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 high-speed 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.

D. On-Q Home 4 Port Router/Switch Detailed Physical Description

The following information describes the physical characteristics of the On-Q Home Router/Switch:

1. Router/Switch Module Connection Area

Figure 2 shows the Router/Switch connection area including:

9 VDC Power Receptacle – connection from power supply WAN (Network) Port – 8 position RJ-45 jack (connects to Cable or DSL modem) Local Switch Ports – 8 position RJ-45 jacks (connection from outlets in rooms) Reset Button - A dual-function button. A brief button press (with a pencil, pen, or other pointed object)

resets the Router/Switch unit, while a longer button press (over 5 seconds) resets the Router/Switch unit to the factory default settings. If the Router/Switch is experiencing trouble connecting to the Internet, briefly press and release the Reset button to reset the unit. The Router/Switch will retain its configuration information during this reset operation. To reset the unit to the factory defaults, while the unit is powered, press and hold the Reset button for more than 5 seconds. This clears the user settings, including User ID, Password, IP Address, and Subnet Mask.

NOTE: Refer to Section IV Configuration for instructions on re-configuring the Router/Switch.

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 RJ45 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 On-Q Home 5 Port Network Interface Module to the input ports 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).

IV. Initial Configuration (see Section V Advanced Setup Steps for more information)

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 Network Interface Card 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 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 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.

), on that same subnetwork to talk to and configure the

1. CATV dynamic Mode (Cable Modem)

Selecting this mode (see Figure 7) enables you to obtain dynamic IP address from your ISP via DHCP support. Once the IP address is obtained, you can access the Internet. For most cases, this page needs no input. However, some ISPs may require some information for identification purpose. For example: Device/Computer name and Domain Name; please enter the information required to complete the settings.

Check to modify the MAC address when necessary.

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 always-on 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.

Check to modify the MAC address when necessary.
