FINDING THE STRONGEST SERVICE PROVIDER
SIGNAL
Your RSU is equipped with an internal directional antenna. To
provide the best service, the RSU searches for the strongest signal
transmitted by your service provider.
You can find the strongest signal from your service provider by using
one of the following methods:
• Indicator light method (available for any operating system)
• Software-assisted method (available for Windows operating systems only)
Regardless of the method you use, you need to understand which side
of the RSU is its front and which is its back. Figure 5 illustrates the
RSU sides.

3A
USING THE INDICATOR LIGHTS TO FIND THE
STRONGEST SERVICE PROVIDER SIGNAL
You can find the strongest service provider signal by using the lights
on top of the RSU (Figure 6). You can use this method regardless of
the operating system your computer runs.
Lights on RSU
Figure 6: Location of lights on RSU
The indicator lights indicate the strength of the signal received while
the RSU is in its current orientation. The stronger the signal, the more
lights on the RSU blink on and off. The strongest signal may be
indicated by one or two lights lit. Even though not all five lights are
lit, this level of signal is strong enough for full-speed operation.
To use the lights to find the strongest service provider signal:
1 Before you begin, make sure:
• Your computer is turned off.
• The RSU’s power cord is connected to the RSU and to a
power source. If your RSU has power, the lights on the RSU
blink on and off.
• The Ethernet cable is

2 Set your RSU on a table or shelf in the location you’ve chosen.
The RSU must be in an upright position.
3 Point the front of the RSU directly toward the window.
4 Remove your hands from the RSU. Keep the RSU stationary, in
this orientation, for about five seconds.
The blinking lights indicate the strength of the signal received.
The stronger the signal, the more lights on the RSU blink on and
off. Figure 7 illustrates blinking lights.

5 Point the front of the RSU to the right of the starting position.
Remove your hands from the RSU, and let it stand still for
about five seconds.
11
6 Again, note how many lights are blinking while the RSU is in this
orientation. The stronger the signal, the more lights on the RSU
blink.
7 Point the front of the RSU to the left of the starting position.
Remove your hands from the RSU, and let it stand still for about
5 seconds. Note how many lights blink while the RSU is in this
orientation.
8 Remembering the strongest signal reported, re-orient the front of
the RSU in the direction that the RSU was pointed when the
strongest signal was found.
9 Plug the Ethernet cable into your computer. The other end of the
cable should already be plugged into the RSU.
10 Turn on your computer. During power up, the lights on the RSU
stop blinking, and are continuously lit.
11 After the lights stop blinking, observe the lights for about 30 to
90 seconds. Make sure the same number (or more) of indicator
lights stay on.
• If the same number or more lights are on, you are ready to
use your high-speed Internet connection.
• If fewer lights are on, complete the fine tuning steps de-
scribed in the section, “Fine-tuning the connection to the service provider” on page 16.

3B
USING THE SOFTWARE-ASSISTED METHOD TO FIND
THE STRONGEST SIGNAL
Note: The software-assisted method is available only to users who
use Windows (versions later than 3.11) as their operating system.
To use the software program to help you search for the strongest
service provider signal in your area:
1 Install and start the LinkMonitor™ program.
2 Find the strongest service provider signal.
Each task is explained in greater detail in the sections that follow.
Installing and starting the LinkMonitor program
1 If your computer is not powered on, power it now.
2 Make sure the Ethernet cable and power cable are connected to
the RSU.
3 Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into your computer.
4 Locate the software CD supplied with your RSU.
5 Insert the CD into your computer’s CD drive. If the installation
program does not start automatically, start it by clicking on the
Setup.exe icon.
Follow the instructions in the dialog boxes to complete the
installation of the LinkMonitor program.
6 After the software is installed, a blue RSU icon appears in your
system tray (Figure 8).
To run the LinkMonitor program, right click on the icon, and
select Open.

Finding the strongest service provider signal
During this procedure, point the front of the RSU directly toward an
outside window. Then, point the front of the RSU to the right of the
starting position, and then to the left of the starting position.
At these three points, briefly stop the movement of the RSU and note
the strength of the signal from your Internet service provider, as
indicated by the score that the software program reports.
Before you begin, ensure your RSU is sitting on a table or shelf, in the
location you’ve chosen.
1 Point the front of the RSU toward the window. Remove your
hands from the RSU.
Back at your computer program, click Start Scan. Let the RSU
sit stationary for about five seconds.
2 The program searches for a signal from your service provider. In
the Channel Score group, the strength of the signal received at
the starting position is indicated in two ways:
• The indicator bar shows varying levels of red, yellow, and
green. Red indicates weak signal strength, yellow indicates
moderate signal strength, and green indicates strong signal
strength.
•The Current Score field shows the signal strength. During
this procedure, the program compares the Current Score to
the Best Score. Best Score indicates the strongest signal the
program has ever seen during the scanning procedure.
3 After about five seconds, point the front of the RSU to the right
of the starting position.
4 Remove your hands from the RSU and make sure the RSU is
stationary.
The software program determines and reports the strength of
the signal that the RSU receives while the RSU is in its current
orientation.
5 After about five seconds, note the strength of the signal received
at its current position.
6 Point the front of the RSU to the left of the starting position.
15
7 Remove your hands from the RSU and make sure the RSU is
stationary.
The program determines and reports the strength of the signal
that the RSU receives while the RSU is in its current orientation.
8 Remembering the strongest signal reported, re-orient the front of
the RSU in the direction that the RSU was pointed when the
strongest signal was found.
9 After about five seconds, click Stop Scan. The lights on the RSU
stop blinking and become continuously lit.
10 After the lights stop blinking, observe the lights for about 30 to
90 seconds. Make sure the same number (or more) of indicator
lights stays on.
• If the same number or more lights are on, you are ready to
use your high-speed Internet connection.
• If fewer lights are on, complete the fine tuning steps de-
scribed in the section, “Fine-tuning the connection to the service provider” on page 16 in this guide.
You only need to re-run the LinkMonitor program and repeat the
scan when you power down your RSU and
move it.
4
FINE-TUNING THE CONNECTION TO THE SERVICE
PROVIDER
After performing initial setup, most users will be able to operate their
RSU without further fine-tuning.
However, if you notice fewer lights on the RSU are lit after 30 to 90
seconds of use, fine tune the connection to the service provider. The
fine-tune procedure ensures the signal received from the service
provider is strong (as indicated by the number of lights lit) and highquality (as indicated by the number of lights lit over time.)
1 Unplug the Ethernet cable from the computer.
2 The current position of your RSU is its starting point. Point the
RSU slightly to the left of its starting point. Note the number of
indicator lights that blink.
3 Point the RSU slightly to the right of its starting point. Note the
number of indicator lights that blink.
16
4 Point the RSU toward the direction it was facing—either to the
left or to the right of the starting point—when the most lights
were blinking.
5 Plug the Ethernet cable back into the computer.
6 Refresh your IP address by performing the procedure described
in the section “Refreshing the RSU’s connection” on page 18.
5
CONNECTING TO THE INTERNET
After completing steps 1 through 4, you should be able to connect to
the Internet.
1 Start your Internet browser, and try to open a few Internet sites.
• If you can open numerous sites, enjoy your new, high-speed
service.
• If you cannot open any sites—for example, if your browser
displays a message “This page cannot be displayed” for all the
sites you tried to access—refresh the RSU’s connection, as
described in the section “Refreshing the RSU’s connection”
on page 18 in this guide.
17
Refreshing the RSU’s connection
When you refresh the RSU’s connection, your service provider is
assigning your computer a new IP address. You need to refresh your
RSU’s connection with your service provider when:
• You completed steps 1 through 3 in this guide, but your Internet
browser does not let you open any Internet sites.
• You needed to complete the steps in the section “Fine-tuning
the connection to the service provider” on page 16 in this guide.
WINDOWS USERS: REFRESHING THE CONNECTION
To refresh the connection:
1 Make sure you have installed the LinkMonitor program.
2 In the system tray, right click the blue RSU icon (Figure 8) and
select Open.
3 In the window that appears, on the Local Net Config tab, click
the Renew IP Address button.
NON-WINDOWS USERS: REFRESHING THE
CONNECTION
If you do not run the Windows operating system, you can reboot your
computer to refresh the connection. You may want to refer to your
operating system’s help files to determine if other methods exist to
refresh the connection (that is, to find a method for refreshing the IP
address).
18
Connecting the RSU to a network
Note: Plan to use only one RSU on a network. Do not use multiple
RSUs on the same network.
To directly connect the RSU to a computer, use the supplied Ethernet
cable (also known as a straight-through cable).
However, to connect the RSU to a hub or switch, use an Ethernet
cable appropriate for your network device. This might be a straight
through or cross-over cable, depending on how your network device
switches signals. When determining how to set up your network,
remember that the RSU device operates as a hub or a bridge.
After connecting the RSU to the network device, power the RSU and
scan for a service provider signal, as described in earlier sections of
this guide.
19
Troubleshooting
This section describes possible issues with RSU installation and how
to resolve the issues if you encounter them.
THE RSU CAN SUCCESSFULLY RECEIVE A SIGNAL AT
HOME, BUT NOT AT WORK OR AT A FRIEND’S HOUSE
You need to repeat the search for a service provider signal each time
you power down your RSU and move it.
If you have not repeated the signal search, repeat the steps described
in the section “Finding the strongest service provider signal” on
page 9 in this guide.
If this does not solve the problem, check with your service provider
to make sure they offer service to the geographic location where you
are running the RSU.
THE RSU CANNOT RECEIVE YOUR SERVICE
PROVIDER’S SIGNAL
Most users can receive a signal from their service provider when they
operate their RSU near an outside window, on the first or second
floor of their home or office.
However, you may need to run the signal scan in more than one
location in your home or office to get a signal.
If you performed the signal scan in two or three locations in your
home or office, but did not receive a signal, contact the electronics or
computer store where you purchased the RSU, or contact your service
provider.
THE RSU’S LIGHTS DON’T BLINK, BUT RATHER
CHASE
If your RSU is unable to find a service provider signal, the lights on
your RSU don’t blink, but rather they “chase” each other, with a light
blinking on as the previous light blinks off.
20
Figure 10 illustrates chasing lights.
Light 1 blinks on
Light 2 blinks on
Light 3 blinks on
Light 4 blinks on
Light 5 blinks on
Figure 10: Indicator lights chasing: no signal found
If you have tried to use your RSU in several locations
within your home or office—without being able to receive a signal—
contact your service provider for further information about
connecting.
YOU SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED THE SIGNAL SCAN,
BUT YOUR INTERNET BROWSER CANNOT CONNECT
TO A WEB SITE
If you tried to connect to only one Internet address, try to connect to
a few more. It is important to try a few different Internet addresses
because the single site you were unable to reach may indicate that the
site is out of service, not that the RSU is malfunctioning.
However, if you tried to reach a few sites without success, you may
need to refresh your RSU’s connection with your service provider.
When your RSU first connects with your service provider’s
equipment, your computer is assigned an IP address. This IP address
ensures that the Internet information you request can reach your
computer and your Internet browser.
21
If your Internet browser cannot open any sites:
1 Make sure your computer is set up to automatically receive an IP
address, as described in the section, “Setting up the computer to
dynamically receive an IP address” on page 4.
2 Refresh the connection with your service provider by performing
one of the following:
• If you are a Windows user, open the Link Monitor program.
Click the Renew IP Address button.
• If you are using a non-Windows operating system, reboot
your computer.
3 Try opening a few web sites with your Internet browser.
THE LIGHTS ON THE RSU BLINK MORE SLOWLY
THAN NORMAL
When your RSU searches for a service provider signal, the lights on
the RSU blink on and off rapidly. If you notice the RSU’s lights
blinking more slowly than usual, this usually indicates that your RSU
is trying to register with your service provider.
During registration, your service provider may be checking records to
indicate that you are a valid user of the service provider’s system. In
most cases, the registration process happens so quickly you hardly
notice a change in the blink rate of the lights on your RSU.
However, if the lights blink slowly for an extended time (more than
30 seconds):
1 Unplug the Ethernet cable from the bottom of the RSU.
2 Repeat the procedure described in the section “Using the
indicator lights to find the strongest service provider signal” on
page 10.
At the end of this procedure, you should have plugged the
Ethernet cable back in.
3 Perform one of the following:
• If your RSU successfully registers, as indicated by continu-
ously lit lights, you can use your connection.
• If the lights on your RSU continue to slowly blink on and off,
contact your service provider.
22
YOU RECEIVE A DIALOG BOX INDICATING THAT YOU
CANNOT CONNECT TO YOUR SERVICE PROVIDER
When you try to connect with your service provider, you may receive
a message on your computer indicating that you cannot connect at
this time.
You may receive this message for any number of reasons, such as the
service provider’s equipment may be malfunctioning, your RSU is
malfunctioning, or your service provider is still processing your
payment or identification records.
If you receive such a message:
1 Make a note of the message’s contents and any error number that
appears.
2 Contact your service provider with this information. They should
be able to resolve the problem for you.
LINKMONITOR APPLICATION CANNOT
COMMUNICATE WITH RSU WHEN VPN IS USED
When using a virtual private network (VPN), you may receive a
message indicating that the LinkMonitor application cannot
communicate with the RSU. Some configurations of VPN prevent
communication between the application and the RSU.
To successfully use the LinkMonitor application, disconnect from the
VPN.
