Chapter 2 - Installation
Additional Software
It may be necessary to install software on your computer that enables the computer to access the Internet. Additional software must be installed if you are using the
device as a simple bridge. For a bridged connection, the information needed to make and maintain the Internet connection is stored on another computer or gateway
device, not in the Router itself.
If your ADSL service is delivered through a PPPoE or PPPoA connection, the information needed to establish and maintain the Internet connection can be stored
in the Router. In this case, it is not necessary to install software on your computer. It may however be necessary to change some settings in the device, including
account information used to identify and verify the connection.
All connections to the Internet require a unique global IP address. For bridged connections, the global IP settings must reside in a TCP/IP enabled device on the LAN
side of the bridge, such as a PC, a server, a gateway device, such as a router, or similar rewall hardware. The IP address can be assigned in a number of ways.
Your network service provider will give you instructions about any additional connection software or NIC conguration that may be required.
Wireless LAN
Computers using the wireless network can access the Internet using the embedded wireless access point. Wireless workstations must have an 802.1n, 802.1g, or
802.1b wireless network card installed to use the Router. In addition, the workstation must be congured to operate on the same channel and SSID as the Router. If
wireless security is used, the wireless workstations must be properly congured for the security settings used.
