WIRELESS SUPER G ROUTER USER MANUAL MODEL 502566 INT-502566-UM-0606-02
REGULATORY NOTES AND STATEMENTS Wireless LAN, Health and Authorization for Use Radio frequency electromagnetic energy is emitted from wireless LAN devices. The energy levels of these emissions, however, are far much less than the electromagnetic energy emissions from wireless devices like mobile phones. Wireless LAN devices are safe for use per frequency safety standards and recommendations.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try and correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: 1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. 2. Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver. 3.

1. INTRODUCTION With the explosive growth of the Internet, accessing information and services at any time — day or night — has become a standard requirement for most people. The era of the stand-alone PC is waning. Networking technology is moving out of the exclusive domain of corporations and into homes with at least two computers. This integrated access device combines Internet gateway functions with a wireless LAN and Fast Ethernet switch.

2. UNPACKING AND SETUP This section provides unpacking and setup information for the Wireless Super G Router. UNPACKING Open the box of the Wireless Super G Router and carefully unpack it. The box should contain the following items: • One Wireless Super G Router, Model 502566 • One di-pole antenna • One external power adapter • One CD-ROM with this user manual If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for replacement.
3. HARDWARE INSTALLATION FRONT PANEL Front Panel Power — This indicator lights green when the hub is receiving power; otherwise it is off. Status — This indicator blinks green when the router is working. If it stays on or off, the router is not working. WAN (Link/ACT) — This indicator lights green when the WAN port has been connected to an xDSL/cable modem successfully. It blinks green while the WAN port is transmitting or receiving data on the xDSL/cable modem.
HARDWARE CONNECTIONS Connecting the router 1. Plug in one end of the network cable to the WAN port of the router. 2. Plug in the other end of the network cable to the Ethernet port of the xDSL or cable modem. 3. Use another network cable to connect to the Ethernet card on the computer system; the other end of the cable connects to the LAN port of the router. Since the Wireless Super G Router has four ports, you can connect up to four computers directly to the unit.

5. CONFIGURATION First make sure that the network connections are functioning normally. This Wireless Super G Router can be configured using Internet Explorer 5.0 or newer Web browser versions. LOGIN TO THE ROUTER THROUGH A WIRELESS LAN Before configuring the router through a WLAN, make sure that the SSID, Channel and WEP are set properly.
SETUP WIZARD Setup Wizard is provided as the part of the Web configuration utility. You can get the wireless router configuration ready to run in six easy steps by clicking on the “Wizard” button on the function menu. The screen at the right will appear. Click “Next” to continue. Step 1. Set your new password You can set — and/or change — the password, then click “Next” to continue. Step 2. Choose your time zone Select the time zone from the drop-down list. Click “Next” to continue. Step 3.
Step 4. Set the Internet connection Select how the router will set up the Internet connection: • Obtained IP automatically • Fixed IP address • PPPoE to obtain IP automatically • PPPoE with a fixed IP address • PPTP Obtain IP automatically (DHCP client) If you have enabled the DHCP server, choose “Obtain IP automatically (DHCP client)” to have the Wireless Super G Router assign IP addresses automatically.
PPPoE to obtain IP automatically If connected to the Internet using a PPPoE (dial-up xDSL) modem, the ISP will provide a password and username, and then the ISP uses PPPoE. Choose this option and enter the required information. PPPoE with a fixed IP address If connected to the Internet using a PPPoE (dial-up xDSL) modem, the ISP will provide a password, a username and a fixed IP address. Choose this option and enter the required information.
PPTP If connected to the Internet using a PPTP (xDSL) modem, enter your IP address, subnet mask, gateway, server IP, PPTP account and PPTP password in the appropriate fields. If your ISP has provided you with a connection ID, enter it in the “Connection ID” field; otherwise, leave it as zero.
L2TP If connected to the Internet using an L2TP (dial-up xDSL) modem, the ISP will provide a server IP account and password. Choose this option and enter the required information. Step 5. Set Wireless LAN connection Click “Enable” to enable the wireless LAN, then type the ESSID in the text box and select a communications channel. The ESSID and channel must be the same as wireless devices attempting to communicate to the router. Step 6. Setup completed Setup Wizard is now completed.
ADVANCED CONFIGURATION LAN settings This screen enables you to configure the LAN & DHCP server; set WAN parameters; create administrator and user passwords; and set the local time, time zone and dynamic DNS. LAN & DHCP server This screen allows you to set LAN and DHCP properties, such as the hostname, IP address, subnet mask and domain name. LAN and DHCP profiles are listed in the DHCP table at the bottom of the screen. Hostname: Type the hostname in the text box. The hostname is required by some ISPs.
WAN IP: Select whether you want to specify an IP address manually or allow DHCP to obtain an IP address automatically. When “Specify IP” is selected, type the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway in the text boxes. Your ISP will provide this information. DNS 1/2/3: Type up to three DNS numbers in the text boxes. Your ISP will provide this information.
