Choose from your connection options:
1. Ethernet (Preferred option for standalone and multiple computers. This
method of connection is Operating System independent.)
Connect the Ethernet port of the router directly to the Ethernet port of your
computer. One Ethernet cable is provided. For Internet sharing, a network
hub and extra Ethernet cables are required. Connect the Ethernet port of the
router to any of the ports available on the hub. Next, connect each of the
computers to the network hub. Extra cables and network hub can be purchased
from your supplier.
2. USB (For standalone Windows 98/ME/2000/XP computers only)
If your computer does not have an Ethernet port you may choose this option.
You must then install a driver to operate the router. The drivers are found on
this CD. To install a driver into Windows, go to the previous menu ADSL Modem
Router (RTA1320) and click the Modem Drivers button.
Connecting 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 the ETHERNET port on the
router using the Ethernet cable provided. If you choose to connect via the
USB port, there is no need to use the Ethernet cable. Do not plug in the USB
cable yet. During driver installation, you will be advised to do so.
3. Connect the provided AC/AC power adaptor to the PWR jack of the router.
Plug the adaptor into a mains power outlet. Switch on the router. In normal
operation these lights shall be on: PWR, DSL, Ethernet. Section 9 of this Guide
explains how these indicator lights work.
Getting computer ready for networking
The description below assumes you are connecting the router via Ethernet. If
you are connecting the router via USB, skip this section and refer to Chapter 2
- USB Driver Installation on page 4 of the User’s Manual on CD.
You have two options. Following option 1 is easiest. This is the Windows default
network setting.
