since most of wireless devices will negotiate with each other and pick a proper data transfer rate automatically, it’s not necessary to change this value unless you know what will happen after change the value.
Encryption: There have 4 encryption options – WEP, WAP (TKIP), WPA2(AES), and WPA2 Mixed. WPA authentication mode: WPA operates in either WPA-PSK mode (Pre-Shared Key or WPA-Personal) or WPA-802.1x mode (RADIUS or WPA-Enterprise). In the Personal mode, a pre-shared key or passphrase is used for authentication. In the Enterprise mode, which is more difficult to configure, the 802.1 x RADIUS servers and an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) are used for authentication.
4.4.5 WPS This page allows you to change the setting for WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). Using this feature could let your wireless client automatically synchronize its setting and connect to the Access Point in a minute without any hassle. In PIN method (PIN-Personal Identification Number), When your 11n router acts as a Registrar, your must enter “Self-PIN Number” on WPS config section, this Enrollee PIN code should be provided by the Enrollee.
4.5 WAN There are three sub-menus for WAN configuration: Channel Config, ATM Settings, and ADSL Settings. 4.5.1 Channel Configuration ADSL router comes with 8 ATM Permanent Virtual Channels (PVCs) at the most. There are mainly three operations for each of the PVC channels: add, delete, and modify. And there are several channel modes to be selected for each PVC channel.
the setting is quite different accordingly. Add -- Click Add to complete the channel setup and add this PVC channel into configuration. Modify -- Select an existing PVC channel by clicking the radio button at the Select column of the Current ATM VC Table before we can modify the PVC channel. After selecting a PVC channel, we can modify the channel configuration at this page. Click Modify to complete the channel modification and apply to the configuration.
VPI -- Virtual Path Identifier. This is read-only field and is selected on the Select column in the Current ATM VC Table. VCI -- Virtual Channel Identifier. This is read-only field and is selected on the Select column in the Current ATM VC Table. The VCI, together with VPI, is used to identify the next destination of a cell as it passes through to the ATM switch.
