Gather Configuration Information for

Your Working Connection to the Internet

Before installing the HR314 router, you

should have an external DSL or cable

modem with an Ethernet port set up and

working with one computer. You’ll be

installing the router between the modem

and the computer.

For each computer that you want to con-

nect to the router, you must have

• An available RJ-45 Ethernet port (or

adapter) — either built-in or from a

network interface card (NIC) installed

in the computer OR

an 802.11a-compliant wireless adapter.

• TCP/IP installed.

• If your computer is a Windows®

computer, it must have the Client

for Microsoft®Networks software installed.

Note: Please see the Reference Manual on the CD if you need help installing

TCP/IP software or the Client for Microsoft Networks software on any Windows

computer that hasn’t been networked previously.

• A Category 5 (Cat 5) Ethernet patch cable

Note: There is one cable in the box with the router.

DSL modem

Note: If you have a cable modem,

you will have a cable connection

between the modem and your

cable outlet.

Connection information

Later in the setup process you’ll need to configure the router to work with your network. A

Setup Wizard is available to help you through this procedure. You can configure the router

yourself using information that you can get from your computer or your ISP about your

current Internet connection.

The next page includes blanks for you to fill in and refer to later. To get the needed

information from your computer:

• (Windows 98/Me) Open the Network control panel, select the TCP/IP entry, and

click Properties.

• (Windows 2000/XP) Open Local Area Network Connection and click Properties.

• (Macintosh®) Open the TCP/IP (or Network) control panel.

Your ISP should have provided you with a summary sheet of all the information needed to connect

your computer to the Internet. If you cannot locate the information, you’ll have to contact your ISP.

An ISP Guide is included with your router’s documentation, either as a printed card or on the

Resource CD. The ISP Guide contains specific configuration guidelines for connecting to

many popular ISPs.

Host and Domain Names

Some ISPs use a specific host or domain name—like jsmith or earthlink.net. If you haven’t

been given specific information about host or domain names then use the following examples

as a guide:

• If your main e-mail account with your ISP is aaa@yyy.com, then use aaa as your host

name. (Your ISP might call this your account name, user name, or system name.)

• If your ISP’s mail server is mail.xxx.yyy.com, then use xxx.yyy.com as the domain name.

Host name:_____________________________________

Domain name: __________________________________

If your ISP requires a login name and password (possibly because you have a PPPoE account),

fill in the following:

(may be your full e-mail address)

Password:______________________________________

Note: The login name could be called a user name or account name by your ISP.

The login name is case sensitive. You must type it exactly as given by your ISP. For

example, c_jones is a different login name than C_Jones or cjones.

Fixed (or static) IP address

If you have a static IP address through your ISP, fill in the following information:

IP address: _____._____._____._____

Subnet mask: _____._____._____._____

Gateway IP address:_____._____._____._____

DNS server address information

If you were given specific Domain Name System (DNS) server addresses, fill in the following:

DNS Server IP address(es): _____._____._____._____

_____._____._____._____

Install the Router

After unpacking the box and locating the configu-

ration information, you’re ready to install the

router.

1. Determine a suitable location for your router.

The operating distance or range of your

wireless connection can vary significantly

based on the physical placement of the wire-

less router. For best results, place your

router:

• near the center of the area in which your

PCs will operate,

• in an elevated location such as a high

shelf,

• away from potential sources of interfer-

ence, such as PCs, microwaves, and

cordless phones,

• away from large metal surfaces.

2. Locate the Ethernet cable currently going from the DSL or cable modem to the computer

that you use to access the Internet.

Note: You must use this cable to connect the DSL or cable modem to your router

since this may be a special cable even though it looks like other LAN cables.

3. Remove this cable from the computer and insert that end into the Internet port on the

rear panel of the router.

4. Use the Ethernet patch cable that came with the router to connect the computer to one of

the four numbered local Ethernet ports on the rear panel of the router.

5. Connect the power adapter’s cord into the back of the router and then plug the adapter

into a power source (such as a wall socket or power strip).

Note: If you want to connect other computers to the router, don’t connect them now.

Do that after you know that the modem/router setup works with one

computer.

Check the setup

• The Test light turns on for a few seconds and then goes off.

Note: If the Test light remains on for more than one minute, go to Troubleshooting

on page 13.

• The Wireless Link light should be lit.

• If your computer is on, the Local Link light should be on for the port number that your

computer is connected to.

Note: If the port connection is a 100 Mbps connection, the 100 light should be on.

If either the Power, Internet Link, or Local port Link light isn’t lit, go to Troubleshooting on

page 13.

Configure the Computer to Work with the

Router and Restart the Network

Next, make sure that the computer can interact with the router. To do this, configure the

TCP/IP settings on the computer and then restart the network. How you do this depends on

your computer.

Windows Operating System

Normally, you can leave the TCP/IP setup parameters at their factory default settings unless

you have a specific reason to change them. You should verify that the computer is set to ‘obtain

an IP address automatically’ in the Network control panel.

6. Click the IP Address tab.

7. Check that Obtain an IP Address Automatically is selected, select if not.

8. Click the Gateway tab.

9. Select and remove any IP Gateway addresses that are listed.

10. Click OK and click OK again to close the Network control panel.

11. Go to Restarting the Network on the next page.

2. Double-click Local Area Network Connection and

click Properties.

3. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties.

4. Select Obtain IP address automatically.

5. Click OK twice and click Close.

6. Go to Restarting the Network.

Windows 98/Me

Macintosh Operating System

Mac OS®8.6 or 9.x

1. Choose Control Panels >TCP/IP from the Apple

menu.

2. If not already selected, select Ethernet in the

Connect via list.

3. Select Using DHCP Server in the Configure list.

4. Click the close box.

5. If asked if you want to save this configuration,

click Save.

6. Go to Restarting the Network.

Mac OS X

1. Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.

2. Double-click Network.

3. If not already selected, select Built-in Ethernet in the Configure list.

5. Click Save.

6. Go to Restarting the Network.

Linux®or UNIX®Operating System

If you’re installing the router with a Linux-based or UNIX-based computer see your system

documentation for TCP/IP and networking setup information.

Restarting the Network

Once you’ve set up your computer to work with the router, you must reset the network for the

devices to be able to communicate correctly.

1. Turn off the DSL or cable modem, wait 15 seconds, and then turn it on again.

Note: If the modem doesn’t have an on/off switch, either pull the modem’s power

adapter out of the wall socket or power down the power strip.

2. If the router was powered down, power it up again and wait until the Test light turns off.

3. Restart the computer that is connected to the router.

Note: You may also configure the router from a wireless PC. In that case, set the

PC’s SSID to the router’s default SSID: Wireless and be sure to Disable WEP encryption. 9
