3QUICK INSTALLATION GUIDE

This chapter shows you how to quickly configure the basic functions of your

Router using the Quick Setup Wizard.

TCP/IP CONFIGURATION

The default IP address of the 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, all the default values are used for descriptions.

Connect local PCs to the LAN ports of the Router. And then you can

configure the IP address for your PC in the following two ways.

CONFIGURE THE IP ADDRESS MANUALLY

1. Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC. If you need instructions on how

to do this, refer to Appendix A: “Configuring the PC” on page 117.

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).

OBTAIN AN IP ADDRESS AUTOMATICALLY

1. Set the TCP/IP Protocol to “Obtain an IP address automatically” mode

on your PC. If you need instructions as to how to do this, refer to

Appendix A: “Configuring the PC” on page 117.

2. Then the built-in DHCP server will assign IP address for the PC.

Now you can run the Ping command at the command prompt to verify the

network connection between your PC and the Router. The following

example is for Windows 2000.

Open a command prompt and type “ping 192.168.2.1”, and then press

Enter.

If the result displayed is similar to the Figure 4 on page 32, it means a

connection between your PC and the Router has been established.
