Congratulations on choosing the 3Com®OfﬁceConnect®Remote

612 ADSL Router, your ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber

Line) broadband access solution.

The OfﬁceConnect Remote 612 ADSL Router allows one or more

networked computers to connect to the Internet or a remote LAN

(Local Area Network). Once connected, local users can access the

Internet over 100 times faster than using a dial-up connection.

Setting up the OfﬁceConnect Remote 612 ADSL Router is a three-

step process:

1) Unpacking and positioning the OfﬁceConnect Remote 612

ADSL Router

2) Running the Installation Procedure

3) Conﬁguring the OfﬁceConnect Remote 612 ADSL Router

This guide describes how to install and conﬁgure the

OfﬁceConnect Remote 612 ADSL Router for shared Internet

access. To set up your OfﬁceConnect Remote 612 ADSL Router,

you must have the following:

•An Internet Service Provider (ISP) account.

•ADSL Service already installed at your location, with an

available ADSL wall jack.

•A computer (PC) with a CD-ROM drive, Ethernet connectivity

and TCP/IP software. (Note: TCP/IP is automatically included

with Windows 2000, ME, 98, 95, and NT.)

•A Web Browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer (4.0 or

later) or Netscape Navigator (4.0 or later), installed on your

computer.

Introduction

Before You

Begin

Package

Contents

DHCP: (Dynamic Host

Configuration Protocol):

Dynamic IP addressing is the

type of addressing scheme

most often used by Internet

Service Providers (ISPs), and

is also the type that is preva-

lent in many existing

corporate networks.

The OfficeConnect Remote

612 ADSL Router, which can

act as a DHCP server, is opti-

mized for use with dynamic,

rather than static, IP address-

ing.

For most users, it is most

likely that your computer or

computers are already set up

for dynamic IP addressing. By

default, the router assigns IP

addresses dynamically to

each attached computer.

Before you run the installation procedure, each computer must be

properly set up with TCP/IP and optimized for use with dynamic

IP addressing.

Checking for Dynamic or Static IP Addressing

•From the Start Menu, select Settings, and then Control Panel.

Windows 95, 98 or NT:

Double-click the Network icon. From the Conﬁguration tab of

the Network window, select TCP/IP for the Ethernet Network

Interface Card (NIC) that will be associated with your router.

For Windows NT: Click the Protocols tab on the Network win-

dow, and then select TCP/IP. Click Properties. Click the IP

Address tab on the TCP/IP Properties window.

Windows 2000:

Double-click the Network and Dial-up Connections icon, then

double-click the Local Area Connection icon. Click Properties

on the Local Area Connection Status window and then select

Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) from the list of components shown

on the General tab of the Local Area Connection Properties win-

dow. Click the General tab on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

Properties window.

•If Obtain an IP address automatically (Windows 95, 98, 2000) or

Obtain an IP address from a DHCP server (Windows NT) is

selected, your computer has a dynamic IP address.

•If Specify an IP address is selected, your computer has a static

IP address.

•Click Cancel to exit the window, and then click Cancel again on

the remaining windows until you get back to the Control Panel.

When positioning your OfﬁceConnect Remote 612 ADSL Router,

make sure of the following:

•Unit is out of direct sunlight and away from sources of heat.

•Cabling is away from power lines, ﬂuorescent lighting ﬁxtures,

and sources of electrical noise such as radios, transmitters, and

ampliﬁers.

•Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the unit.

•Air ﬂow around the unit and through the vents in the side and

back of the case is not restricted. A minimum of 1 in. (2.54 cm)

clearance is recommended.
