Setup Procedure

Step 1:

Connect your Octolinks SW88 Series multi WAN router

1. First, verify that your

Octolinks SW88 Series router and your cable or DSL modems are powered OFF.

2. Using Ethernet cables connect your Broadband modems to the

Octolinks SW88 Series router’s WAN

ports on the front panel starting from Ethernet port number 1.

3. Connect the Ethernet cables from PCs to the LAN ports of your

Octolinks SW88 Series router.

Any LAN port on the

Octolinks SW88 Series router will automatically act as an «Uplink» port when

connected to another Ethernet Switch or Hub.

4. Power ON the modems and wait for synchronization (approx. 30 seconds).

5. Plug in the power cord of the

Octolinks SW88 Series router to an electrical outlet and connect it into

the AC input on the back panel. Immediately the Power LED of your router will light up.

6. The corresponding WAN – Link/ACT LED will be ON if the WAN port is correctly connected to a
Broadband modem.

7. For each PC connected to the LAN ports, the corresponding LAN – Link/ACT LED will be ON.

Step 2:

Configure your Internet Access

Make sure you have all the setup instructions provided by your ISP. If not, contact your ISP to obtain
all the necessary instructions for accessing the Internet using your Broadband modems before
proceeding.

NOTE : Your PC’s Ethernet adapter should be set to obtain an IP address automatically. For more
information, refer to your OS help or the Appendix A of this document.

the Octolinks SW88 Series router using DHCP.
