5 Hardware Installation

The router can be placed anywhere in your office or home. No special wiring or cooling requirements are necessary. However, you should comply with the following guidelines:

•Place your router on a flat, horizontal surface

•Be sure to place your router away from any heating devices

•Avoid dusty and/or humid areas

1)Setup LAN Connection: Connect an Ethernet cable from your computer’s Ethernet port to one of the LAN ports of the router.

2)Step WAN Connection: Insert one end of the Ethernet cable into the WAN port on the back panel of your router, and the other end to the cable/DSL modem. You may connect an analog modem (optional) to function as a backup connection.

3)Power Up: The router automatically enters the self-testing phase once the power cord is plugged into a wall outlet. When in self-testing phase, the M1 indicator LED illuminates for about five seconds to indicate proper connection. The M1 LED flashes twice as soon as the self-testing phase is completed. After the completion of the self-testing phase, the M1 LED should flash once per second to indicate that the router is functioning properly.
