Port LEDs (WAN) Port LED (WAN) indicators locate on the front panel for showing the operating status of WAN port.

Act/Link LED The LED stays light (green) means the port has good linkage to its associated devices. The LED will blink green when there is traffic transverse the port. Port LEDs (LAN) Port LEDs (LAN) indicators locate on the front panel for showing the operating status of 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet switching ports.

Act/Link LED Every port has a Act/Link LED. Steady green (link state) indicates that the port has good linkage to its associated devices. Flashing green indicates that the port is receiving or transmitting data between its associated devices. The Rear Panel Power Connection Plug the circle end of the power adapter firmly into the rear panel of the Wireless Router, and the other end put into an electric service outlet then the system is ready. Placement (Optional) There are three ways to place the Router. The first way is to place the Router horizontally on a surface. The second way is to attach the router to the wall. The third way is to stand the Router vertically on a surface. These options are explained in further detail below.

1. The Router has one plastic stand that can be divided into two parts.

2. Combine one part of stand with the side of router.

3. Do the same with the second part.

Wall-mount option Before attach this router on the wall, you have to finish the desktop option steps first.

Common configurations for WAN interface There are some settings are able to be configured on each WAN access types: Enable Web Server Access on WAN from port Enable IPsec pass through on VPN connection Enable PPTP pass through on VPN connection Enable L2TP pass through on VPN connection Clone MAC Address To Enable the user to access this Router through Internet, Enter the specific IP and the port number Mark the check box to enable IPsec pass through on VPN connection and clear the checkbox to disable. Mark the check box to enable PPTP pass through on VPN connection and clear the checkbox to disable. Mark the check box to enable L2TP pass through on VPN connection and clear the checkbox to disable. When ISP use MAC address authentication (with DHCP), then the MAC address of the Ethernet card attached to your Cable modem must be registered with the ISP before connecting to the WAN (Internet). If the Ethernet card is changed, the new MAC address must be registered with the ISP. MAC cloning feature allows the MAC address reported by WAN side network interface card to be set to the MAC address already registered with the ISP eliminating the need to register the new MAC address with the ISP. This feature does not change the actual MAC address on the NIC, but instead changes the MAC address reported by Wireless Router to client requests. To Change the MAC address, enter it in the text box.
