Chapter 2:Getting to Know the

4-Port EtherFast®Cable/DSL

Router

Your Router’s ports, where network cables are connected, are located on the

rear panel of your Router.

WAN The WAN (Wide Area Network) port is where you

connect your RJ-45 Internet connection through a

cable or DSL modem. Your modem connection

will not work from any other port.

Ports 1-4 These four LAN (Local Area Network) ports con-

nect to network devices, such as PCs, print servers,

and remote hard drives. If Port 1is being used, the

Uplink port will not work because these two shared

ports have internally shared wiring.

Uplink The Uplink port is used to expand your network by

connecting to another switch or hub. Uplinking to a

switch or a hub is done by simply running a cable

from the Uplink port to the other device. See the

Uplinking: Connecting More Devices to the Router

section for more on uplinking.

If the Uplink port is being used, Port 1 will not

work.

Power The Power port is where you will connect the

power adapter.

The WAN Indicators

Link Green. The Link LED lights up when a successful connec-

tion is made between the Router and your broadband device

or network.

Act Green. The Act LED flickers when the Router is sending or

receiving data over the broadband WAN port (to the

Internet).

Diag Red. The Diag LED lights up when the Router goes through

its self-diagnosis mode during every boot-up. It will turn off

upon successful completion of the diagnosis.

If this LED stays on for an abnormally long period of time,

see “Appendix A: Troubleshooting.”

The Reset Button*

The Reset button can be used in one of two ways.

1. If your Router is having problems connecting to the Internet, press the Reset

button for just a moment with a paper clip or a pencil tip. This clears up any

jammed connections, and is similar to pressing the Reset button on your PC

to reboot it.

2. If you are experiencing extreme problems with your Router and have tried

all other troubleshooting measures, press the Reset Button and hold it down

until the red Diag LED on the front panel turns on and off completely.

This will restore factory defaults and clear all of the Router’s settings, includ-

ing the IP addresses you entered.

* The Reset Button is located on the front panel of the 4-Port Router, and the rear panels of the 3-

Port Router and the 1-Port Router.

Power Green.The Power LED lights up when the Router is powered

on.

Link/Act Green. The Link/Act LED serves two purposes. If the LED

is continuously lit, the Router is successfully connected to a

device through the corresponding port (1, 2, 3or 4). If the

LED is flickering, the Router is actively sending or receiving

data over that port. Port 1 is lit when using the Uplink port.

Full/Col Green. The Full/Col LED also serves two purposes. If this

LED is lit up continuously, the connection made through the

corresponding port is running in Full Duplex mode. If the

LED flickers, the connection is experiencing collisions.

Infrequent collisions are normal.

If this LED flickers too often, there may be a problem with

your connection. See “Appendix A: Troubleshooting” if you

encounter this problem.

100 Orange. The 100 LED lights up when a successful 100 Mbps

connection is made through the corresponding port.

If this LED does not light up, then your connection speed is

10 Mbps.

The Crossover Switch

When “uplinking,” or connecting two pieces of network hardware together,

such as a hub and a switch, a general rule of thumb is to plug one end of a

network cable into a straight-through port, and the other end into a crossover

port. Standard ports are straight-through ports, and uplink ports are crossover

ports.

powered on.

Important: The chart in Figure 3-2 is for reference purposes

only. Every network is different. If you do not make a connec-

tion to a hub or switch by using the settings above, change the

position of the Crossover Switch.

Chapter 3:Getting to Know the

1-Port EtherFast Cable/DSL

Router

The rear panel of the Router is where all of the Router’s cabling connections

are made, and where you can reset or configure the Router’s LAN port.

WAN The WAN (Wide Area Network) port is where you

connect your RJ-45 Internet connection through a

cable or DSL modem. Your modem connection

will not work from any other port.

LAN The LAN (Local Area Network) port is where you

connect your Router to a PC, hub, or switch. If you

have more than one PC, connect an Ethernet hub or

switch to your Router, and then connect your PCs to

that hub or switch.

Power The Power port is where you will connect the

power adapter.

Link/Act Green. The Link/Act LED serves two purposes. If the LED

is continuously lit, the Router is successfully connected to a

device through the LAN port. If the LED is flickering, the

Router is actively sending or receiving data through the LAN

port.

Full/Col Green. The Full/Col LED also serves two purposes. If this

LED remains lit, a LAN port connection is being successful-

ly maintained. If the LED flickers, the connection is experi-

encing collisions. Infrequent collisions are normal.

If this LED flickers too often, there may be a problem with

your connection. See “Appendix A: Troubleshooting” if you

encounter this problem.

10/100 Orange. The 10/100 LED lights up when a successful

100 Mbps connection is made through the corresponding

port.

If a connection is running at 10 Mbps, the 10/100 LED will

not light up.

The WAN Indicators

Link Green. The Link LED lights up when a successful connec-

tion is made between the Router and your broadband device

or network.

Act Green. The Act LED flickers when the Router is sending or

receiving data over the broadband WAN port.

Diag Red. The Diag LED lights up when the Router goes through

its self-diagnostic mode. It will turn off upon successful

completion of the diagnosis.

If this LED stays on for an abnormally long period of time,

see “Appendix A: Troubleshooting.”

Chapter 4:Getting to Know the

3-Port EtherFast Cable/DSL

Router

Ports 1-3 These three LAN ports connect to your PCs, hubs,

switches, print servers, or any other devices with an

Ethernet port.

Uplink The Uplink port connects to another hub or switch

for port expansion when you run out of open ports

for your network devices. Since the Uplink port and

the standard port right next to it share internal wiring,

you can only use one of the two ports at a time.

WAN The WAN (Wide Area Network) port is where you

connect your RJ-45 Internet connection through a

cable or DSL modem. Your modem connection

will not work from any other port.

Power The Power port is where you will connect the

power adapter.

USB The USB port (Type B - slave) can connect to a

USB-ready PC or a USB hub. This allows you to

enjoy an immediate, plug-and-play connection with-

out even installing a network adapter for your PC.

To work with USB ports, your PC must be running

Windows 98, 2000, Millennium, or XP.

Router” section.

Power Green. The Power LED lights up green when the Router is

powered on.

Link/Act Green. The Link/Act LED serves two purposes. If the LED

is continuously lit, the Router is successfully connected to a

device through the corresponding RJ-45 port (1, 2, or 3). If

the LED flickers, then that port is sending or receiving data

to and from the network.

Full/Col Green. The Full/Col LED also serves two purposes. If this

LED is continuously lit, the connection made through the

corresponding port is successfully running in Full Duplex

mode. If the LED is flickering, the connection is experien-

cing collisions. Infrequent collisions are normal.

If this LED flickers too often, there may be a problem with

your connection. See “Appendix A: Troubleshooting” if you

have problems.

100 Orange. The 100 LED lights up when a successful 100 Mbps

connection is made through the corresponding port. If this

LED does not light up, then your connection speed is

10 Mbps.

This USB icon denotes the presence of a USB port or connector.

Your 3-Port Router comes with a USB cable that has two different types of con-

nectors. TypeA, the master connector, is shaped like a rectangle and plugs into

your PC’s USB port. Type B, the slave connector, resembles a square and con-

nects to the USB port on the rear panel of your Router.

USB Compatibility with Your PC

To use the USB port on the 3-Port Router, you must have Windows 98, 2000,

Millennium, or XP installed on your PC. USB cannot run in a Windows 95 or NT

environment.

Also, your PC must have a USB port installed and enabled. Some PCs may have a dis-

abled USB port. If your port doesn’t seem to be working, there may be jumpers on the

motherboard or a menu option in the BIOS to enable a PC’s USB port.

Other motherboards have USB interfaces, but no ports. You can purchase and install

a USB-ready card at your local computer store. See your PC’s user guide for instruc-

tions.

USB Type A USB Type B

Important: USB ports do not work on PCs running

Windows 95 or Windows NT.
