Below are the potential problems you may run into and the possible solutions. After each problem description, some instructions are provided to help you to diagnose and to solve the problem.

Problem Action

None of the LEDs are on when you turn on the router

Check the connection between the AC adapter and the router. If the error persists, you may have a hardware problem. In this case you should

contact technical support. Cannot access the router via the console port

Check to see if the router in connected to

your computer’s serial port. Cannot ping any station on the LAN

Check the Ethernet LEDs on the front panel.

The LED should be on for a port that has a

station connected. If it is off, check the

cable between your router and the station.

Verify that the IP address and the subnet

mask are consistent between the router and

the workstations. Initialization of PVC connection failed

Ensure that the cable is connected properly

from the ADSL port to the wall jack. The

ADSL SYNC led on the front panel of the

router should be on.

Check that your VPI, VCI, type of

encapsulation and type of multiplexing

settings are the same as what you collected

from your telephone company and ISP.

Reboot the router. If you still have

problems, you may need to verify these

variables with the telephone company and/or
