3   Network Configuration and Introduction to 
Network Connection Modes 
Web management tool allows you to configure GR-534W. The recommended 
browser is Internet Explorer 5.0 version or above. 
The following sections describe how to set the Internet connection, local Ethernet 
connection, and wireless connection, and how to access the Web page of the 
GR-534W. 
3.1   TCP/IP Settings 
By default, the IP address of LAN interface of the GR-534W is 192.168.1.1.The 
subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. The DHCP Server is enabled. 
It is recommended you set the network adapter to be Obtain an IP address 
automatically. Your PC automatically acquires IP address, subnet mask, gateway, 
and DNS address via the GR-534W. If you know the setting of the current LAN 
interface, you can manually set the TCP/IP properties of the network adapter, so that 
your PC can communicate with the GR-534W. 
You may manually set the network adapter by following the steps below: 
Step1 Right click the icon of My Network Places (e.g., Windows XP) and select 
Properties in the menu. The Network Connections page appears. 
 
  
						

							 
8 
Step2 Right click the network adapter icon and select Properties in the menu. 
The Local Area Connections Properties appears. (Note: If there are 
several network cards on your PC, it may not display the Local Area 
Connections Properties page. It may display other dialog boxes.) 
 
 
Step3 Double click the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to display the Internet 
Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties page.  
						

							 
9 
 
 
Step4 Select Use the following IP address and enter the IP address of the 
network adapter. The IP address should belong to the IP network segment 
192.168. 1.X (X is a number between 2 and 254). 
 
Step5 Set subnet mask and then click the OK button to finish manual setting.  
						

							 
10 
Step6 After finishing setting, you may ping the default IP address of the 
GR-534W, to check whether the current connection between PC and the 
GR-534W is normal. Click RUN… in the lower left corner on the desktop, 
and then enter ping 192.168.1.1 in the dialog box. See the following 
figure: 
 
 
Note: 
192.168.1.1 is the default IP address of the LAN interface. If this IP address is 
changed and you need to ping the IP address of the GR-534W, you should enter the 
current IP address in the dialog box above. 
 
Step7 If PC can ping through the default IP address of the GR-534W and the 
following page appears, it indicates that the connection between PC and 
the GR-534W is normal. 
 
 
3.2   Introduction to PPPoE (ADSL) and DHCP (Auto 
config)  
						

							 
11 
If you want to access the Internet via the GR-534W, there are two common access 
ways, including PPPoE and DHCP (Auto config). The following sections describe the 
common network connection modes of these two ways. 
 
Note: 
In the gateway mode, GR-534W provides 5 types of uplink access modes, including 
STATIC (fixed IP), DHCP (Auto config), PPPoE (ADSL), L2TP, and PPTP. For more 
details, please refer to 5.3.2 WAN. 
  The Network Connection Mode of PPPoE 
 
 
If you access the Internet by PPPoE, please do as follows: 
Step1 Connect the uplink interface of ADSL or cable modem to the ISP office end, 
and make sure that the communication between both sides is normal. Set 
your ADSL  or  cable  modem to be bridge mode. For more details, please 
refer to ADSL or cable modem user manual, or consult ISP, and the 
manufactures of the ADSL or cable modem. 
Step2 Use one Ethernet cable connects the LAN interface of the ADSL or cable 
modem to the WAN interface of the GR-534W. 
Step3 Use one Ethernet cable connects your PC to the LAN interface of the 
GR-534W. Set the TCP/IP properties of the network adapter. By default, it 
is recommended you set the network adapter to be Obtain an IP address 
automatically. If you want to manually set the TCP/IP properties, please 
refer to 3.1 TCP/IP Settings. 
Step4 Log in to the Web page of the GR-534W. Click Internet > WAN to display 
the Wide Area Network (WAN) Settings page.  
						

							 
12 
 
 
Step5 On the Wide Area Network (WAN) Settings page, set the WAN 
Connection Type to be PPPoE (ADSL) and enter the correct PPPoE 
username and password. After finishing setting, click the Apply button to 
start dial-up. 
 
  The Network Connection Mode of DHCP (Auto config) 
 
 
If you can access the Internet without dial-up, and ISP provides DHCP service, 
please follow the steps below to finish setting. 
Step1 Use one Ethernet cable to connect the uplink interface of router or 
gateway to the WAN interface of the GR-534W. 
Step2 Use one Ethernet cable connects your PC to the LAN interface of the 
GR-534W. Set the TCP/IP properties of the network adapter. By default, it 
is recommended you set the network adapter to be Obtain an IP address  
						

							 
13 
automatically. If you want to manually set the TCP/IP properties, please 
refer to 3.1 TCP/IP Settings. 
Step3 Log in to the Web page of the GR-534W. Click Internet > WAN to display 
the Wide Area Network (WAN) Settings page. On this page, set WAN  
Connection Type to be DHCP (Auto config). 
 
 
Step4 After finishing settings, click the Apply button, and then GR-534W starts 
to acquire the parameters assigned by the DHCP server, such as the IP 
address, and the DNS address. 
 
3.3   Connection Introduction for Ethernet User 
In the gateway mode, by default, the NAT function of the GR-534W is enabled. Users 
using the LAN interfaces of the GR-534W will use the same IP address of the WAN 
interface to access the Internet. 
Usually, users using the LAN interfaces of the GR-534W need to set the network 
adapter to be Obtain an IP address automatically. If any user wants to manually set 
the TCP/IP properties, please refer to 3.1 TCP/IP Settings. 
3.4   Connection Introduction for Wireless User 
By default, the AP function of the GR-534W is enabled. User that uses the wireless 
network adapter can follow the steps below to finish setting. 
Step1 Enable your wireless network adapter on your PC, and make sure that 
Wireless Zero Configuration tool is available. Right click the Wireless  
						

							 
14 
Network Connection icon and select View Available Wireless 
Networks. 
 
 
Step2 On the Wireless Network Connection page, click Refresh network list 
and the network list will be refreshed. The default SSID of the GR-534W is 
Getnet. Choose the AP that you want to connect, and then click the 
Connect button. The default wireless security mode is Disable, and you 
can connect AP directly without the encryption key. If the GR-534W is 
encrypted, this AP is marked with a lock icon.
  
						

							 
15 
 
 
Step3 If the GR-534W is encrypted, you need to enter the encryption key in the 
field of network key and then click the Connect button. 
 
 
Step4 If the wireless network card connects to GR-534W successfully, the 
character Connected will appear in the AP’s upper right corner.
