Dynalink RTA1335 setup guide 3Connecting the router, IP Address menu

Connection of this router to computers is via Ethernet, independent of the Operating System. There is no driver to load.

This router comes with a built-in 4-port network switch. Up to 4 computers can be connected to the router directly. If you require connections for more computers, purchase another network hub and connect it to the router to provide for more connections. Only one Ethernet cable is provided. Extra cables and network hub can be purchased from your supplier.

3Connecting the router

1. Connect the DSL port of the router directly into your ADSL jackpoint (telephone wall socket) with the provided line cord. Do not connect through a filter, unless the filter has a designated MODEM port for this purpose.

2. Connect the Ethernet port of your computer to any one of the ETHERNET ports (1-4) on the router using the Ethernet cable provided.

3. Connect the provided AC/AC power adaptor to the Power jack of the router. Plug the adaptor into a mains power outlet. Switch on the router. In normal operation these lights shall be on: POWER, DSL, ETHERNET. Section 9 of this Guide explains how these indicator lights work.

4Getting computer ready for networking

You have two options. Following option 1 is easiest. This is the Windows default network setting.

OPTION 1 CONFIGURE COMPUTER TO GET IP ADDRESS

If your computer is already configured to obtain an IP address automatically (from a DHCP server), do nothing. By default the router is a DHCP server and will assign an IP to the computer automatically. Now go to Section 5 – Getting On-Line.

OPTION 2 MANUALLY ASSIGN IP ADDRESS TO COMPUTER

The router’s default address is 192.168.1.1. If you prefer to assign an IP address manually, the default can be changed from the router’s Advanced > Local Network

>IP Address menu.

If you are unsure of your computer’s network setting, refer to Chapter 2 – System Requirement & Installation of the User’s Manual. Pages 5-15 contain information on Setting TCP/IP for different versions of Windows. If you choose to follow option (1) above, consult the section Configure PC to get IP address from DHCP on pages 16-18.

After configuring your computer, go to Section 5 – Getting On-line.
