Cisco Systems EFG120 User Manual

1. Connect the network cable that came with the EFG120 to the LAN port. Connect the other end of the cable to your hub, switch, or PC.

2. Connect a printer to the EFG120. Connect a standard parallel printer cable to the EFG120 ’s rear-panel printer port. Connect the other end of the cable to your printer. (For further information on connecting a printer, refer to Appendix C of the User Guide.)

3. Connect the power supply. Plug the supplied power adapter into the EFG120’s Power port, which is located on the rear panel. Connect the power adapter to a power outlet.

4. Locate the EFG120’s power button on the front panel. Press it once to power on the EFG120. Then, power on the network printer, if you attached one to the EFG120.

5. Now that its power is on, the EFG120’s boot process will begin. The EFG120 will run a brief self-test (two or three seconds) prior to actually booting up. During the self-test, most of the EFG120’s LEDs will be lit or flashing. The entire boot process should take only a few minutes.

6. When most of the LEDs turn off, leaving only the Ready LED lit up (and not blinking), the EFG120’s boot up is complete. If the Error LED is flashing, or if the EFG120 repeatedly beeps, there is a hardware problem. Review the Beeper Codes section in Chapter Two of the User Guide for explanations of the Beeper Codes.

This Quick Installation is meant to help you install the product quickly and easily. For detailed instructions on installation and configuration, and further setup options, please consult the User Guide.

D. The f irst settings that you can change are the EFG120’s IP Address settings. As

shown, select the radio button beside either Fixed IP Address or Dynamic IP Address.

The Fixed IP Address is set by default (192.168.1.77). Use this setting if there is no DHCP server on your network and you want the EFG120 to use a static IP Address. With the Fixed IP Address setting, you can also use the EFG120 as your network’s DHCP server. Use the Dynamic IP Address setting if you already have a DHCP server setting IP Addresses on your network devices.

Click the radio button next to your selection. Then, click the Next button on the right to proceed or the Back button to return to the previous screen.

Proceed to the next step if you are selecting the Fixed IP Address setting. If selecting Dynamic IP Address, proceed to Step 7.

you will see the screen shown below. On this screen, you will set the EFG120’s IP Address and network information. Enter the following information and click the Next button on the right to proceed or the Back button to return to the previous screen.

Subnet Mask. The Subnet Mask must match the other devices on your network. It is set by default to 255.255.255.0.

Default Gateway. This value is left blank by default. If you have a router on your network, however, enter its IP Address here.

F. From the next screen, you can set the

EFG120 as your network’s DHCP server if no other device is functioning as a DHCP server on your network. If you wish to use the EFG120 as a DHCP server, click the box next to Enable DHCP Server. Then, enter the range of IP Addresses you want to assign on your network. The first three Start and Finish fields must match the EFG120’s IP Address with the final fields ranging from 2 to 250.

Click the Next button on the right to proceed or the Back button to return to the previous screen.
