1 Safety Precautions
Read the following information carefully before operating the device. Please follow
the following precaution items to protect the device from risks and damage caused
by fire and electric power:
Use volume labels to mark the type of power.
Use the power adapter that is packed within the device package.
Pay attention to the power load of the outlet or prolonged lines. An
overburden power outlet or damaged lines and plugs may cause electric
shock or fire accident. Check the power cords regularly. If you find any
damage, replace it at once.
Proper space left for heat dissipation is necessary to avoid any damage
caused by overheating to the device. The holes on the device are designed
for heat dissipation to ensure that the device works normally. Do not cover
these heat dissipation holes.
Do not put this device close to a place where a heat source exits or high
temperature occurs. Avoid the device from direct sunshine.
Do not put this device close to a place where is over damp or watery. Do not
spill any fluid on this device.
Do not connect this device to any PC or electronic product, unless our
customer engineer or your broadband provider instructs you to do this,
because any wrong connection may cause any power or fire risk.
Do not place this device on an unstable surface or support.

2 Overview
The xDSL Router integrates wireless LAN and USB into one unit. It is designed to
provide a simple and cost-effective xDSL Internet connection for a private Ethernet
and 802.11b/802.11g/802.11n wireless network. The Router combines high-speed
xDSL Internet connection, Ethernet uplink, IP routing for the LAN and wireless
connectivity in one package. It is usually preferred to provide high access
performance applications for the individual users, the SOHOs, and the small
enterprises. The Router supports 3G WAN service.
The Router is easy to install and use. The Router connects to an Ethernet LAN or
computers via standard Ethernet ports. The xDSL connection is made using
ordinary telephone line with standard connectors. You can connect the Ethernet
interface of WAN to Internet with Ethernet cable for ETH uplink. Multiple
workstations can be networked and connected to the Internet by a single Wide
Area Network (WAN) interface and single global IP address. The advanced
security enhancements, packet filtering and port redirection, can help protect your
network from potentially devastating intrusions by malicious agents from outside
your network.
Network and Router management is done through the web-based management
interface that can be accessed through the local Ethernet using any web browser.
You may also enable remote management to enable configuration of the Router via
the WAN interface.

3.2 Hardware Installation
3.2.1 Choosing the Best Location for Wireless Operation
Many environmental factors may affect the effective wireless function of the DSL
Router. If this is the first time that you set up a wireless network device, read the
following information:
The access point can be placed on a shelf or desktop, ideally you should be able to
see the LED indicators in the front, as you may need to view them for troubleshooting.
Designed to go up to 100 meters indoors and up to 300 meters outdoors, wireless
LAN lets you access your network from anywhere you want. However, the numbers of
walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through limit signal
range. Typical ranges vary depending on types of materials and background RF
noise in your home or business.
3.2.2 Connecting the Device
Step 1 Connect the DSL port of the router and the Modem port of the splitter
with a telephone cable; connect the phone to the phone port of the
User Manual

splitter through a cable; and connect the incoming line to the Line port of
the splitter.
The spliiter has three ports:
Line: Connect to a wall phone jack (RJ-11 jack)
Modem: Connect to the Line interface of the router
Phone: Connect to a telephone set
Step 2 Connect the LAN port of the router to the network card of the PC through
an Ethernet cable.
Step 3 Plug the power adapter to the wall outlet and then connect the other end
of it to the Power port of the router.
The followig figure displays the connection of the DSL router, PC, and telephones.
Figure 3 Connecting the DSL router
Note:
If you use 3G WAN service, connect the 3G USB data card to the USB port of
the router.
If you use the Ethernet uplink, connect the WAN interface that is defined to the
Internet with Ethernet cable.
The xDSL uplink, 3G WAN service, and Ethernet uplink can not coexist.

4 PC Network Configuration and Login
4.1 PC Network Configuration
Each network interface on the PC should either be configured with a statically defined
IP address and DNS address, or be instructed to automatically obtain an IP address
using the network DHCP server. DSL router provides a DHCP server on its LAN and
it is recommended to configure your LAN to automatically obtain its IP address and
DNS server IP address.
The configuration principle is identical but should be carried out differently on each
operating system.
The following displays the TCP/IP Properties dialog box on Windows XP.
