  • Page 7: Chapter 1 Introduction

    Chapter 1 Introduction The AR-5389 is a wireless ADSL2+ router with an uplink rate of up to 1 Mbps and downlink rate of up to 24 Mbps. It provides one RJ11 telephone interface, four RJ45 Ethernet interfaces, and 802.11b/g/n interface. It is an ideal broadband CPE solution for both home users who wish to share high-speed Internet access and small offices that wish to do business on the Internet.

  • Page 8: Chapter 2 Installation

    Chapter 2 Installation 2.1 Hardware Setup Follow the instructions below to complete the hardware setup. BACK PANEL The figure below shows the back panel of the device. Connect to the DSL port with the DSL RJ11 cable. LAN (Ethernet) Ports You can connect the router to up to four LAN devices using RJ45 cables.
  • Page 9 2.2 Front Panel for details). NOTE: If pressed down for more than 60 seconds, the AR-5389 will go into a firmware update state (CFE boot mode). The firmware can then be updated using an Internet browser pointed to the default IP address.

  • Page 10: Front Panel

    2.2 Front Panel The front panel LED indicators are shown below and explained in the following table. This information can be used to check the status of the device and its connections. Color Mode Function The device is powered up. Green The device is powered down.
  • Page 11 Note: A malfunction is any error of internal sequence or state that will prevent the device from connecting to the DSLAM or passing customer data. This may be identified at various times such after power on or during operation through the use of self testing or in operations which result in a unit state that is not expected or should not occur.

  • Page 12: Chapter 3 Web User Interface

    3.2 IP Configuration DHCP MODE When the AR-5389 powers up, the onboard DHCP server will switch on. Basically, the DHCP server issues and reserves IP addresses for LAN devices, such as your PC. To obtain an IP address from the DCHP server, follow the steps provided below.
  • Page 13 STEP 4: Click OK to submit these settings. If you experience difficulty with DHCP mode, you can try static IP mode instead.
  • Page 14 STATIC IP MODE In static IP mode, you assign IP settings to your PC manually. Follow these steps to configure your PC IP address to use subnet 192.168.1.x. NOTE: The following procedure assumes you are running Windows XP. However, the general steps involved are similar for most operating systems (OS).
