I. Introduction

The On-Q Home 4 Port Router/Switch is an integrated Internet IP sharing device with a built-in 4-port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet switch. Its superb throughput as high as up to 80Mbps between Internet and LAN makes it the perfect solution to connect a small group of PCs to a high-speed broadband Internet connection (see Figure 1). Multiple users can have highspeed Internet access simultaneously via one single IP address (Internet account) of the Cable/xDSL modem.

This product also serves as an Internet firewall, protecting your network from being accessed by outside users. All incoming data packets are monitored and filtered. The Router can also be configured to filter internal users’ access to the Internet.

The built-in 4-port Fast Ethernet Switch lets users plug the network cable into the device without buying additional Hub/Switch.

4. What does the message “IP address conflict” mean?

When you see the message box prompt for IP address conflict on any of the workstations in the network, this means two or more workstations have the same IP address. If you have setup the device as a DHCP server, run IPCONFIG /release and then run IPCONFIG /renew on the problem workstation (for

Windows 98SE or ME, run the "winipcfg" utility, select the correct Network Adapter, click “release all” to release all current configuration, then click “renew all” to renew the IP information again,). If the DHCP function is disabled and static IP

addresses are assigned to each workstation, please double check each workstation’s IP address for any duplicate IP addresses.

5. What does “Can not access the Internet” mean?

Check the physical connectivity of the local network and broadband device.

Make sure you are using the correct cables and the cables are connected to the network devices properly. Examine the LED of LAN port and the LED of the broadband signal input on the Cable Modem/xDSL Modem. If the LAN LED is off, make sure you are using the correct cables and the cables are connected to the devices properly. If the LED of the broadband signal is off, please contact your ISP.

Check the status of this product.

After checking the cabling and LEDs, you also have to check if you have entered the correct user name and password that your ISP provided. While checking, please note that the information is case sensitive. To check the Internet connection status, open the browser to start the Web configuration, select Network Status ÆWAN IP Status. Check if Link Status displays “Connect successfully”. If not, you may have to contact your ISP to see if their Internet service is available.

Check the logical connectivity from your computer to the Internet (TCP/IP Network Diagnosis).

The WINIPCFG program (for Win95, 98, and ME) or IPCONFIG program (for Windows 2000, NT, XP) is used to gather information about the TCP/IP connections that are active on your system. It cannot be used to dynamically adjust

VI. Troubleshooting

A. Contact Information

If you are unable to locate a solution here, please access our website at

www.onqhome.com for the latest information. You can also reach us at 1-

800-321-2343.

B. FAQs

1. When Should I modify the MAC address for Internet port settings?

Some ISPs identify the clients that attempt to attach to them by the accessing the client’s MAC address and ISP assigned host name. The MAC address required for Internet port settings is the Router’s MAC address which should be the one you already registered with your ISP, and there is no need for modifying it. However, if the ISP has been utilizing the your PC adapter card’s MAC address prior to obtaining this Router, you may have to modify the Router’s MAC address for Internet port settings to reflect the MAC address of the PC adapter card.

2. What is PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet )?

PPPoE is also known as a dial-up DSL service. It is designed to integrate broadband services into the current widely deployed, easy-to-use, and low-cost dial-up-access networking infrastructure. Thus, a customer can get greater access speed without changing the familiar dial operation concept.

3. How can I know if I am using PPPoE?

PPPoE client software is provided by the ISP and should be installed onto your computer first. You run the program to connect to/disconnect from the Internet. User Account information (User Name and Password) is also required each time you connect to the Internet access.

Note: After you have entered the PPPoE information during the device setup, and started up the device, the device will provide your ISP with the PPPoE information and login automatically.

III. Installation

The On-Q Home 4 Port Router/Switch is best installed during new construction in two steps; at “rough-in” after the Electricians are done, but prior to drywall being installed, and at “trim-out” after the drywall is installed and painted. These steps are detailed below:

A. “Rough-in” steps:

1. A single CAT5e should be run in the walls from the structured

wiring enclosure location in the home where the On-Q Home 4 Port Router/Switch will be installed to each outlet location in the rooms where Internet service is required (leave extra cable at both ends).

2. At the selected outlet locations, a single gang box or mud ring

should be installed, with the extra CAT5e cable in the box, or attached in such a way that it may be fished out after the drywall is installed.

B. “Trim-out” steps:

3. The CAT5e that was secured at each of the outlets should be

pulled out and terminated with a punchdown tool on an RJ45 insert and attached to a wallplate, which is then installed in the single gang box or mud ring.

4. In the structured wiring enclosure the CAT5e from the outlets

may be terminated with a punchdown tool onto an On-Q Home 5 Port Network Interface Module’s RJ45 Inserts or with RJ-45 plugs for direct connection to the On-Q Home 4 Port Router/Switch.

5. The On-Q Home 4 Port 10/100 Router/Switch is installed in

the structured wiring enclosure by slipping the tabs into the square holes, and using the push pin in a round hole to secure the router.

6. If the outlet cables were punched down at a Network Interface

Module, CAT5e patch cables are then connected from the OnQ Home 5 Port Network Interface Module to the input ports

(800)-321-2343 www.onqhome.com

Innovations in Home Living.

on the OnQ 4-Port 10/100 Router/Switch.

7. An additional CAT5e patch cable is then connected from the

network (WAN) port of the 4 Port 10/100 Router/Switch to the Cable Modem or DSL Modem housed in the structured wiring enclosure.

8. The 4 Port 10/100 Router/Switch is powered with an AC to

DC adapter which also needs to be plugged in to an AC source.

9. Follow the steps in the next two sections for configuring the

router.

NOTE: Use proper tools and standard TIA 568A rules to prep and terminate the CAT5e cable, such as the On-Q Home CAT5 Cable Stripper (P/N 363292-01) and the On-Q Home EZ RJ45 Crimp Tool (P/N 364555-01).

(800)-321-2343 www.onqhome.com

Innovations in Home Living.

D. Local Port Setup

This screen (see Figure 9) contains settings for configuring the LAN (4-port switch) side of the product, where your PCs are connected. You can set to distribute IP address to local PCs or not. If “Distribute IP address to local computer” is selected, users can enter the starting IP address for the group of attached PCs. The number of IP address decides the total number of clients allowed.

NOTE: All the PCs on the same LAN (switch) should use the same subnet Mask.

Users can also set Static DHCP in this page. Users are allowed to set 32 Static DHCP. Using this feature, the device will assign the same IP address to a computer (according to the network adapter’s MAC address) and this computer becomes the only one able to request that IP address. This is useful for support of virtual servers which require fixed IP addresses for outside Internet access.

Private Network IP Address Default: 192.168.1.254 (this is the local

address of this On-Q Router/Switch)

Subnet mask Default: 255.255.255.0

IV. Configuration

The On-Q Home 4 Port Router/Switch is typically configured in one of two ways; (1) From a portable PC connected through one of the Local Switch Ports on the Router/Switch Module in the enclosure, or (2) From a PC in one of the rooms of the house, connected through an outlet in the room to the enclosure where it is patched to (or directly connected to) one of the Local Switch Ports (see Figure 3). In either case, the PC must have an Ethernet Network Interface Card to communicate with the Router/Switch.

A. Configuring a NICard to talk to the Router/Switch

NOTE: The steps below assume that your PC’s network interface card is set to DHCP, or in other words, to obtain IP addressing automatically. The steps also assume that the On-Q Home 4 Port Router/Switch is set to its default setting of “Distribute IP” for the local ports and that all the cables previously discussed are properly connected. It is also possible to perform these steps by configuring your computer (with installed Ethernet Network Interface Card) to talk to the On-Q Router/Switch on its specific IP subnetwork (192.168.1.xxx). The On-Q Router/Switch’s default IP address

Figure 3

(800)-321-2343 www.onqhome.com

Innovations in Home Living.

in that subnetwork is 192.168.1.254, so your PC’s Ethernet Card can be temporarily assigned an IP address, (like 192.168.1.10

), on that same subnetwork to talk to and configure the Router/Switch. Giving the PC a specific IP address is also called assigning it a Static IP address, as compared to a Dynamic IP address that is typically assigned by a service provider when your PC’s network interface card is configured for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).

NOTE: Before doing any PC IP Address re-configuration, make sure you first write down all of the current IP settings.

B. Logging on to the Router/Switch

1. With your PC connected to one of the local ports on the

Router/Switch, open a browser and enter the Router/Switch’s default IP address (192.168.1.254), and click “Go” (see Figure 4) to get the login page.

NOTE: No user name is required and the default password is left blank.

2. To logon, just click OK (see Figure 5).

Innovations in Home Living.

2. PPPoE (DSL dynamic Mode)

If this mode is selected (see Figure 8) and settings are saved, this Router/Switch will be connected to the Internet over an alwayson connection by a method provided by PPPoE. PPPoE offers simulated dial-up software like Microsoft Dial-Up Networking, which saves users’ time and effort to run the program on their PCs. And the auto-connect/disconnect feature lets the system stay in an idle state when there is no activity, but pick up the connection quickly when there is network activity. This can significantly save users’ cost on connection fees. The MTU function lets you choose the maximum packet size that fits your need for optimal throughput. Reducing the packet size can help with connecting to certain web sites or with speeding up packet transfer and reception.
