Chapter 3: Basic configuration

3 Basic configuration

The basic configuration can be performed on a step-by-step basis using a convenient setup wizard to guide you through the setup process and prompt you for the required information.

First, this chapter will tell you which information is required for the basic con- figuration. Use this section to assemble the information you will need before you launch the wizard.

Next, enter the data in the setup wizard. Launching the wizard and the proc- ess itself are described step by step — with separate sections for LANconfig and WEBconfig. Thanks to the information that you have collected in advance, the basic configuration is quick and effortless.

At the end of this chapter we will show you the settings that are needed for the LAN's workstations to ensure trouble-free access to the router.

3.1Which information is necessary?

The basic configuration wizard will take care of the basic TCP/IP configuration of the router and protect the device with a configuration password. The fol- lowing descriptions of the information required by the wizard are grouped in these configuration sections:

TCP/IP settings

protection of the configuration information related to the Wireless LAN information on DSL connection configuring connect charge protection security settings

3.1.1TCP/IP settings

The TCP/IP configuration can be realized in two ways: either as a fully auto- matic configuration or manually. No user input is required for the fully auto- matic TCP/IP configuration. All parameters are set automatically by the setup wizard. During manual TCP/IP configuration, the wizard will prompt you for the usual TCP/IP parameters: IP address, netmask etc. (more on these topics later).
