About This Guide:

This Guide takes you through the basic steps necessary to install and configure

your OfficeConnect Cable/DSL Router, and establish a connection from your

is simply referred to as the Router.

Your package contains:

●

One power adapter for use with the Router

●

Four rubber feet

One Ethernet cable

●

One CD-ROM containing the Router Discovery program and the User Guide

System Requirements

Before starting, you must ensure the following:

●

You already have a cable or DSL broadband connection to the Internet, with

a suitable modem, and that this connection works properly. The modem

must have an Ethernet port for connection to your Router.

●

You have a computer that has an Ethernet connection available and is

already correctly configured for communication with the Internet. Your

computer must be able to connect to the Internet via the modem, and must

have a Web browser installed.

●

There are no other DHCP server devices on your local network that are

responsible for allocating IP addresses to your computers and other network-

connected devices. Your Router will now perform this function by default.

If one or more of these conditions are not met, refer to the comprehensive Router

User Guide provided on the accompanying CD-ROM for further guidance.
