Before you proceed

Before proceeding, you need to:

• Ensure the cable connections are correct and WL-AM604g is powered ON; and
• Acquire an active Internet service, such as an ADSL account.

We recommend using wired connection for initial configuration, which may

help avoid possible setup problems due to wireless uncertainty. Use a

CAT5 cable to connect an Ethernet-enabled computer to a LAN port of WL-

AM604g.

Preparing your WAN

Based on the requirements of your Internet Service Provider (ISP), ensure that you

have the following information for setting up the Internet connection on your WL-

AM604g:

• Virtual Path Identifier (VPI)

• Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI)

• Host name

• Domain name

• ISP login user name and password

• ISP Domain Name System (DNS) server address

• Static IP address

Preparing your LAN

To use WL-AM604g on your network, you need to install a network interface card (NIC) or an

IEEE802.11b/g wireless network card to your computer.

LAN configuration requirement

For the initial configuration, we recommend that you connect a computer to one of

the LAN port of WL-AM604g and configure the TCP/IP settings of your computer. The

default IP settings of WL-AM604g are:

IP address: 192.168.1.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
DHCP server: enabled

To access WL-AM604g, you must set your computer in the same subnet with the ADSL

router. You can set the computer to accept a dynamic IP address assigned by the

DHCP server of WL-AM604g, or manually set up an IP address for your computer.
