The router's back panel is divided into three sections, LAN, WAN and Reset: BR-6104K BR-6104KP Figure 1.0 4 1) Local Area Network (LAN) The Broadband router's 4 LAN ports are where you connect your LAN's PCs, printer servers, hubs and switches etc. 2) Wide Area Network (WAN) The WAN port is the segment connected to your xDSL or Cable modem and is linked to the Internet. 3) Reset The Reset button allows you to do one of two things. 1) If problems occur with your router, press the router's reset button with a pencil tip (for less than 4 seconds) and the router will re-boot itself, keeping your original configurations. If problems persist or you experience extreme problems or you forgot your password, press the reset button for longer than 4 seconds and the router will reset itself to the factory default settings (warning: your original configurations will be replaced with the factory default settings) 2) Front Panel On the router's front panel there are LED lights that inform you of the router's current status. Below is an explanation of each LED and its description.

Figure 1.2 6 Getting started This is a step-by-step instruction on how to start using the router and get connected to the Internet. 1) Setup your network as shown in the setup diagram above (fig 1.2). 2) You then need to set your LAN PC clients so that it can obtain an IP address automatically. All LAN clients require an IP address. Just like an address, it allows LAN clients to find one another. (If you have already configured your PC to obtain an IP automatically then proceed to step 3, page 11) Configure your PC to obtain an IP address automatically By default the broadband router's DHCP is on, this means that you can obtain an IP address automatically once you've configured your PC to obtain an IP address automatically. This section will show you how to configure your PC's so that it can obtain an IP address automatically for either Windows 95/98/Me, 2000 or NT operating systems. For other operating systems (Macintosh, Sun, etc.), follow the manufacturer's instructions. The following is a step-by-step illustration on how to configure your PC to obtain an IP address automatically for 2a) Windows 95/98/Me, 2b) Windows XP, 2c) Windows 2000 and 2d) Windows NT. 2a) Windows 95/98/Me 1: Click the Start button and select Settings, then click Control Panel.
