a.  Wired LAN connection: connects  an Ethernet cable from your comp uter’s Ethernet port to one of 
the LAN ports of this product. 
b.  Wireless LAN connection: locate this product  at a proper position to gain the best transmit 
performance  
 
Figure 2-3 Setup of LAN and WAN connections for this product.   
3.  Setup WAN connection  
Prepare an Ethernet cable for connecting this pr oduct to your cable/xDSL modem or Ethernet 
backbone. Figure 2-3 illustrates the WAN connection. 
4.  Power on   Connecting the power cord to power inlet and turning the power switch on, this product will 
automatically enter the self-test pha se. When it is in the self-test phase, the indicators M1 will be 
lighted ON for about 10 seconds, and then M1 will be fl ashed 3 times to indicate that the self-test

To use this product correctly, you have to properly  configure the network settings of your computers and 
install the attached setup program into your  MS Windows platform (Windows 95/98/NT/2000). 
 
3.1 Make Correct Network Se ttings of Your Computer 
 
The default IP address of this product is 192.168.1.2 54, and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. 
These addresses can be changed on your need, but the  default values are used in this manual. If the 
TCP/IP environment of your computer has  not yet been configured, you can refer to Appendix A to 
configure it. For example, 
1.  configure IP as 192.168.1.1, subnet mask  as 255.255.255.0 and gateway as 192.168.1.254, or 
more easier, 
2.  configure your computers to load TCP/IP setting  automatically, that is, via DHCP server of this 
product. 
After installing the TCP/IP communi cation protocol, you can use the ping command to check if your 
computer has successfully connected to this prod uct. The following example shows the ping procedure 
for Windows 95 platforms. First, execute the  ping command 
ping 192.168.1.254 
If the following messages appear:   
Pinging 192.168.1.254 with 32 bytes of data: 
Reply from 192.168.1.254: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=64  
a communication link between your computer and this product has been successfully established. 
Otherwise, if you get the following messages, 
Pinging 192.168.1.254 with 32 bytes of data: 
Request timed out.  
There must be something wrong in your installation  procedure. You have to check the following items in 
sequence: 
1.  Is the Ethernet cable correctly connecte d between this product and your computer? 
Tip : The LAN LED of this product and the link LED  of network card on your computer must be 
lighted. 
2.  Is the TCP/IP environment of y our computers properly configured? 
Tip : If the IP address of this product is 192.168.1. 254, the IP address of your computer must be 
192.168.1.X and default gatew ay must be 192.168.1.254.
