Cha pter 2: System Requirement and Ins tallation System Requirement
To access the IAD via Ethernet, 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 IAD 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 enabled by default, the
DHCP clients should be able to access the IAD, or the host PC should be assigned
an IP address first for initial configuration.
You also can manage the IAD through a web browser-based manager: ADSL
ROUTER CONTROL PANEL. The IAD 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).
Choosing a place for the IAD
n Place the IAD close to ADSL wall outlet and power outlet for the cable to
reach it easily.
o Avoid placing the device in places where people may walk on the cables. Also
keep it away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
p Place the device on a flat and stable stand.
