Billion 800VGT Router

Chapter 3: Basic Installation

The router can be configured with your web browser. A web browser is included as a standard application in the following operating systems: Linux, Mac OS, Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/Me, etc. The product provides an easy and user-friendly interface for configuration.

Please check your Computer’s network components. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network adapter must be installed. If not, please refer to your operating system manuals.

You can connect your computer to the router either through an external hub/switch or directly. However, please ensure that your computer has a properly installed Ethernet interface prior to connecting it to the router. You ought to configure your Computers to obtain an IP address through a DHCP server or you can set them up with a fixed IP address that must be in the same subnet as the router. The default IP address of the router is 10.0.0.2 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (i.e. any attached Computer must be in the same subnet, and have an IP address in the range of 10.0.0.1 to10.0.0.254). The best and easiest way is to configure the PC to get an IP address automatically from the router using DHCP. If you encounter any problem accessing the router’s web interface it may also be advisable to temporarily remove any kind of software firewall on your Computer’s as they can cause problems accessing the 10.0.0.2 IP address of the router. Users should always make their own decisions on how to best protect their network.

Please follow the steps below for your PC’s network environment installation.

Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with or through the router. To configure other types of workstations, please consult the manufacturer’s documentation.
