2. Your CPE at a glance

Your CPE has many ports, switches and LEDs. Let’s take a look at the different options. Depending upon your model of CPE, your CPE may have some or all of the features listed below

2.1 Ports and buttons (Back panel)

z Power is where you connect the power.

z Reset Button: The reset button is used to reset the CPE to default setting. You may need to

reset the CPE if you loose network connectivity or you loose the ability to interface to the CPE via the web interface. To reset the CPE, simply press the reset button for about 5-10 seconds and release. After about 30 seconds the CPE will become operational.

z LAN (local area network) port: connect to Ethernet network devices, such as a PC, hub,

switch, or router.

z USB (universal serial port): connects to a PC’s serial port. The CPE only supports Window’s

based PCs via an RNDIS driver (included in the software).

z DSL port: This is the WAN interface that connects directly to your phone line.

2.2 LED description (Front panel)

z Power LED: On indicates that the power is supplied to the CPE z Status LED: The Status LED serves two purposes. If the LED is continuously lit, the DSL

interface is successfully connected to a device through the WAN port. If the LED is flickering, it is an indication that the modem is training.

z Activity LED: The Activity LED flash during ADSL data transfer. z LAN LED: The LAN’s LED serves two purposes. If the LED is continuously lit, the Ethernet

interface is successfully connected to a device through the LAN port. If the LED is flickering, it is an indication of any network activity.

z USB LED: The USB’s LED serves two purposes. If the LED is continuously lit, the USB

interface is successfully connected to a device through the LAN port. If the LED is flickering, it is an indication of any network activity.

3. Getting Start

This chapter provides basic instructions for connecting the CPE to a computer or a LAN and to the Internet via ADSL.

f Part 1 provides instructions to s et up th e ha rdware. f Part 2 describes how to configure Inte rnet prop erties on your comp uter(s). f Part 3 shows you how to access your C PE.

It is assumed that you have already subscribed to ADSL service with your telephone company or other Internet service provider (ISP). These instructions provide a basic configuration that should be compatible with your home or small office network setup. Refer to the subsequent chapters for additional configuration instructions.

3.1 Connecting the Hardware

In 3.1, you should connect the device to an ADSL line, the power outlet, and your computer or network.

3.1.1 Connect the ADSL line

Connect your ADSL line to the port labeled LINE on the rear panel of the device, and connect the other end of the line to the wall phone jack directly or to an optional POTS splitter. If you use a POTS splitter to connect a telephone to the same wall jack as the CPE, follow the instructions that came with the splitter.

3.1.2 Connect the computers or a LAN

You can use the included Ethern et cable to con nect you r com puter di rectly to the C PE. Attach one end of the Ethernet cable to the port labele d LAN on the rea r panel of the device and con nect the o ther e nd to th e Eth ernet port of your computer.

If your LAN has more than one com put er, you can attach o ne end of an Ethe rnet cable to a hub o r a switch a nd the other to the port labeled LA N on the CPE.

Note that either a crossover or a straight-th rough Eth ernet cabl e can be u sed. The CP E determines and adjusts to the type of signal required.

3.1.3 Attach the power adapter

The supplied power adapter may look different than the one illustrated here. Connect the cylindrical power plug into the POWER connector on the back of the device.

• If you have a wall-mount adapter, plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet or a power strip.

• If you have a table-top adapter, use the AC power cord to connect the adapter to a wall outlet or

power strip.

3.1.4 Turn on your computer

Turn on and boot up your computer and any other LAN devices, such as hubs or switches.
