Troubleshooting

POWER LED does not illuminate after the product is turned on. What should I do?

Q1:

Q2:

connection. How do I find out?

Q3:

says, "The page cannot be displayed. How can I get into the TDM-E400 / TDM-C400 web
configuration page?

Q4:

Verify that you are using the power cable provided with the device and that it is securely

A1:

connected to the ADSL2+ modem and a wall socket/power strip.

I am not sure what type of Internet broadband connection I have for my DSL

You can contact your Internet Service Provider's (ISP) Customer Service or Technical

A2:

Support Department for the correct information.

I specified the IP address 192.168.1.254 in my Web browser, but an error messages

A3:

Please check your hardware and TCP/IP settings again by following the instructions in
the QIG. Make sure the Power, WAN and the LAN LEDs are on. Then try to access the
configuration page using your Web Browser again.

INTERNET LED does not illuminate after phone cable is attached.

A4:

Verify that a standard telephone cable (called an RJ‑11 cable) like the one provided is

securely connected to the ADSL port and your wall phone jack. Allow about 30 seconds for
the device to negotiate a connection with your ISP.

Verify that you are using a straight-through type Ethernet cable to the uplink port on a hub or
a cross-over type cable to a stand-alone PC. If you connected the device to an ordinary hub
port (not Uplink), you must use a straight-through cable. (To check: hold the connectors at
each end of the cable side-by-side with the plastic spring facing down. Looking at the wires
from left to right, if the first, second, third, and sixth wires are the same color on the two
connectors, then it is a straight-through type. On a cross-over type, wire 1 on one connector
should be the same color as wire 3 on the other. The same is true of wires 2 and 6.)

Q5:

Ethernet LED does not illuminate after Ethernet cable is attached.

A5:

Verify that the Ethernet cable is securely connected to your LAN hub or PC and to the
ADSL2+ mdoem. Make sure the PC and/or hub is turned on.
Verify that your cable is sufficient for your network requirements. A 100 Mbps network
(10BaseTx) should use cables labeled CAT 5. A 10Mbps network may tolerate lower quality
cables.

Q6.

My LAN PCs cannot display web pages on the Internet.

A6:

Verify that the DNS server IP address specified on the PCs is correct for your ISP, as

discussed in the item above. If you specified that the DNS server be assigned dynamically
from a server, then verify with your ISP that the address configured on the ADSL2+ modem is
correct, then you can use the ping utility, described on page 174 of the user guide,
to test connectivity with your ISP's DNS server.

10

My PC cannot access the Internet.

Q7.

Use the ping utility, described on page 174 of the UG, check whether your PC can

A7:

communicate with the ADSL2+ Modem Router 's LAN IP address (by default 192.168.1.254).
If it cannot, check the Ethernet cabling.

If you statically assigned a private IP address to the computer, (not a registered public
address), verify the following:

1. Check that the gateway IP address on the computer is your public IP address. If it is not,
correct the address or configure the PC to receive IP information automatically.

2. Verify with your ISP that the DNS server specified for the PC is valid. Correct the address
or configure the PC to receive this information automatically.

3. Verify that a Network Address Translation rule has been defined on the ADSL2+ Ethernet
Router to translate the private address to your public IP address. The assigned IP address
must be within the range specified in the NAT rules (see User Guide, Chapter 4). Or,
configure the PC to accept an address assigned by another device (see “Quick Start Part 2
Configuring Your Computers”). The default configuration includes a NAT rule for all
dynamically assigned addresses within a predefined pool (see the instructions in Chapter 8
to view the address pool).

I forgot/lost my Web Configuration user ID or password.

Q8:

If you have not changed the password from the default, try using “admin” as both the

A8:

user ID and password. Otherwise, you can reset the device to the default configuration by
pressing the Reset button on the back panel of the device three times (using a pointed object
such as a pen tip). Then, type the default User ID and password shown above. WARNING:
Resetting the device removes any custom settings and returns all settings to their default
values.

My changes to Web Configuration are not being retained.

Q9.

Be sure to use the Commit function after any changes. This function is described on

A9.

page 47 of the User Guide.
