1. Passwords.

Some levels of access in the firmware are password protected. Below shows the default password for the current firmware

version:

name : adsl

password : adsl1234

2. Connecting to your network and line

Referring to the product manual check the small switch on back of unit. For the purposes of initial router setup, we would

advise that you connect the LAN card of your computer and the router to a hub with no other clients connected: This is to

stop any problems that you might experience with IP clashes from other computers. Connect the LAN cable from the

socket marked ‘10/100 Base T’ on the router to a ‘normal’ port on your hub (i.e. not an uplink or cross-over port). After

you have gone through initial setup of the router (see below) you can then reconnect any other devices to your hub (taking

care with possible IP clashes). If you want to connect the router directly to the LAN card of your PC then you will need to

use a LAN crossover cable.

Then refer to the product manual and connect to the ADSL line using RJ11/RJ11 cable as supplied by your provider (if

you don’t have a cable then we can supply one for you) from the socket marked ‘Line’ on the back of the router.

3. Basic Configuration

The easiest way to configure the router is using a standard web browser (e.g. Explorer). You first of all need to check the

TCP/IP settings of your PC. Please note that the author is assuming you are using MS Windows (Win9x); please make

appropriate allowances if using another operating system or platform such as Apple or Linux. Please note that if there is

some reason why you cannot do configuration via a web browser then you will have to use console management via the

WAN port of the router connected to the serial port of your PC and then run a terminal application. To do this you will

require a 9 pin serial lead. Details on how to do configuration via the console port are given in the product manual. If you

are using console management then the following sections concerning TCP setup can be skipped and you can go direct to

the section concerning configuration from the Main Menu.

3.1. Installing TCP protocol on your PC

If you already use TCP/IP on your PC for LAN use then this section can be skipped.

Goto Start/Settings/Control Panel/Network....

If you already see a line showing TCP/IP protocol such as the

example shown left then you can skip this section.

Otherwise click on Add, then select Protocol and then click on

Add.. again. Then on the Select Network Protocol screen select

Microsoft/TCP/IP...

Click on OK and Windows will then add the protocol to your

network setup. You now need to check the settings of the TCP/IP protocol to ensure they are compatible with the router

setup. Details on how to do this are shown in the next section.

3.2. Checking your TCP/IP settings

The default IP address of the EV router is 192.168.1.1 on subnet mask 255.255.255.0. In simple terms this means that, in

order for your PC to talk to the router, the IP address of your PC’s should be in the range from 192.168.1.2 to

192.168.1.254. If you already use TCP as your default network protocol and you don’t use IP settings in the required range

then you will have to either permanently alter the settings of your computers to suite or change the default address of the

router. If you wish to alter the settings of all your PC’s to suite then it is probably best to ask the person in charge of your

network setup to do this for you. If you want to alter the router then you will have to temporarily change the settings for

your PC.

Goto network settings (Start/Settings/Control Panel/Network).

Scroll down the list of network settings until you find the entry

showing TCP/IP. There may be several such entries (see example);

the one you need is the entry associated with your network card.

Select it and then click on Properties:

Click on ‘Specify an IP address’ and, on the first screen (IP Address) enter a suitable address (e.g. as above) and the

subnet mask.

Now click on OK and, from the main Network screen click on OK.

Windows will now install the revised network settings; please note that your original Windows installation CD might be

required. You should then reboot your PC.

3.3. Running your Browser

After checking your connections and TCP settings (see above) you

are ready to run your browser in order to configure the router.

Any browser can be used on any operating system: The

configuration screens are the same. If you are using Explorer then

click on your Explorer icon to start your browser.

When your browser starts up first check that it’s using your LAN

for internet access. To do this in Explorer goto Tools/Internet

Options/Connections.

Then check that the setting ‘Never dial a connection’ is selected.

No other changes need to be made. If you’re using Netscape then

no configuration is required for your browser to automatically use

your LAN.

Now enter the address of the router on the Address/URL line of

your browser. The browser should then load the startup page from

the router:

- 5 -

Click in ‘Enter’ to goto the configuration logon (or if you wait

a few seconds this should happen automatically anyway).

(Don’t worry that the example above shows the router address

as 192.168.0.9 – this is the address we’ve used on our

network. If you left the addresses as default in the router then yours will show as 192.168.1.1).

Now enter the default user name and password.

Click OK and you should then goto the main configuration menu.

3.4. The Main Menu

After successfully entering the user name and password the main configuration menu will be shown similar to below:

3.4.1. Set Ethernet i.e. configure IP settings

If you want to alter the default IP address settings of the router

(e.g. if you already use a different IP address range for your

LAN) then below shows the basic outlines to do this. Note that

this is the address that your router uses for your internal LAN.

WARNING If you alter the IP address settings of the router then

remember that the TCP settings of your PC may have to be

altered to suite (this will especially be true if you are using

Telnet or web interface to do the router configuration).

Click on the quick Setup Wizard and then Ethernet:

Enter your new settings and then click on submit. If you change the settings then you will now have to alter the TCP settings

on your PC and also change the address that you enter on your browser to go into configuration.

3.4.2. Set ADSL Channel

Click on the quick Setup Wizard and then Channel:

For BT

The first four settings below will, as far as I understand this, be the

same for ANY ISP on the BT network.

Service Type : PPPoA Routed.

Channel number : 1

VPI : 0

- 6 -

VCI : 38

For KC RapidTime

Service Type : PPPoA Routed.

Channel number : 1

VPI : 1

VCI : 50

Then click on Submit. The next screen is then for you to setup your user name and password:

Now enter your user name and password as provided by your

ISP.

Encapsulation Mode : ‘Auto’ when using BT

: ‘LLC’ for KC Rapidtime.

Get IP Address from : if you have a static IP from your

ISP then enter select ‘Customize’

and then enter your IP address in the

Wan IP Address box. However

normally your ISP will provide your

IP address so you should select

‘Service Provider’

PPP starting status : ‘UP’ i.e. start service automatically

DoD : ‘DISABLE’ Dial on Demand – basically this tells the router to disconnect from the ISP if you

don’t use the service for a specified time. Then the router will automatically reconnect when there is an demand for internet

access from you LAN. Normally you would want the service permanently up i.e. DoD disabled BUT if you are worried about

security and unsolicited access from the ISP then selecting DoD means that the connection will break if you are away from

your PC for a period of time or if your don’t use the connection for a while. The Idle Timeout value specifies when the

connection should be dropped. Once the connection is dropped then the router will automatically reconnect if it detects internet

demand. Reconnection is very quick; typically just a second or two.

NAT : normally this should be selected. If you have a block of IP addresses from your provider then you

may want to disable NAT and fully ‘expose’ your LAN.

IP Filter : this feature enables or disables to IP filter firewall. Normally you would have this NOT ticked.

However if you run non-NAT mode, with a fully ‘exposed’ LAN then you may wish to enable this feature. You will then need

to setup IP filtering; see Network Service, IP Filtering.

Auto Discovery DNS... : Normally you should enable this option. In order for internet access to work correctly from your

PC your computer needs to know the DNS address. The DNS allows the computer to translate a site name (e.g.

www.solwise.co.uk) into a valid IP address. If you have a single PC dial up connection using a single connection device such

as a USB or PCI modem then your ISP will send the DNS address to your PC when it connects. However this doesn’t normally

happen when using a router connection. However if you select this option then the router will record the given DNS when it

connects to your ISP. Then, if you use DHCP or DNS relay (see below) the router can automatically inform your PC what

address to use for DNS.

Now click on Submit to store the changes.

- 7 -

3.4.3. DNS Relay

With ‘DNS Relay’ you tell your clients (PC’s) to send their DNS requests to the router (as against sending your requests

through the router to the ISP’s DNS). The router then forwards those requests to the true DNS and then passes any replies back

to the client. The advantage of doing this is it simplifies TCP setup on your clients: One less address to find and set.

If you’ve set ‘Auto Discovery DNS....’ in the ADSL channel setup (as detailed above) then DNS relay should be enabled by

default. Then, when your router connects to the ISP it automatically gets the ISP DNS and can use this for any DNS requests

from the clients. However, if you’ve not set this option then, in order to use DNS relay you will need to manually enter these

values in the router configuration.

Goto Network Service/DNS Relay:

Now enter the DNS for your ISP (you may need to ask your ISP for this information).

Make sure you click on ‘Enable’ to set the settings. Jobs done!

3.4.4. Restarting

To make the changes have an effect you must now select Restart...

3.5. Advanced

3.5.1. Altering Configuration User/Password

The default user name and password are ‘adsl’ and ‘adsl1234’. However the AAM6000EV does allow you to both alter the

default user setup and also create new users with three levels of permission:

MAINTENANCE - Full access and configuration capability

SETUP - Similar to above but no permission to create or edit users

MONITOR - Only permission to read or monitor settings

- 8 -

Goto Sys-Maintenance/User:

To alter the default ‘adsl’ main user select EDIT

for the ‘Action’ then enter the user number (1 for

the first ‘adsl’ user). Then alter the settings and

then click on Submit.

To add a new user select ADD for the ‘Action’

and then enter the new user details. Then click on

Submit.

After doing all the changes select SAVE for the

‘Action’ and then click on Submit again.

The new settings are then stored:

You should now ‘Reset’ the modem.

If you ever loose or forget your user name/passwords you will need to connect to your router user the Console interface with a

serial cable (see full manual for details). Then, when the router boots up press the ‘?’ key to restore the default user

(adsl/adsl1234).

3.6. Finishing off

So now you should have the ethernet and ADSL settings correctly configured

on your router. If you altered the IP address settings of the router then you

may need to now go and change the TCP settings of your PC (or LAN) to

suite.

If you want to use the router via your LAN (i.e. not just connected to a single

PC) then you should now unplug the network cable from your PC and connect

it to a normal LAN connection on your network hub. At the same time you

must set the hub/pc switch on the rear of the router to ‘hub’. If you did this

with the router power still on then now press the reset button on the router.

Alternatively now reconnect the power to the router.

You will now need to complete the TCP settings of your PC(s). Goto

Start/Settings/Control Panel/Network and then select the TCP/IP protocol line

for your network card and then click on Properties (see above for more

details).

The first screen shows the IP Address for your PC. As already explained, you

need to ensure that each PC on your LAN has an IP address which is both

unique and within the subnet range of the routers address e.g. in the range

192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254 (assuming default IP address for the router).

Next, for each PC you must enter a Gateway address. This is the address of the router and tells your PC where to send internet

TCP requests:

- 9 -

Finally you must setup DNS Configuration on each PC:

Each PC MUST have the address for DNS entered in it’s TCP setting. If your

PC doesn’t have a DNS setting then it will not be able to find any internet

sites so it’s important that you have this set correctly!

On the DNS Configuration screen you must Enable DNS and then enter a

Host name; this can be anything you like – just a made up name will do!

If you’ve followed the instructions given above then your router will

automatically be doing a feature called ‘DNS relay’. With DNS relay you tell

your clients (PC’s) to send their DNS requests to the router (as against sending

your requests through the router to the ISP’s DNS). The router then forwards

those requests to the true DNS and then passes any replies back to the client.

Therefore, you need to ‘add’ the address of the router to the DNS list.

Finally click on OK and then OK from the main Network menu.

Windows will now install the revised network settings; please note that your

original Windows installation CD might be required. You should then reboot

your PC.

That’s all there is to the basic setup. The next section covers basic testing.

4. Testing

After doing a restart on the router the following things should happen.

1. Power, Status, Line and PC lights go on and then go out.

2. Then the PC light goes on and the Status LED should start to flicker; this indicates there is a line negotiation taking place.

3. If the Status does not come on or stays flickering all the time then there might be something wrong with the line.

4. After line synchronisation the Status light stays on and then the router verifies the user name and password. It is possible to

have a connection (Status light on) but no internet because of failure to logon.

5. Reconnect using your web browser (as shown above).

6. From the login screen enter your user name and password.

7. Then go ADSL Line Status.

If it says MODEM ACTIVATING then it’s not finding the line

or failing to synchronise. This could be because your ADSL

phone cable is not plugged in or maybe even faulty. Check and

retry.
