Installation Location
The DIR-100 functions as an Ethernet LAN for your home or office use. The Router can be placed on a shelf or desktop and ideally 
you should be able to see the LED indicators on the front if you need to view them for troubleshooting. No special wiring or cooling 
requirements are needed but when you are ready to place the Router, you must take into account the following guidelines:• 
Place the DIR-100 on a flat horizontal plane.
• 
Keep away from any heating devices.
• 
Do not place in a dusty or wet environment.
The recommended operational specifications of the DIR-100 are:
Temperature  3o F ~ 131o F
Humidity  5 % ~ 90 %
In addition, remember to turn off the power, remove the power cord from the outlet, and keep your hands dry when you install the 
hardware.
Network Settings
To use the DIR-100 correctly, you have to properly configure the network settings of your computers. The default IP address of the DIR-100 
is 192.168.0.1, and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. These addresses can be changed as needed, 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 Configuring Your PCs 
to Connect to the DIR-100 to configure it. 
For example:
1.  Configure your computer 
IP as 19 .168.0.3, subnet mask  as 55. 55. 55.0 and gateway  as 19.168.0.1 
Or more conveniently
.  Configure your computers to obtain TCP/IP settings automatically from the DHCP server feature of the DIR-100
Since the IP address of the DIR-100 is 19 .168.0.1, the IP address of your computer must be 19 .168.0.X (where “X” is a number between 
  and  54.) Each computer on your network must have a different IP address within that range. The default gateway must be 19 .168.0.1

Configuration
The  DIR-100  provides  an  embedded  Web-based  management  utility  making  it  operating  system  independent.  You  can  configure 
your DIR-100 through the Netscape Communicator or Internet Explorer browser in MS Windows®, Macintosh, Linux or UNIX based 
platforms. All that is needed is a web browser such as Internet Explorer\
 or Netscape Navigator with Java Script enabled.
Log in
Open your web browser and type in the IP address of the DIR-100 into the Location (for Netscape) or Address (for IE) field and 
press “Enter.” The default IP address of the DIR-100 is 192.168.0.1 
For example: http://192.168.0.1
After the connection is established, the logon screen will pop up.
To  log  in  as  an administrator,  enter the  username  of  “admin”  and  the 
password (there isn’t a default password, leave it blank). Click the OK 
button.  If  the  password  is  correct,  the  web-management  interface  will
