QUICK 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.
