Introduction

The router has been designed to enable you to access the Internet as simply as possible. Most
of the router's parameters are already set:
It is configured by default as a DHCP server.
It relays to the Internet DNS queries from the local network.
Using your installation CD-ROM you can quickly obtain Internet access.
The configuration parameters of your router are entered during installation (connection
identifier, connection password). These parameters can also be entered or modified in the
menu Internet connection of the HTTP configurator (PPP Username, PPP Password).
However, your computers (PC, Mac) must still be configured. To surf the Internet, your PC (or
any other type of terminal) must also belong to the network. To do so it requires an address by
which it can be identified. All these necessary parameters can be supplied automatically by the
router if your computers are in DHCP client mode (default mode for PCs running Windows).
Depending on the OS installed on your PC, it may be necessary to restart your PC (or other
terminal) after configuring and restarting the router.
Observation: If the terminals are not DHCP clients, your local network then uses a static
addressing plan. Check that:
•
the router belongs to this addressing plan,
•
the default gateway of the equipment in the local network matches the address of your
router,
•
the DNS addresses are correctly configured in each terminal. The router enables DNS
queries to be relayed.
