3. Connect the power adapter from the modem’s 12V 1A DC port into the
electrical outlet.
4. Press ON.
5. If your DSL service is active, the DSL and Internet lights on the front of your
modem will turn to solid green and you should proceed to Step 6. If not, please
try the modem in another telephone jack.
6. If you need to wire another device into the modem, use another Ethernet cable.
Plug one end of the Ethernet cable from the computer’s Ethernet port and then
plug the other end into an available Ethernet port in the modem. There are
four available Ethernet ports on your modem.
Important Note: If you are using
an ACN Video Phone or Phone Adapter, connect your device to Port 4 for best results.
Connecting to the Internet
For wireless connections, you may use your computer to scan for wireless networks.
When you see your network, click on “Connect.” Your default network name (SSID) is
“ACNBB”. If you wish to change your network name, please refer to the User Manual
located on www.acn.net.
If you do plan to use wireless, remember that unlike a wired network that uses cable
to connect, wireless networks use radio waves. This means that other people can
connect to your network without your permission. To prevent this, you may want to
use the security measures that are built into your ACN Wireless Modem.
If you do not want to use the wireless capability at this time, you should go into the
wireless setup screens as shown in the User Manual and uncheck the box next to
“Wireless”. Follow the steps below to log in to the modem:
1. Open your browser
2. Enter 10.100.2.1 in the address field and then press Enter. This opens the
modem login webpage.
3. Enter the Username and Password for user access to the modem.
a. Username: user
b. Password: password
(Disabling wireless capabilities will cause the wireless light to go out.)
ACN highly recommends that you enable security for your wireless network. At a
minimum, you should enable WEP Encryption. To do this, log into your modem and
perform the following steps:
1. Under the Advance section of the menu to the left of the screen, click Wireless
and then click Security.
2. Click the drop-down box labeled as WEP Encryption. Select Enable.
3. Select either 64-bit or 128-bit for the Encryption Strength. 128-bit encryption
provides a higher level of security, but you must refer to your wireless device
documentation to determine if it supports 128-bit WEP encryption.
