Figure 1 ZyAIR Side Panel and Connections

LABEL DESCRIPTION

LAN Use an Ethernet cable to connect at least one computer for initial ZyAIR configuration.

These ports are auto-negotiating (can connect at 10 or 100Mbps) and auto-crossover (automatically adjust to the type of Ethernet cable you use (straight-through or crossover)).

WAN Connect your cable/DSL modem to this port with the cable that came with your modem.

RESET You only need to use this button if you’ve forgotten the ZyAIR’s password. It returns the

ZyAIR to the factory defaults (password is 1234 and LAN IP address 192.168.1.1). Refer to the User’s Guide.

After you’ve made the connections connect the power cable to a power supply and look at the front panel LEDs.

POWER 12VDC

Connect the end of the included power adaptor (use only this adaptor) to this power socket.

Use only the included power adaptor.

2.2 The LED Display

The PWR LED turns steady on when the power adaptor is connected. The SYS LED blinks while performing system testing and then turns steady on if the testing is successful. The link LED and the ZyAIR LED turn steady on while the wireless card on the ZyAIR is working. The LAN and WAN LEDs turn on, if they are properly connected. Refer to the User’s Guide for more detailed LED descriptions.
