After you have logged on to your account and established an Internet connection, as explained later in section 9
“Configuring Your Broadband Connection,” check to see if the
INTERNET
LED on the front of the Router is
solid green. Solid green confirms that an Internet connection has been established. (Flashing green indicates the
presence of IP traffic.)
Congratulations! You have completed the installation. Now go to section 6.3 for instructions on connecting other
networking devices to your Router.
6.3
Connecting Other Networking Devices to Your VersaLink
Now that you have connected your VersaLink to your broadband network, you can connect Ethernet, USB, and
Wireless networking devices to your VersaLink, allowing for Internet connection throughout your home without
disrupting your cable or satellite television services. Refer to the following sections for connection and networking
instructions:
•
Section 6.3.1 explains how to connect Ethernet devices to your VersaLink
•
Section 6.3.2 explains how to network Wireless devices to your VersLink
•
Section 6.3.3 explains how to connect USB devices to your VersaLink
6.3.1
Connecting Ethernet Devices to Your VersaLink
To network computers in your home or office to VersaLink using an Ethernet installation, follow the steps below:
1.
Ensure that you have connected your Router to your broadband service using one of the installation methods
explained earlier in section 6.1 or 6.2.
2.
Obtain an Ethernet cable. Connect the Ethernet cable from any one of the four Ethernet jacks marked
E1, E2,
E3, E4
on the rear panel of the Router to the Ethernet port on your computer. Repeat this step to connect up to
three additional PCs to the Router. (If you’re not already using the Y-cable provided with your kit, you can use
the Y-cable—the jacks labeled PC/Ethernet, yellow—for this Ethernet installation.
NOTE:
1. If you are networking computers to VersaLink using Ethernet, you can plug in to any of the four LAN Ethernet
jacks on the Router’s rear panel; each jack serves as an Ethernet switch.
2. If you are using the E1/UPLINK jack for your broadband connection, you can network PCs to your VersaLink
via Ethernet using jacks E2, E3, or E4.
3. If you are networking a PC to VersaLink using USB, use only the E4/DATA jack on the rear of VersaLink.
3.
Check to see if the Router’s
ETHERNET
LED is solid green. Solid green indicates that the Ethernet
connection is functioning properly. Check the
ETHERNET
LED for each Ethernet jack to which you are
connected.
You have completed the connection. Now proceed to section 8 to access VersaLink’s Web pages.
