Testing your Setup
Once you have connected your hardware and configured your
PCs, any computer on your LAN should be able to use the DSL
/Cable connection to access the Internet.
To test the connection, turn on the device, wait for 30 seconds
and then verify that the LEDs are illuminated as follows:
Table 1. LED Indicators
Label Color Function
POWER green On: device is powered on
Off: device is powered off
WLAN green On: WLAN link established and active
Blink: Valid Wireless packet being transferred
LAN green On: LAN link established and active
Off: No LAN link
Blink: Valid Ethernet packet being transferred
If the LEDs illuminate as expected, test your Internet connection
from a LAN computer. To do this, open your web browser, and
type the URL of any external website (such as
http://www.yahoo.com ). The LED labeled WAN should blink
rapidly and then appear solid as the device connects to the site.
If the LEDs do not illuminate as expected, you may need to
configure your Internet access settings using the information
provided by your ISP. For details, see
Internet Access . If the
LEDs still do not illuminate as expected or the web page is not
displayed, see
Troubleshooting Suggestions or contact your
ISP for assistance.
Default device settings
In addition to handling the xDSL / Cable modem connection to
your ISP, the Portable Repeater can provide a variety of
services to your network. The device is preconfigured with
default settings for use with a typical home or small office
network.
The table below lists some of the most important default settings;
these and other features are described fully in the subsequent
chapters. If you are familiar with network configuration, review
these settings to verify that they meet the needs of your network.
Follow the instructions to change them if necessary. If you are
unfamiliar with these settings, try using the device without
modification, or contact your ISP for assistance.
WARNING
We strongly recommend that you contact your ISP prior to
changing the default configuration.
