1.
After unpacking your Cayman Router shipping carton, decide where you want
to locate the Router.
You should install the Router near your PC or another location that permits easy access
and visibility. You can lay the Cayman Router flat or mount it on a wall. Make sure any
Ethernet cables are kept away from power cords, fluorescent lighting fixtures, and
other sources of electrical interference. Put the Router in a location where air can circulate freely around it.
2.
Connect the power transformer to the power jack on the Router back panel.
Plug the power transformer into an appropriate electrical outlet.
The Power light should come on solid green.
3.
Connect the Router to the Ethernet jack on your cable modem or DSL modem.
Be sure your DSL or cable modem is installed according to its instructions, and connected to its appropriate wall jack. Insert one end of the gray modem cable in the
MMMMooooddddeeeemm
mm
port on the Cayman Router back panel. Insert the other end of the modem
cable into the Ethernet jack on your DSL or cable modem. The Modem indicator light
should blink for up to two minutes and then come on solid green.
4.
Connect the yellow Ethernet cable to your first PC.
The Ethernet light for the port where you connected the cable should blink briefly and
come on solid green.
5.
Connect the Router to create your Ethernet local area network (LAN.)
Connect each computer or other device to a switch port on the back of the Router with
an Ethernet cable (maximum length 100 meters). If you need more than four ports, connect a hub or switch to the Router using a standard Ethernet cable.
Proceed to the next section “Configure Your PC for Dynamic Addressing” .
When all of your connections are made, the status LEDs on the front of your Cayman Router
will light, according to the following diagram:
The following instructions assume that you want to use the automatic configuration and
address sharing features of the Router to provide IP information to devices on your local
Ethernet network.
