Installation

System Requirements

Before continuing with the installation of your Router please confirm that you comply with the minimum system requirements.

•Pentium® MMX 233MHz

•A CD-ROM Drive

•Ethernet card installed with TCP/IP Protocol

(required when connecting to the ETHERNET port of your ADSL Router)

•OS independent for Ethernet

•USB Port (required only if you are connecting to the USB Port of your ADSL Router, not applicable for NB6Plus4 or NB6Plus4Wn)

•Host Operating Systems support for USB:

•Windows® 98 Second Edition

•Windows® 2000

•Windows® Me

•Windows® XP

•Windows® Vista (recommended)

•Web Browser support:

•Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 (or later versions)

•Netscape® Navigator 4.0 (or later versions)

•Most popular browsers

To access the ADSL Router via Ethernet (Recommended), the host computer must meet the following requirements:

•Equipped with an Ethernet network interface.

•Have TCP/IP installed.

•Allow the client PC to obtain an IP address automatically or set a fixed IP address.

•With a web browser installed: Internet Explorer 5.x or later.

The ADSL Router is configured with the default IP address of 192.168.1.1 and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Considering that the DHCP server is Enable by default, the DHCP clients should be able to access the ADSL Router, or the host PC should be assigned an IP address first for initial configuration.

You also can manage the ADSL Router through a web browser-based manager: ADSL ROUTER CONTROL PANEL. The ADSL Router manager uses the HTTP protocol via a web browser to allow you to set up and manage the device.

To configure the device via web browser, at least one properly-configured PC must be connected to the network (either connected directly or through an external hub/switch to the LAN port of the device).
