2.1  Hardware  Setup   

Follow the instructions below to complete the hardware setup. 

BACK PANEL 

 
The figure below shows the back panel of the device. 

1.2

 

 

 

 

Power ON 

Press the power button to the OFF position (OUT). Connect the power adapter to the 
power port. Attach the power adapter to a wall outlet or other AC source. Press the 
power button to the ON position (IN). If the Power LED displays as expected then 
the device is ready for setup (see section 

2.2 LED

 Indicators). 

 

Caution 1:

 If the device fails to power up, or it malfunctions, first verify that the 

power cords are connected securely and then power it on again. If the 
problem persists, contact technical support. 

Caution 2:

 Before servicing or disassembling this equipment, disconnect all power 

cords and telephone lines from their outlets. 

Reset Button 

Restore the default parameters of the device by pressing the Reset button for 5 to 
10 seconds. After the device has rebooted successfully, the front panel should 
display as expected (see section 

2.2 LED

 Indicators for details).     

 

NOTE:

      If pressed down for more than 20 seconds, the NEXUSLINK 3111u will go 

into a firmware update state (CFE boot mode).    The firmware can then 
be updated using an Internet browser pointed to the default IP address. 

Ethernet (LAN) Ports 

Use 10/100 BASE-T RJ-45 cables to connect up to four network devices. These ports 
are auto-sensing MDI/X; so either straight-through or crossover cable can be used. 
 

Gb ETH Port 

Use RJ45 straight through or crossover MDI/X cable to connect to Ethernet WAN.
