Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the AT-AR256E 4-Port ADSL Router! The AT-AR256E

allows you to share your ADSL connection with multiple computers using just a

single device. With ADSL services, you can enjoy high speed broadband connection

to the Internet, online gaming and corporate network while making phone calls using

your existing telephone line.

The AT-AR256E can be connected to any computer with a Ethernet network card

installed. For multi-user sharing, you can connect your computers to the integral 4-

port switch of the ADSL router or expand your network with a Ethernet hub or

switch. The auto MDI/MDI-X feature automatically senses straight and crossover

cables. You can plug any type of network cable in without worrying about

connectivity problems like in the past with older switches.

This document assumes that you have already installed a Ethernet network card on

your computer.

•Intel Pentium®MMX 233MHz

•Ethernet network card with TCP/IP stack installed

•OS independent (support for Microsoft Windows®only)

•Microsoft®Internet ExplorerTM 4.0 or Netscape®Navigator 3.02 installed

Step 1: Connecting the ADSL Router to Your Computer

! Power OFF your computer and any other connected devices before connecting

to the ADSL Router!

1.1 Connecting To the Ethernet

Connect your computer to the ADSL router as illustrated below. The following

illustration shows the connection of a single computer.

(All the Ethernet ports on the ADSL router are auto MDI/MDI-X. Both straight and crossover Ethernet

cables can be used)

Not Sure How The Ethernet Port Looks Like?

The following are some tips to help you locate the Ethernet port on your

computer. Alternatively, you may refer to the documentation that comes

with your computer.

Locating the Ethernet Port on Your Computer

Most computers have labels describing the ports. For Ethernet port,

you will see ETHERNET,ETH or RJ-45 labeled near the port. If

your computer does not have such descriptions, try the following:

-Picture A gives the illustration of a Ethernet port. All Ethernet ports have 8

conductors on it. Do not be mistaken with the LINE port (Picture B) that

has only 6 conductors.

-The Ethernet port is slightly bigger than the LINE port.

connect the ADSL router to the telephone wall socket and a telephone set, carry out

Step 1.2(b).

(a) To Connect To the Telephone Wall Socket (ADSL)

(b) To Connect To the ADSL and Telephone Set

The POTS splitter is a device that allows you to connect both the ADSL router and

your telephone set to the same telephone wall socket. The device at the same time

helps eliminate background noise on the telephone line, ensuring the best possible

voice quality.

1.3 Checking Your Connections
