1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 What is MANGA Point?
MANGA Point is a network device for one or more PCs on a LAN to simultaneously access
secure wireless broadband Internet service. With integrated 4 Ethernet switching ports
and user-friendly web-based network administration features, MANGA Point can connect 4
PCs to the Internet without installing any wireless LAN adapter or configuring tedious
wireless network settings on the PCs. MANGA Point supports DHCP, NAT, DMZ and port
forwarding functions. It can also be configured to filter incoming and outgoing traffic. So
users could get online by just having to connect the PC and the MANGA Point with an
Ethernet cable.

TROUBLESHOOTING
4 TROUBLESHOOTING
This chapter provides possible solutions to potential problems regarding the installation and
configuration of MANGA Point.
1. None of the LEDs are on when you turn on the MANGA Point
Check the power cable between the AC adapter and the MANGA Point. If the error
persists, you may have a hardware problem. In this case, contact your dealer for
further inspection.
2. Can’t connect to the MANGA Point from the LAN
Check the Ethernet cable type and connection between your computer and the MANGA
Point. Refer to instructions in the hardware installation chapter 2.1.
3. Can’t browse through the MANGA Point from the LAN
Check the TCP/IP settings on the client side. Verify that the IP addresses and subnet
masks of the MANGA Point and the computer on the LAN are on the same subnet.
4. Connection failed in the connection status page
The WAN IP address is provided when the login authentication is successful. Make
sure that you have entered the correct SSID, User Name and Password in the connect
page.
