Safety Warnings

Ethernet Ports Caution

The Ethernet ports are not designed to be connected to a Public

Telecommunication Network.

Handling Precautions

All devices must be handled with certain precautions to avoid damage due

to the accumulation of static charge. Although input protection circuitry has

been incorporated into the devices to minimize the effect of this static build

up, proper precautions should be taken to avoid exposure to electrostatic

discharge during handling and mounting.

Caution: Maintain a separation distance of at least 20 cm (8

inches) between the transmitter’s antenna and the body of the

user or nearby persons. The modem is not designed for, nor

intended to be, used in applications within 20 cm (8 inches) of the

RouteFinder RF825 Series Quick Start Guide

Getting Started

This section of the Quick Start Guide covers cabling the RouteFinder,

setting up TCP/IP communications in order to connect to the Internet

through a wireless provider's service, activating a wireless account, and

connecting to the Internet. See the User Guide for detailed information on

the RouteFinder software program.

Cabling Your RouteFinder

To use your RouteFinder, make the appropriate connections to PCs, a

cable or xDSL modem, an analog modem, and AC power. For AP models,

attach the antennas.

1. Turn the power off on all network devices (PCs, cable modems,

DSL modems, analog modems, and the RouteFinder).

2. Plug the RJ-45 cable into the Ethernet port on the PC and the

LAN port on the RouteFinder. (If you have more than one PC,

connect the others in the same way to the other LAN ports).

3. Connect the provided power supply cable to the 9 volt power port

on the back of the RouteFinder, and plug the other end of the

power supply into an AC power outlet as shown.

4. For the RF825-AP, attach the cellular antenna and the AP

antenna. Note: Be sure to locate this appliance where there is

wireless coverage.

5. If a DSL or cable modem is desired, connect a network cable

from the DSL modem or cable modem to the WAN port on the

RouteFinder.
