Quick installation

Hardware connection

Before you begin, turn the power off for all devices.

These include your computer(s), your LAN hub/switch (if

applicable), and the ASUS SL1200.

Step 1: Connect an ADSL or a cable modem

To connect the router

Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the port labeled WAN on the

rear panel of the device. Connect the other end to the Ethernet port on the

ADSL or cable modem.

Figure 1. Overview of Hardware Connections

ASUS SL1200

Step 2: Connect computers or a LAN

If your LAN has four or less than four computers, you can use an Ethernet

cable to connect computers directly to the built-in switch on the device.

You should attach one end of the Ethernet cable to any of the port labeled

LAN1 – LAN4 on the rear panel of the device and connect the other end to

the Ethernet port of a computer.

If your LAN has more than four computers, you can attach one end of an

Ethernet cable to a hub or a switch, such as an uplink port (refer to the hub

or switch documentations for instructions), and the other to the Ethernet

switch port (labeled LAN1 – LAN4) on the router.

You can use either a crossover or a straight-through

Ethernet cable to connect the built-in switch and computers,

hubs or switches.

Step 3: Attach the power adapter

Connect the power adapter to the POWER connector on the back of the

device and plug the adapter to a wall outlet or a power strip.

Step 4: Turning on the ASUS SL1200

After plugging in, the router will automatically turn on. Turn on your ADSL

or cable modem, your computer(s), and any LAN devices such as hubs or

switches.

LED Indicators

LED Description

POWER Solid green to indicate that the router is turned on. If this light is

not on, check if the power adapter is attached to the router and if

it is plugged into a power source.

LAN1 – LAN4 Solid green to indicate that the router can communicate with

your LAN or flashing when the router is sending or receiving

data from your LAN device(s).

WAN Solid green to indicate that the router has successfully estab-

lished a connection with your ISP or ashing when the device is

sending or receiving data from the Internet.

Check the LED indicators to determine if the hardware

setup is working properly. Refer to the table below.

Conguring Your Computers

This section provides instructions for conguring the Internet settings on

your computers to work with the router.

Before you begin

By default, the ASUS SL1200 automatically assigns all required Internet

settings to your PCs. You only need to configure the PCs to accept the

information when it is assigned.

In some cases, you may want to congure network settings

manually to some or all of your computers rather than allow

the Internet Security Router to do so. See Assigning static

IP addresses to your PCs on page 10 for instructions.

If you have connected your PC via Ethernet to the router, follow the

instructions that correspond to the operating system installed on your PC.

Assigning static IP addresses to your PCs

In some cases, you may want to assign IP addresses to some or all of

your PCs directly (often called “statically”), rather than allowing the ASUS

SL1200 to assign them. This option may be desirable (but not required) if:

• You have obtained one or more public IP addresses that you want

to always associate with specic computers (for example, if you are

using a computer as a public web server).

• You maintain different subnets on your LAN.

However, during the rst time conguration of your router, you must

assign an IP address in the 192.168.1.0 network for your PC, such

as 192.168.1.2. This is in order to establish connection between

the router and your PC as the default LAN IP on the router is pre-

congured as 192.168.1.1. Enter 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask

and 192.168.1.1 for the default gateway. These settings may be

changed later to reect your true network environment.

On each PC to which you want to assign static information, follow the

instructions on pages 6 to 9 relating only to checking for and installing

the IP protocol. Once it is installed, continue to follow the instructions

for displaying each of the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) properties.

Instead of enabling dynamic assignment of the IP addresses for the

computer, DNS server, and default gateway, click the radio buttons

that enable you to enter the information manually.

Your PCs must have IP addresses that place them in the

same subnet as the Internet Security Router’s LAN port. If

you want to manually assign IP information to all your LAN

PCs, you can follow the instructions in Conguring the

LAN IP Address.

Conguring the LAN IP Address

To change the default LAN IP address

1. Log into the Configuration Manager as administrator, and then click

LAN -> IP. The IP Address conguration page is displayed as shown in

Figure 2.
