3 Quick Start Guide
This chapter provides basic instructions for connecting the iPBX30
to a computer or a network and to the Internet.
• Part 1 provides instructions to set up the hardware.
• Part 2 describes how to configure Internet properties on your
computer(s).
• Part 3 shows you how to congure basic settings on the iPBX30
to get your LAN connected to the Internet.
This chapter assumes that you have already established ADSL
or cable modem service with your Internet service provider (ISP).
These instructions provide a basic configuration that should be
compatible with your home or small ofce network setup. Refer to
the subsequent chapters for additional conguration instructions.
Note: To verify that your setup is working properly,
refer to “3.3.2 Testing Your Setup”.
3.1 Part 1 — Connecting the Hardware
This section instructs you on how to connect the device to an ADSL
or a cable modem (which in turn is connected to a phone jack or a
cable outlet), the power outlet, and your computer or network.
Warning: Before you begin, power off all devices,
including your computer(s), your LAN hub/ switch (if
applicable), and the iPBX30.
Follow the steps that follow for specic instructions.
3.1.1 Step 1. Connecting an ADSL or a cable
modem
For the iPBX30: Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the port
labeled WAN on the rear panel of the device. Connect the other
end to the Ethernet port on the ADSL or cable modem.

Chapter 3
3.1.2 Step 2. Connecting computers or a Network.
If your LAN has no more than four computers, use Ethernet cables
to connect computers directly to the built-in switch on the device.
You should attach one end of the Ethernet cable to any of the port
labeled 1 – 4 on the rear panel of the router and connect the other
end to the Ethernet port of a computer.
If your LAN has more than four computers, attach one end of an
Ethernet cable to a hub or a switch (probably an uplink port; refer to
the hub or switch documentations for instructions) and the other to
the Ethernet switch port (labeled 1 – 4) on the iPBX30.
You can use either crossover or straight-through Ethernet cables to
connect the built-in switch and computers, hubs or switches as the
built-in switch allows connections with either type of cables.
3.1.3 Step 3. Attaching the AC adapter.
Attach the AC adapter to the POWER input jack on the back of the
device and plug in the adapter to a wall outlet or a power strip.
3.1.4 Step 4. Powering on iPBX30, the ADSL or cable
modem and power up your computers
Plug the AC adapter to the power input jack of iPX30. Turn on your
ADSL or cable modem. Turn on and boot up your computer(s) and
any LAN devices such as wireless AP, hubs or switches.

3.2 Part2—ConguringYourComputers
This section provides instructions for conguring the network settings
on your computers to work with the iPBX30.
3.2.1 Before you begin
By default, the iPBX30 automatically assigns all required network
settings (e.g. IP address, DNS server IP address, default gateway
IP address) to your PCs. You need only to congure your PCs to
accept the network settings provided by the iPBX30.
Note: In some cases, you may want to configure
network settings manually to some or all of your
computers rather than allow the iPBX30 to do so.
See page 18 for instructions.
• If you have connected your PC via Ethernet to the iPBX30,
follow the instructions that correspond to the operating
system installed on your PC.

3.2.6 Assigning static IP addresses to your PC
In some cases, you may want to assign IP addresses to some or all
of your PCs directly (often called “statically”), rather than allowing
the iPBX30 to assign them. This option may be desirable (but not
required) if:
• You have obtained one or more public IP addresses that
you want to always associate with specic computers (for
18
iPBX30 User Manual
Chapter 3
example, if you are using a computer as a public web
server).
• You maintain different subnets on your LAN.
However, during the first time configuration of your iPBX30, you
must assign an IP address in the 192.168.1.0 network for your PC,
for example, 192.168.1.2, in order to establish connection between
the iPBX30 and your PC as the default LAN IP on iPBX30 is pre-
configured as 192.168.1.1. Enter 255.255.255.0 for the subnet
mask and 192.168.1.1 for the default gateway. These settings may
be changed later to reect your true network environment.
On each PC to which you want to assign static information, follow
the instructions on pages 15 through 18 relating only to checking
for and/or installing the IP protocol. Once it is installed, continue to
follow the instructions for displaying each of the Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP) properties. Instead of enabling dynamic assignment of the
IP addresses for the computer, DNS server, and default gateway,
click the radio buttons that enable you to enter the information
manually.
Note: Your PCs must have IP addresses that place
them in the same subnet as the
iPBX30
’s LAN port.
If you manually assign IP information to all your LAN
PCs, you can follow the instructions in Chapter 5 to
change the LAN port IP address accordingly.
3.3Part3—QuickCongurationoftheiPBX30
In this section, you log into the Web UI Management on the iPBX30
and configure the basic settings for your router. Your ISP should
provide you with the necessary information to complete this step.
Note the intent here is to quickly get the iPBX30 up and running,
instructions are concise. You may refer to corresponding chapters
for more details.
3.3.1 Setting Up the iPBX30
Follow these instructions to setup the iPBX30:
12.Before accessing the Web UI Management in iPBX30, make
sure that the HTTP proxy setting is disabled in your browser. In
IE, click “Tools” -> “Internet Options...” -> “Connections” tab ->
“LAN settings...” and then uncheck “Use proxy server for your
19

LAN ...”
13.On any PC connected to one of the four LAN ports on the
iPBX30, open your Web browser, and type the following URL in
the address/location box, and press <Enter>:
http://192.168.1.1
This is the predened IP address for the LAN port on the iPBX30.
Figure 3.2 Login Screen
If you encounter problems connecting to the iPBX30, check the
following items:
a.Check if your PC is congured to accept IP address assignment
from the iPBX30.
b.Set the IP address of your PC to any IP address in the
192.168.1.0 network, such as 192.168.1.2.
14.Enter your username and password, and then click "OK" to
enter the Web UI Management. The rst time you log into this
program, use these defaults:
Default Username: admin
Default Password: admin
You can change the password at any time (see
section 11.2).
The System Information page appears each time you log into the
Web UI Management (shown in Figure 3.3).

15. Follow the instructions described in Chapter 5 “Router Setup” to
set up the LAN and WAN settings for iPBX30.
After completing the basic configuration for iPBX30, read the
following section to determine if you can access the Internet.
3.3.2 Testing Your Setup
At this point, the iPBX30 should enable any computers on your LAN
to use the iPBX30’s ADSL or cable modem connection to access
the Internet.
To test the Internet connection, open your web browser, and type
the URL of any external website (such as
http://www.asus.com
).
The LED labeled WAN should be blinking rapidly and may appear
solid as the device connects to the site. You should also be able to
21
Chapter 3
iPBX30 User Manual
browse the web site through your web browser.
If the LEDs do not illuminate as expected or the web page is not
displayed, see Appendix 12 for troubleshooting suggestions.
3.3.3 Default Router Settings
In addition to handling the DSL connection to your ISP, the iPBX30
can provide a variety of services to your network. The device is pre-
congured with default settings for use with a typical home or small
ofce network.
The table below lists some of the most important default settings;
these and other features are described fully in the subsequent
chapters. If you are familiar with network configuration settings,
review them to verify that they meet the needs of your network.
Follow the instructions to make changes if necessary. If you are
unfamiliar with these settings, try using the device without making
any modication, or contact your ISP for assistance.
Before you modifying any settings, review Chapter 4 for general
information about accessing and using the Web UI Management
program. We strongly recommend that you contact your ISP prior to
changing the default conguration.
