Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with or

consult the manufacturer’s documentation.
Chapter 3: Basic Installation
The router can be configured with your web browser. A web browser is included as a standard application in the
following operating systems: Linux, Mac OS, Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/Me, etc. The product provides an easy and
user-friendly interface for configuration.
Please check your PC’s network components. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network adapter must be
installed. If not, please refer to your Windows-related or other operating system manuals.
You can connect your computer to the router either through an external hub/switch or directly. However, please
ensure that your computer has a properly installed Ethernet interface prior to connecting it to the router. You
ought to configure your Computers to obtain an IP address through a DHCP server or you can set them up with a
fixed IP address that must be in the same subnet as the router. The default IP address of the router is 10.0.0.2
and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (i.e. any attached Computer must be in the same subnet, and have an IP
address in the range of 10.0.0.1 to10.0.0.254). The best and easiest way is to configure the PC to get an IP
address automatically from the router using DHCP. If you encounter any problem accessing the router’s web
interface it may also be advisable to temporarily remove any kind of software firewall on your Computer’s as
they can cause problems accessing the 10.0.0.2 IP address of the router. Users should always make their own
decisions on how to best protect their network.
Please follow the steps below for your PC’s network environment installation.
