Introduction

This guide has been written to help you get your AT-AR440S ADSL router up and running as quickly

as possible. It describes a basic Internet access and Firewall protection configuration, and references

other advanced solutions.

This guide complements the other documentation available for the AT-AR400 router series.

For example:

•The AR400 Series Router Quick Install Guide

•The AR400 Series Router Documentation and Tools CD-ROM, which includes the complete

AR400 Series Document Set and utilities

Gathering your connection information

Gather the information you require to configure the ADSL connection. There are several

configuration parameters whose values you must ascertain from the ADSL service provider. The

values for these parameters will depend on the particular implementation of ADSL being used by

your network provider.

The two Web pages reproduced below, show the ADSL parameter information provided on the

Web sites of two different service providers in two different countries:

•izR Solutions, an English ISP and telecommunications provider

•xtra, an ISP owned by Telecom, New Zealand's largest Telco

Determining your ADSL connection parameters

The table below is provided for you to fill in the connection parameters for your ADSL Service

Provider and ISP. Typically, the provider will specify the parameters on the printed material that they

give you when you sign up for their service. But if you have not been given any such material, you

should contact your providers technical support help desks or Websites to determine their

requirements.

Table 1: ADSL technical requirements

Note: Your router also has the typical connection settings for different countries pre-defined.

You can try setting the country using the router's Graphical User Interface (GUI), and then

verify if the ATM settings are correct for your service provider. If not, then the connection

settings can still be altered through the GUI. Details on using the GUI are shown later in this

document.

Introduction

AR400 Series routers can be configured via the Command Line Interface (CLI) or Graphical User

Interface (GUI). We recommend starting to configure the router using the GUI. You can then use

the CLI if necessary to complete your configuration.

This section describes how to access the GUI via a switch VLAN port on the router. The GUI

requires a PC and Web browser. The minimum requirements for supported browsers are Internet

Explorer version 5.0 or later, or Netscape 6.2.2 or later, with Java Script enabled.

Browser pop-ups

If you are using a toolbar or plug-in on your browser to block pop-ups, disable it while using the

GUI. The GUI displays detailed configuration options and information in pop-up windows, so make

sure site pop-ups are allowed.

Obtaining an IP address

If another device on your network already uses the router's default IP address, 192.168.1.1, do not

connect your router to the network until you have changed the IP address by using the command

line.

Connect your LAN hub or PC to a VLAN port on the AR440S. The DHCP server has been pre-

enabled on your router, so you can let it allocate an IP address to your PC automatically. By default

most PC operating systems are set such that the network card obtains the IP address automatically.

If you cannot access the GUI, see the troubleshooting section in the document, How to configure

some advanced features on your AT-AR440S ADSL router.

This document is located at:

http://www.alliedtelesyn.co.nz/solutions/examples/pdf/c613-16041-00-A.pdf

Once your PC has obtained an IP address, you can connect to your router's GUI at 192.168.1.1 by

using your Web browser, for example, Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.

By-passing or disabling any Web proxy settings

To access this local GUI server, you might need to define a proxy bypass setting or temporarily

disable any Web proxy settings you may have defined in your Web browser.

To do this with Internet Explorer, click on:

To o l s >Internet Options >Connections >LAN Settings

The Local Area Network window will open.

You can either ensure "bypass proxy server for local addresses" is set, or temporarily remove the

proxy definitions you have. These are found in two possible areas:

•the "automatic configuration" fields, or

•the manual "proxy sever" fields.

If you find that your proxy definitions are locked down, as shown in the picture above, you probably

need to speak to your company's IS department.

Note: Remember to re-enable your normal proxy settings afterwards, to restore normal

Internet browsing

Now, let’s get started.

Set up your AT-AR440S ADSL Router for Typical Network Scenarios 6

Getting started

1. Open your Web browser and type in the router’s address.

2. Enter a username and password.

When you have accessed 192.168.1.1, you will be prompted for a username and password for

logging into the router.

Here is the factory default username and password for management and configuration access, for

Telnet, GUI, and console port access:

User Name: manager

Password: friend

3. Click OK

For security reasons you need to change your username and password to something unique to you

during your first session. The password can be redefined using the GUI’s Management tools:

Set up your AT-AR440S ADSL Router for Typical Network Scenarios 7

Changing your password

In the router’s GUI menu select:

1. Management > Users

2. In the right hand pane, select the Users radio button, then click Modify

3. Make your modifications and click Apply.

Using the GUI to configure the router

On first use of the GUI only, you will be taken directly to the Quick Start ADSL setup page.

Here you can quickly configure your ADSL basics. You should start by selecting your country

setting. This will automatically change the connection protocol and ATM profile for your country's

pre-configured default. Some countries offer many different connection types, so you still need to

check to see if these settings are correct for your ADSL Provider’s requirements. Refer to the

details you collected in Table 1 on page 3.

Remember - If you are using a toolbar or plug-in on your browser to block pop-ups, disable

it while using the GUI. The GUI displays detailed configuration options and information in

pop-up windows.

AT M s e t t i n g s

If the ATM settings are not correct for your ADSL Provider, you can correct them using the VPI,

VCI and Encapsulation fields at the bottom of the page.

In our example below, you can see the default VPI and Encapsulation settings for the UK are zero

and 38 respectively.

If applicable you should also add your PPP username and password, or your static IP address. You

will notice that when selecting PPPoA or PPPoE that the IP address fields are "greyed out", because

dynamic allocation is assumed. If you still need static IP addresses, this can be accessed via the GUI’s

Configuration > IP menu.

Ensure Enable Firewall is ticked as this will provide a stateful inspection firewall, and NAT

solution.

Set up your AT-AR440S ADSL Router for Typical Network Scenarios 10

After completion click the Apply button. Then the following summary screen will be displayed.

At this point, the router should be able to connect successfully to your ISP, using the basic

configuration items you defined plus the default firewall and NAT configuration. If you need to alter

your ADSL configuration in the future, you can do so by accessing the page invoked from clicking

on: Configuration>Layer 2>ADSL.

Testing basic Internet connectivity

To test basic Internet connectivity you should take the following steps:

1. Go to the GUI’s Diagnostics Command Line.

2. Enter ‘show adsl=0’ - it should indicate connected.

3. Enter ‘show ppp’ (for PPPoA or PPPoE) - it should indicate PPP0 is open.

4. Enter ‘show ip interface’ (for PPPoA or PPPoE) - you should see an IP address has been

automatically assigned to the PPP.

5. Connect a PC to a VLAN port on your AR440 Series router. Provided the PC is configured for

automatic address assignment (DHCP Client), then an address will be allocated automatically

from the router when you connect. DNS details are also automatically assigned - referring to

your router's DNS Relay facility. You can check this from the command window, Start > Run >

cmd, by entering this command:

ipconfig /all (Win2K and XP)

winipcfg (Win98 and ME)

6. Surf to an Internet address, using your Internet browser, for example, Internet Explorer.

7. If you find this is not working. Refer to the troubleshooting section on the document “How to

configure some advanced features on your AT-AR440S ADSL router”.
