Chapter 4. Quick Installation Guide

After connecting the TL-R402M router into your network, you should configure it. This chapter describes how to configure the basic functions of your TL-R402M Cable/DSL Router. These procedures only take you a few minutes. You can access the Internet via the router immediately after it has been successfully configured.

4.1 TCP/IP configuration

The default IP address of the TL-R402M Cable/DSL Router is 192.168.1.1, and the default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. These values can be seen from the LAN, and can be changed as your desire. As an example, we use the default values for description in this guide.

Connect the local PCs to the LAN ports on the router. There are then two means to configure the IP address for your PCs.

¾Configure the IP address manually (Recommended)

1)Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC(s).

2)Configure the network parameters. The IP address is 192.168.1.xxx ("xxx" is from 2 to 254), Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0, and Gateway is 192.168.1.1 (The router's default IP address)

¾Obtain an IP address automatically

1)Set up the TCP/IP Protocol in "Obtain an IP address automatically" mode on your PC(s).

2)Power off the router and PC(s). Then turn on the router, and restart the PC(s). The built-in DHCP server will assign IP addresses for the PC(s).

Note:

If you need instructions as to how to do this, please refer to Appendix B: "Configuring the PCs." Now, you can run the Ping command in the command prompt to verify the network connection between your PC(s) and the router. The following example is in Windows 2000.

Open a command prompt, and type ping 192.168.1.1, and then press Enter.

Figure 4-1 Successful result of Ping command

If the result displayed is similar to what is shown in Figure 4-1,the connection between your PC and the router has been established.
