√ Verify that the power adapter is plugged securely into the electric outlet.
√ Verify that the power switch is placed in the “On” position.

b. If the LAN LED on the VisionNet 201ER is not solid GREEN⋯

√ Verify that the RJ-45 connection is secure on both the PC Ethernet port and RJ-45 port

on the VisionNet 201ER.

c. If the ADSL LED on the VisionNet 201ER is not solid GREEN within 2 minutes⋯

√ Check the RJ-11 connection on the LINE port of the VisionNet 201ER. Make sure that the RJ-11 is

securely connected to the LINE port on the VisionNet 201ER from the ADSL wall jack.

4. Question and Answer (Q &A)

Q1: Why do I need a filter on the telephone line attached to the ADSL service?
A1: Converting your regular phone into a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) can cause audible noises

(high pitched tones and static) when you try to talk on the
phone without a filter. You will need to install a filter on
each telephone or device that shares the DSL line to
eliminate this noise; phones or devices that share the
same telephone number as your ADSL service. Other
devices where a filter should be placed include answering
machines and fax machines. The filters will enable both
Internet access and normal phone use at the same time.

Q2: How do I connect the filter?
A2: Place the filter in jacks that share the same telephone number with the activated ADSL line.

Q3: When is a two-way adapter required?
A3: If your 201ER shares a jack with another telephone, you will need to install a two-way adapter. A

two-way adapter is not a filter; it merely allows two lines to connect into one jack. Plug the two-way
adapter into the wall jack, plug an in-line filter into one of the two jacks on the

two-way adaptor, and

then connect your telephone to the filter. The remaining jack on the two-way adaptor is used to

connect the 201ER to your ADSL service (a filter should not be used when connecting to your modem).

13

Q4: Unable to access the Internet.
A4:

⑴ Check first if the LAN LED on the front panel of 201ER is ON. When the LAN LED is not illuminated,

check if Ethernet cable is securely connected from the S-707 LAN connectors located on the rear
panel to the PC’s LAN card.

⑵ When the LINK LED is not solid green within 2 minutes, check your telephone line connection

between wall jack providing the ADSL signal to the Line port on the modem.

⑶ If both the LAN and Sync lights are ON, verify the settings of your PC. The 201ER will automatically

provide you an IP, Gateway, and DNS addresses. To check this setting on your Windows based PC,
Click Start - Settings - Network - TCP/IP - Properties in sequence and verify that the IP address is set
to "obtain an IP and DNS address Automatically" and the Gateway field should be blank.

Q5: The PWR LED is not ON.
A5:

⑴ Verify the power switch on the back of the 201ER is in the ON position.

⑵ Verify the connection is secure in the back of the unit and from the power source.

⑶ Verify that you are using the power supply provided with the 201ER.

⑷ If the above items have been verified, please contact your service provider.

14

Configuration Settings

If your service provider has configured your 201ER for the service, do not change these settings

unless instructed by your service provider.

All configuration and management for the 201ER is done via a Web browser. You can change
the 201ER settings with a web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape
Navigator.

If you purchased a 201ER Router modem, please refer to this section.
In router mode, the 201ER default configuration enables the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) server. The DHCP server is a network protocol that enables the 201ER to automatically
assign an IP address to individual computers attached to your 201ER LAN interface.

The following describes how to access your 201ER by setting your PC as a DHCP client. You may
also access your 201ER by statically assigning an IP address to your PC. If you choose this method,
the IP address configured in your PC must be in the same subnet as the 201ER.

1. Configuring Your PC to Access the 201ER

If your PC has DHCP client enabled, simply power on your 201ER before starting your PC. The
Ethernet adapter will be assigned an IP address from the DHCP sever. You may also use Window
programs winipcfg.exe or ipconfig.exe to release the old address and renew to request a new address.

If you want to configure your PC to enable DHCP client, configure your LAN IP address to obtain an IP
address automatically. The following steps describe how to configure a Windows based device to
obtain an IP address automatically. (Please consult your OS user’s manual if you have a non-Windows
based device).

DMZ:

DMZ is an acronym for demilitarized zone. It is a common area between two different networks, such as
the Internet and a secure private network. When enabled, all traffic initiated from the Internet to the
201ER will be directed to 1 defined IP address on the LAN. Some companies prefer, for security reasons,
to use a DMZ to locate secure servers that will be accessed by outside trusted entities instead of placing
those servers on their private network. That way they can limit the protocols that can be used to access
their private network, but still share information such as sales leads, client records or inventory
information. The servers located on the DMZ are more secure than if they were directly on the Internet.
DMZ is also used for Internet Gaming applications.

DHCP Relay:

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. In addition to the DHCP server feature, the
201ER is enhanced to support the DHCP relay function. When it is configured as DHCP relay, it is
responsible for forwarding the requests and responses negotiated between the DHCP clients and the
remote DHCP server.

IGMP Proxy:

The IGMP Proxy mechanism was added to the Unidirectional Link Routing feature to permit hosts that
are not directly connected to a downstream router to be able to join a multicast group sourced from an
upstream network.

DNS Proxy:

When enabled, the 201ER acts as a DNS server for internal clients. When disabled, the user must enter
DNS addresses within the devices TCP/IP properties.

PPP Reconnect on WAN Access:

If you entered a disconnect timeout value in the Quick Start or WAN menu, the PPP session will connect
upon a URL request. If the PPP reconnect on WAN access was enabled and you enter a URL, you
establish a PPP session.

PPP Half Bridge:

Allows the modem to authenticate to the PPP server and hand off a public IP address to the PC.

IGMP:

Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) was primarily designed for hosts on multi-access networks
to inform locally attached routers of their group membership information. IGMP allows hosts to
communicate their desired group memberships to their local queries router to receive any datagram’s
sent to this router and targeted to a group with a specific IP multicast address.
