Page 5: Introduction
INTRODUCTION ! ! ! ! What is Easy Setup? Easy Setup is a web browser-based software program that allows you to configure your router quickly and easily, even if you have never installed a router before. If a qualified technician from your Network Service Provider (NSP) has already installed your router, you don’t need to run the Easy Setup pro- gram. - Page 6 The Easy Setup program permanently resides inside your router, allowing you to configure it through a web browser on any platform – Windows, Macintosh, or Unix. If you are configuring your router in Windows, you have the option of installing the Speed Touch™ Office Manager Tools from the Installation CD.

Page 7: Getting Started
Getting Started Establishing a high-speed ADSL connection with your Speed Touch Office router should only take a few minutes if you follow the 5 easy steps below. While you have many installation options, the items that you don’t want to overlook have been highlighted for your convenience. - Page 8 You should also have a list from your NSP with the following information: Protocol to use: PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol, requires a User Name and Password) or RFC 1483 (SNAP Encapsulation) or RFC 1483MER (MAC Encapsulated Routing, requires a WAN Gateway address) Network option to use Bridging and/or IP Routing (requires a WAN IP address and Subnet Mask)

Page 9: Step 2. Connect The Router
STEP 2. Connect the Router To extend the lifetime of your router, place it in a location where it will be well ventilated. Never stack it with other devices on carpet. A diagram of the router’s rear panel, showing a power switch and cables ports, appears on the next page. - Page 10 Alternatively, you may connect a PC via a hub to the router using a cross- over cable (yellow label). If the hub port being connected to the router hap- pens to be a crossover or uplink port (labeled X), you will need to use the straight-through cable (red label).

Page 11: Step 3. Check Tcp/Ip
STEP 3. Check TCP/IP If you have connected your router to a Windows platform, you can verify that TCP/IP is running by clicking the Start button, then Settings, Control Panel, and finally the Network icon in the Control Panel Window. The Network window now appears. - Page 12 In the TCP/IP Properties window, set your PC to obtain an IP address automatically. If TCP/IP is missing, consult your windows documentation to install this driver.
- Page 13 If you have connected your router to a Macintosh platform, you can verify that TCP/IP is running by clicking the Apple icon, then Control Panels, and TCP/IP. In the TCP/IP window, set your PC to Configure Using DHCP Server.

Page 14: Step 4. Open Browser To Run Easy
STEP 4. Open Browser to Run Easy Setup Open your browser and enter your router’s default Ethernet address 192.168.254.254 in the URL (“Location” or “Address” bar). Press Enter on your keyboard. After a connection is made with the router, a screen will appear requesting a User Name and Password. - Page 15 Now you will see a screen describing some of your router’s features and settings. Click on Easy Setup, which will take you to the next page. You will see that some basic functions and benefits are described in the left margin of each Easy Setup window.
- Page 16 Please note that resizing your browser window either vertically or horizon- tally will change the appearance of Easy Setup pages, hence it’s possible that the Easy Setup pages on your PC screen will appear to be slightly dif- ferent from those in this guide. The first Easy Setup page requests WAN information.
- Page 17 If you selected PPP as your WAN protocol, a page requesting a User Name and Password will appear. You also need to select networking options. If your NSP has not suggested specific parameters and you’re not sure what’s appropriate, choose IP routing with NAT enabled. Click on Next to continue.
- Page 18 If you selected RFC 1483 as your WAN protocol, you need to select net- working options. If your NSP has not suggested specific parameters and you’re not sure what’s appropriate, choose IP routing, Obtain configura- tion automatically from WAN, and NAT enabled. Click on Next to con- tinue.
- Page 19 If you selected RFC 1483 MER as your WAN protocol, you need to select networking options. If your NSP has not suggested specific parameters and you’re not sure what’s appropriate, choose IP routing, Obtain config- uration automatically from WAN, and NAT enabled. Click on Next to continue.
- Page 20 You may enable DHCP on the next page that appears. You must also spec- ify if DNS information should be obtained automatically or configured manually. If manually configuring, you need to enter at least 1 DNS IP address. Click Next to continue.
- Page 21 On the LAN page you must enter the LAN IP address and subnet mask. IPX configuration is another option. Click Save to return to the main Easy Setup window.
- Page 22 It is strongly recommended that you change the default Password before exiting this program. You must enter it twice. If you incorrectly enter one word, a message will appear requesting that you reenter the password. You must click Reboot Router on the Router Information page for the changes to take effect.

Page 23: Step 5. Verify Network Service Provider Connection
STEP 5. Verify NSP Connection If you have connected all the cables properly and entered appropriate val- ues in Easy Setup, the router’s Link LED should appear solid green now. To verify that your DSL connection has been established, enter a web site address in the URL bar and press Enter. -
Page 24: Router Faqs
Router FAQs Which cable do I use to connect a new LAN device to the router? If you are directly connecting your PC to the router’s built-in Ethernet hub, then use the straight-through (red label) cable. If you are connecting your router to another hub, then use the crossover (yellow label) cable, unless the LAN hub has a built-in crossover or uplink port, in which case you should use the straight-through (red label) cable. - Page 25 What kind of security options do I have? NAT (Network Address Translation) with “IP masquerading” can provide a level of “security by obscurity” that is acceptable to many users. It can block incoming connections to LAN workstations by hiding them behind the router’s single IP address.
- Page 26 What is MER? MER (MAC Encapsulated Routing) allows your router to route on the LAN side and bridge on the WAN side. MER is only needed when your NSP doesn’t support routing. MER adds NAT functionality, providing greater security and more IP addresses than your NSP provided for your LAN workstations.

Page 27: Glossary
Glossary This glossary covers some of the networking terms that you are likely to encounter while learning about your high-speed ADSL connection. You may also want to consult one of the commercially available telecom dictionaries that provide greater information. If you have technical support questions and can’t find the answers in this glossary or another section of the Quick Start Guide, please check the CLI reference manual. - Page 28 backbone - A backbone describes a high bandwidth cable to which multiple networks are connected in order to minimize traffic between them. bandwidth - Bandwidth is the capacity to handle simultaneous data transmissions -- the greater the bandwidth, the more information that can be sent in a given amount of time.
- Page 29 DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol allocates IP addresses automatically to any DHCP client, that is, any device on your LAN requesting one. It eliminates the need for manual configuration of each device. Your router can also act as a DHCP client to collect network-addressing information from a DHCP server at another site for your LAN.
- Page 30 filter - Generally this is a process or device that screens network traffic for characteristics such as source address, destination address, or protocol, and determines whether to forward or block traffic based on the criteria that you have programmed. firewall - This IP filtering security software can render parts of the LAN inaccessible and invisible to the public.
- Page 31 identity as well as the integrity of data, encryption (ESP) to protect the privacy of data, and access control through key exchange (IKE). IPX - Internetwork Packet Exchange is a NetWare (Layer 3) protocol used for transferring data from servers to workstations. IPX is similar to IP. L2TP - Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol supports the creation of a VPN over the Internet.
- Page 32 metric - A metric is an algorithm used by routers to determine the best path for sending packets to a remote destination. NAT - Network Address Translation allows multiple workstations on your LAN to share a single high-speed Internet connection. All outgoing traffic appears to originate from the router’s IP address.
- Page 33 packet - It is the standard unit of data sent across networks. It contains a header with control information and raw user data sometimes called a “payload”. ping - Packet INternet Grouper is an Internet program used to determine whether a specific address is accessible.
- Page 34 RFC 1483 - RFC 1483 SubNetwork Access Protocol (SNAP) is a standard method for encapsulating multiprotocol data into frames for ATM (OSI Layer 5) networks. It is one of many RFC “link protocols” that define how different devices communicate with each other across networks and assure “interoperability”. RIP - Routing Information Protocol helps keep routing tables current so that IP traffic passes efficiently from source to destination.
- Page 35 stack - A stack is a set of related communications protocols that operate together to facilitate communication at some or all of the 7 layers of a standard network. TCP/IP is one example of a protocol stack. subnet mask - This 32-bit address mask is required in IP routing and is usually supplied by your NSP.
- Page 36 twisted pair - This refers to a transmission medium consisting of two insulated copper wires arranged in a regular spiral pattern. The wires can be shielded or unshielded. Twisted pair is common in telephony applications and is increasingly common in data networks. UNIX - UNIX is an operating system that was developed in 1969 at Bell Laboratories.
