Introduction
This manual details instructions of set-up and functions of the wireless Internet
gateway.
This is a breakthrough for SOHO users who need to share a high speed
broadband Internet connection to the Internet. The high-powered antenna design
assures its wireless connection even in large building.
The wireless Internet gateway enables your network to connect through any
ADSL/Cable modem onto the Internet--providing a simple network solution for
SMB and SOHO users.
The one port Wireless Internet gateway is equipped with:
• A WAN Ethernet port (to connect to ADSL/Cable modem)
• An Ethernet port (10/100Mpbs)
• One asynchronous port
The 4 ports Wireless Internet gateway is equipped with:
• A WAN Ethernet port (to connect to ADSL/Cable modem)
• 4 Ethernet ports (10/100Mbps) include one port to select uplink
• An uplink port (to extend to an external hub)
• One asynchronous port.
Once the WAN Ethernet is connected to an ADSL/Cable modem, your ISP will
automatically activate your account. In this way, the entire LAN can share one
high-speed line to the Internet.
The asynchronous port may connect to a 56K modem or to an ISDN TA (to be
used as a dialup backup to the ADSL/Cable connection should the ADSL/Cable
connection fail). If there is no ADSL/Cable service in your area, the dialup backup
can also serve as your Internet access solution.

Connecting Wireless Internet Gateway
To The Network
Preface
In order to install the wireless Internet gateway: you will need to check your PC’s
settings and the values from your ISP before connecting your gateway to the
network.
The information offered by your ISP
l Dynamic IP settings
l Your fixed IP address for the gateway
l Your subnet mask for the gateway
l Your default gateway IP address
l Your DNS IP address
The static IP settings for the PC
l Your PC’s fixed IP address
l Your PC’s subnet mask
l Your PC’s default gateway
l Your PC’s primary DNS IP address
The router’s default IP
address settings is 192.168.2.1
NOTE !
If you would like to use PPPoE, you will need the following
values from your ISP in order to install your router:
l Username
l Password
NOTE !
13
The dynamic IP settings for the PC
We recommend that you leave your IP settings as automatically assigned. By
default, the gateway is a DHCP server, and it will give your PC the necessary IP
settings.
Confirm Hardware Installation
After you have the previous values on hand, you can begin to configure your
wireless Internet gateway.
1. Confirm power of the equipments, on your PCs, your ADSL/Cable modem
and the wireless Internet gateway.
2. Connect the power-supply cable to the power port at the rear of the
wireless Internet gateway. Plug the supplied power cable into a power
outlet. Plug the other end into the back of the power adapter.
3. Connect a network cable from one of your PCs’ Ethernet ports to one of
the LAN ports on the back of the wireless Internet gateway. Do the same
with all the PCs you wish to connect to the wireless Internet gateway.
(If your PCs install with the station cards, you can connect to the device
without cabling)
4. Connect the network cable from your ADSL/Cable modem to the WAN
Ethernet port on the rear of the wireless Internet gateway.
If everything is done, please continue to configure the
wireless Internet gateway’s settings on next page…….
If the gateway assigns your PC’s IP address, you have to
enable the function that obtains the IP address automatically for your
PC. (please See Page 41)
NOTE !
14
Configuring Your Wireless Router

How Using Telnet To Configure Your
Wireless Internet Gateway
Telnet is a telecommunications software utility, which allows you to access a
remote device. The internet gateway has a built-in telnet server that enables a
telnet client to remotely configure the gateway using a menu system.
Launch DOS commend prompt and type Telnet, followed by router‘s IP address
(default IP address is 192.168.2.1) then press Enter.
NOTE: If you change Telnet port no (NOT PORT 23), you should type:
192.168.2.1 <Port No>.
To successfully configure your internet gateway using telnet, TCP/IP
have to be
correctly configured on your PCs and router. And your PCs have to
be located on the same subnet.
NOTE !
42
When prompted to input the router password, press Enter. The wireless internet
gateway telnet server menu will be shown as below.
Define the Router IP Address, Router Subnet Mask, Router Name and
Password by selecting menu letter corresponding to each item. (item a~d)

required by your ISP.
WAN Ethernet Settings
Selects the function of the WAN Ethernet port as Internet Access. Complete the
External IP Port Address, External IP Port Netmask, Gateway IP Address
and DNS IP Address fields using the IP address provided by your ISP.
Async Port Settings
Selects the function of the async port as IP Routing if you have an analog
modem or ISDN TA connected to the async port. Complete the Telephone
number, User name and Password needed to make the connection to your ISP.
Use the menu options to provide specific information about your modem’s Serial
baudrate (speed), Modem Pre-initial, initial, dial-up and hangup strings. You
may also use the menu options to create or edit Login Scripts.
43
Router DNS IP Address
Enter the IP address of your ISP system’s DNS as provided by your ISP.
LAN DHCP Server
You can enable or disable the DHCP function on the internet gateway. If you
select enable, you will be prompted to enter the address range from which the
router will issue IP address.
Virtual Server (IP Mapping)
Define the list of mapped internal and external IP address. For example, you may
want to use IP mapping to access an FTP server on your LAN via the internet.
Load default Settings
Sets the router back to its original factory settings.
Apply and Save Changes
Saves the current configurations into the internet gateway‘s memory.
NOTE: you must select Apply and Save Changes before leaving the menu or
your configuration changes will be lost when the gateway is powered off.
Diagnostic
Select Diagnostic to perform basic hardware checking and display the gateway’s
firmware version. You may also use this option to assign WAN and LAN Mac
address if required by your ISP.
When all options have been configured and after you have selected Apply and
Save Changes, select q.) Quit.
44
How Configuring Your PCs Connect To
The Wireless Router
If you do not wish to set a static IP address on your PC, you will need to
configure your PC to accept the IP address that your gateway will provide.
1. Click Start button, select Settings, then Control Panel
2. Double-click the Network Icon
3. In the configuration windows, select the TCP/IP protocol line that has been
associated with your network card/adapter. If there is no TCP/IP line listed,
you will need to install the TCP/IP now.
45
4. Click the Properties button, then choose the IP ADDRESS tab. Select
Obtain an IP address automatically.
5. Then select DNS configuration tab to add DNS IP address. If you do not
wish to add DNS you can Disable DNS function. Press OK. You have
completed the client settings.
6. After clicking OK, windows will ask you to restart the PC. Click Yes.
46
CONFIRM YOUR PC’s IP CONFIGURATION
There are two tools which are great for finding out a computer’s IP configuration:
MAC address and default gateway.
l WINIPCFG (for windows 95/98)
Inside the windows 95/98 Start button, select Run and type winipcfg. In the
example below this computer has a IP address of 192.168.2.100 and the
default gateway is 192.168.2.1. The default gateway should be the network
device IP address. The MAC address in windows 95/98 is called the Adapter
Address.
You can also type winipcfg in the DOS command.
NOTE !
47
l IPCONFIG (for windows 2000/NT)
In the DOS command type IPCONFIG and press Enter. Your PC IP information
will be displayed as shown below.
This concludes the user manual.
Should you require further assistance or have other inquires please contact your
distributor.
