Introducing the Router

INTRODUCING THE ROUTER

This Guide takes you through the basic steps necessary to install and configure

your OfficeConnect ADSL Wireless 54 Mbps 11g Firewall Router, and establish

a connection from your computers to the Internet. Throughout this Guide, the

OfficeConnect ADSL Wireless 54 Mbps 11g Firewall Router is simply referred

to as the Router.

Note: 3Com recommends that you use wired (Ethernet) connection to perform

the initial setup.

• One OfficeConnect ADSL Wireless 54 Mbps 11g Firewall Router

• One 12V power adapter for use with the Router

• Four rubber feet

• One RJ11 cable

• One CD-ROM containing the User Guide

• This Installation Guide

• One Support and Safety Information Sheet

• One Warranty Flyer

Before starting, ensure that:

• You already have an ADSL broadband account.

• You have a computer that has an Ethernet connection available and is

already correctly configured for communication with the Internet. Your

computer must be able to connect to the Internet via the modem, and

must have a Web browser installed.

• There are no other DHCP server devices on your local network that are

responsible for allocating IP addresses to your computers and other network

connected devices. Your Router will perform this function by default.

• If you require wireless access, you have a computer that has a wireless

802.11b or 802.11g adapter card installed.

If one or more of these conditions are not met, refer to the OfficeConnect

ADSL Wireless 54Mbps 11g Firewall Router User Guide provided on the

accompanying CD-ROM for further guidance.

FRONT PANEL

1. Alert LED amber

This LED has a number of functions:

• It will flash rapidly during the power up self test. If it then remains on the unit self test has failed

(refer to the User Guide).

• It will flash rapidly during software upgrade.

• It will flash rapidly during the reset to Factory defaults. If the reset button on the rear panel has been

used to reset the unit to Factory defaults the Alert LED will then slow flash until power is removed.

• It will flash on for 2 seconds when the firewall detects a hacker attack.

2. Power LED green

If the LED is on, it indicates that the Router is powered on.

3. SYNC LED green

If the LED is on, it indicates that the DSL connection is present. This LED flashes during configuration at

power up.

4. Online LED green

If the LED is on, it indicates that your Username/Password has been authenticated successfully with your ISP.

5. Wireless LAN (WLAN) Status LED green

If the LED is on, it indicates that wireless networking is enabled. If the LED is flashing, the link is OK and

data is being transmitted or received. If the LED is off, the wireless LAN has been disabled on the Router,

or there is a problem (refer to the User Guide).

6. LAN Status LED green

If the LED is on, the link between the port and the next piece of network equipment is OK. If the LED is

flashing, the link is OK and data is being transmitted or received. If the LED is off, nothing is connected,

or the connected device is switched off, or there is a problem with the connection (refer to the User

Guide). The port will automatically adjust to the correct speed and duplex.

7. Wireless Antennae

For optimum wireless coverage, place the antennae in a ‘V’ position.

8. Ethernet Ports

Using suitable RJ45 cables, you can connect your Router to a computer, or to any other piece of equip-

ment that has an Ethernet connection (for example, a hub or a switch). These ports have an automatic

MDI/MDIX feature, which means you can use either a straight-through or a crossover cable.

To reboot the Router, press the reset button for 1 second. If you want to reset the Router to factory

defaults or if you cannot access the Web management interface (for example, due to a lost password),

press the reset button for 5 seconds.

10. Power Adapter Socket

Only use the 12V power adapter that is supplied with the Router. Do not use any other adapter.

11. ADSL

The ADSL port is used to connect the Router to the ADSL wall socket connection. Use an RJ11 cable to

connect from the ADSL port to the ADSL wall connection.

Positioning and Installing Your Router

1. POSITIONING AND INSTALLING YOUR ROUTER

WARNING: Please read the ‘Important Safety Information’ section in

the Support and Safety Information sheet before you start.

VORSICHT: Bitte lesen Sie den Abschnitt „Wichtige

Sicherheitsinformationen” sorgfältig durch, bevor Sie das Gerät in

Betrieb nehmen.

AVERTISSEMENT: Lisez attentivement le paragraphe “Remarques

relatives à la sécurité” avant de mettre votre routeur sous tension.

When positioning your Router, ensure that:

• The Router is centrally located to the wireless computers that will connect

to it. A suitable location might be on top of a high shelf or similar furni-

ture to optimize wireless connections to computers in both horizontal and

vertical directions, allowing coverage throughout.

• It is out of direct sunlight and away from sources of heat.

• Cabling is away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures, and

sources of electrical noise such as radios, transmitters and broadband

amplifiers.

• To meet FCC radiation exposure regulations, the Router should be located

in a position that maintains a minimum distance of 20 cm (8 inches) from

any personnel (refer to the User Guide for details).

• Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the unit.

• Air flow around the unit and through the vents on the side of the case is

not restricted. 3Com recommends that you provide a minimum of 25 mm

(1 in.) clearance.

Use the four self-adhesive rubber feet to prevent your Router from moving

around on your desk or when stacking with other flat top units. Only stick

the feet to the marked areas at each corner of the underside of your Router.

Positioning and Installing Your Router

1. Connect the power adapter to the Router and wait for the WLAN LED to

illuminate.

2. Ensure that your computer is switched on.

3. Connect your computer to one of the 10/100 LAN ports on the Router.

The LAN Port Status LED should turn green.

4. Connect the RJ11 cable from the ADSL port on the Router to your ADSL

socket on the wall.

To share your Router with more than four users, you will need an additional

hub or switch. Connect a LAN port on your Router to the hub or switch (for

example, OfficeConnect Dual Speed Switch 8).

Installing a Splitter and Micro-filter

2. INSTALLING A SPLITTER AND MICRO-FILTER

A splitter and micro-filter allow you to use your Router and telephone at the

same time. The splitter connects to the ADSL wall connection, and then pro-

vides two connectors:

•An RJ11 connector which connects to the Router with the RJ11 cable

•A telephone jack connector which can be connected to your telephone

There must also be a micro-filter between the splitter and the telephone. The

micro-filter ensures that DSL data signal does not interfere with the telephone

voice signal. A micro-filter must be installed inline with each telephone to

prevent signal interference. Splitters are now available with built in microfil-

ters, which simplifies the setup as shown in the diagram below. Splitters and

micro-filters can be obtained from your ISP or a computer store.

Connecting to Your ISP

3. CONNECTING TO YOUR ISP

Before you can configure the Router, you need to know the IP allocation

method used by your ISP. There are four different methods that the Router

can use to connect to the Internet, as described below. For all methods, you

need to know the VPI (Virtual Path Identifier), VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier)

and the Encapsulation (LLC or VC Mux). The Router defaults for the VPI and

VCI should cater for most ISPs. Your ISP can provide you with the required

information.

1. PPPoE

To configure the gateway, you will need to know the user name and password

to log in to your ISP account. If you have been using a PPPoE client on

your computer, you can disable it as it is no longer needed. If your ISP

provides you with a static IP address, enter this IP address in the Internet

Settings section of the Router Web interface. Otherwise, your ISP will

automatically assign your Router an IP address.

2. PPPoA

This is similar to PPPoE but is used mainly in the UK. To configure the

gateway, you will need to know the user name and password to log in to

your ISP account. If your ISP provides you with a static IP address, enter

this IP address in the Internet Settings section of the Router Web interface.

Otherwise, your ISP will automatically assign your Router an IP address.

3. Bridge Mode for a Single Computer (RFC 1483 Bridging Mode)

In this mode, the Router is set into a bridging mode to connect the LAN

and WAN networks. Traffic is limited between the two networks based on

hardware addresses and so limits the LAN side to a single computer.

4. Routing Mode over ATM (RFC 1483 Bridging Mode)

Routing mode over ATM means that the Router has a fixed IP address to

connect to the Internet. Your ISP will provide the Router with a fixed IP

address, the subnet mask and the ISP’s gateway address. You need to

enter this information in the Internet Settings section of the Router Web

interface.

Running the Setup Wizard

4. RUNNING THE SETUP WIZARD

1. If you have not already done so, restart your computer.

2. Launch your Web browser and try to connect to the Router by typing the

following URL in the address or location bar: http://192.168.1.1. If you

can access the login page, then your computer has correctly received an IP

address from the Router.

3. Log in using the default password <admin>. The Wizard will attempt to

launch automaticallyIf it fails, select Wizard from the menu.

Where possible, the Wizard will recommend settings for most parameters.

However, there are some settings that you must provide. Most of these will

have been provided to you by your ISP when you set your account up.

When the Wizard has completed, attempt to browse to an Internet Web site,

such as www.3com.com. If you can successfully access this site, then you

computer and Router have been configured correctly.
