VisionNet 202ER ADSL Ethernet Router User’s Guide

Testing Your Installation 

The Quick Start process you just completed should enable any 
computer on your LAN to use the VisionNet 202ER’s ADSL 
connection to access the Internet. 

To test the connection, turn on the device, wait about 30 seconds, 
and then verify that its LEDs are illuminated as shown in 

Table 2

.

Table 2. LED Indicators 

This LED: 

...should be: 

PWR 

Solid green to indicate that the device is turned on. If this 
light is not on, check the power cable attachment. 

LINK LAN 

Solid green to indicate that the device can communicate 
with your LAN. 

SYNC 

Solid green to indicate that the device has successfully 
established a connection with your DSL provider. 

Tx/Rx

Flashing when the device is  receiving data from the 
Internet. It may be unlit, flashing, or appear solid 
depending on the current activity. 

PPP

When using PPPoE or PPPoA, this LED will become solid 
green upon successful authentication. 

ACT

Solid green when the unit passes self-diagnostics. 

If the LEDs illuminate as expected, test your Internet connection 
from a LAN computer : Open your web browser, and type the URL 
of any external website (such as 

http://www.yahoo.com

). The LED 

labeled WAN ACT should be blinking rapidly and may appear solid 
as the 

device

 connects to the site.
