Chapter 3. Quick Installation Guide
This chapter will show you how to configure the basic functions of your AIP-W525H PowerMax 2
Router using Quick Setup Wizard within minutes.
3.1 TCP/IP Configuration
The default IP address of the AIP-W525H PowreMax 2 Router is 192.168.2.1. And the default
Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. These values can be changed as you desire. In this guide, we use
all the default values for description.
Connect the local PC to the LAN ports of the Router. And then you can configure the IP address
for your PC in the following two ways.
¾ Configure the IP address manually
1) Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC. If you need instructions as to how to do this,
please refer to Appendix B: Configuring the PC.
2) Configure the network parameters. The IP address is 192.168.2.xxx ("xxx" is any number
from 2 to 254), Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0, and Gateway is 192.168.2.1 (The
Router's default IP address).
¾ Obtain an IP address automatically
1) Set up the TCP/IP Protocol in "Obtain an IP address automatically" mode on your PC.
If you need instructions as to how to do this, please refer to Appendix B: Configuring the
PC.
2) Then the built-in DHCP server will assign IP address for the PC.
Now, you can run the Ping command in the command prompt to verify the network connection
between your PC and the Router. The following example is in Windows XP OS.
Open a command prompt, and type ping 192.168.2.1, and then press Enter.
¾ If the result displayed is similar to the Figure 3-1, it means the connection between your PC
and the Router has been established well.
AIP-W525H PowerMax 2

Figure 3-1 Success result of Ping command
¾ If the result displayed is similar to the Figure 3-2, it means the connection between your PC
and the Router is failed.
Figure 3-2 Failure result of Ping command
Please check the connection following these steps:
1. Is the connection between your PC and the Router correct?
) Note:
The 1/2/3/4 LEDs of LAN ports which you link to on the Router and LEDs on your PC's adapter
should be lit.
2. Is the TCP/IP configuration for your PC correct?
) Note:
If the Router's IP address is 192.168.2.1, your PC's IP address must be within the range of
192.168.2.2 ~ 192.168.2.254.
3.2 Quick Installation Guide

LAN, such as DNS, Email and FTP. A virtual server is defined as a service port, and all requests
from the Internet to this service port will be redirected to the computer specified by the server IP.
Any PC that was used for a virtual server must have a static or reserved IP Address because its
IP Address may be changed when using the DHCP function.

Otherwise there will be a conflict to disable the virtual server.
4.8.2 Port Triggering
Choose menu “Forwarding → Port Triggering”, you can view and add port triggering in the
screen as shown in Figure 4-34. Some applications require multiple connections, like Internet
games, video conferencing, Internet calling and so on. These applications cannot work with a pure
NAT Router. Port Triggering is used for some of these applications that can work with an NAT
Router.
Figure 4-34 Port Triggering
Once the Router is configured, the operation is as follows:
1. A local host makes an outgoing connection using a destination port number defined in the
Trigger Port field.
2. The Router records this connection, opens the incoming port or ports associated with this
entry in the Port Triggering table, and associates them with the local host.
AIP-W525H PowerMax 2
- 45 -
3. When necessary， the external host will be able to connect to the local host using one of the
ports defined in the Incoming Ports field.
¾ Trigger Port - The port for outgoing traffic. An outgoing connection using this port will trigger
this rule.
¾ Trigger Protocol - The protocol used for Trigger Ports, either TCP, UDP, or All (all protocols
supported by the Router).
¾ Incoming Ports Range - The port or port range used by the remote system when it
responds to the outgoing request. A response using one of these ports will be forwarded to
the PC that triggered this rule. You can input at most 5 groups of ports (or port sections).
Every group of ports must be set apart with ",". For example, 2000-2038, 2050-2051, 2085,
3010-3030.
¾ Incoming Protocol - The protocol used for Incoming Ports Range, either TCP or UDP, or
ALL (all protocols supported by the Router).
¾ Status - The status of this entry, either Enabled or Disabled.
To add a new rule, follow the steps below.
1. Click the Add New… button, the next screen will pop-up as shown in Figure 4-35.
2. Select a common application from the Common Applications drop-down list, then the
Trigger Port field and the Incoming Ports field will be automatically filled. If the Common
Applications do not have the application you need, enter the Trigger Port and the
Incoming Ports manually.
3. Select the protocol used for Trigger Port from the Trigger Protocol drop-down list, either
TCP, UDP, or All.

1. How do I configure the Router to access the Internet by ADSL users?
1) First, configure the ADSL Modem configured in RFC1483 bridge model.
2) Connect the Ethernet cable from your ADSL Modem to the WAN port on the Router. The
telephone cord plugs into the Line port of the ADSL Modem.
3) Log in to the Router, click the “Network” menu on the left of your browser, and click
"WAN" submenu. On the WAN page, select “PPPoE” for WAN Connection Type. Type
user name in the “User Name” field and password in the “Password” field, finish by
clicking Connect.

spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology, using OFDM modulation and operating in the
unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.4GHz, and backward compatibility with IEEE 802.11b devices,
and WEP encryption for security.
¾ DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) - The capability of assigning a fixed host and domain
name to a dynamic Internet IP Address.
¾ DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) - A protocol that automatically configure the
TCP/IP parameters for the all the PC(s) that are connected to a DHCP server.
¾ DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) - A Demilitarized Zone allows one local host to be exposed to the
Internet for a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or videoconferencing.
¾ DNS (Domain Name System) – An Internet Service that translates the names of websites into
IP addresses.
¾ Domain Name - A descriptive name for an address or group of addresses on the Internet.
¾ DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) - A technology that allows data to be sent or received over
existing traditional phone lines.
¾ ISP (Internet Service Provider) - A company that provides access to the Internet.
¾ MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) - The size in bytes of the largest packet that can be
transmitted.
¾ NAT (Network Address Translation) - NAT technology translates IP addresses of a local area
network to a different IP address for the Internet.
¾ PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) - PPPoE is a protocol for connecting remote
hosts to the Internet over an always-on connection by simulating a dial-up connection.
¾ SSID - A Service Set Identification is a thirty-two character (maximum) alphanumeric key
identifying a wireless local area network. For the wireless devices in a network to
communicate with each other, all devices must be configured with the same SSID. This is
typically the configuration parameter for a wireless PC card. It corresponds to the ESSID in
the wireless Access Point and to the wireless network name.

¾ WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) - A data privacy mechanism based on a 64-bit or 128-bit or
152-bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard.
¾ Wi-Fi - A trade name for the 802.11b wireless networking standard, given by the Wireless
Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA, see http://www.wi-fi.net), an industry standards group
promoting interoperability among 802.11b devices.
¾ WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) - A group of computers and associated devices
communicate with each other wirelessly, which network serving users are limited in a local
area.
