Verifying the Installation

When the router is configured correctly, it will place a call to the ISP automatically whenever a configured PC tries to access the Internet. The router disconnects from the ISP when the connection has been idle for a period of time. Therefore, the Dial-Up Networking, login, and disconnect processes are performed by the router.

To access the Internet, launch a browser application (that is, Microsoft® Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator). The B1 LED on the router illuminates, indicating that a call is being placed. Next, the LAN activity LEDs (TD and RD) blink, indicating communication between your router and your ISP. The browser then displays its opening page. This process may take up to a minute.

After about five minutes of inactivity, the router disconnects the call.

Troubleshooting Information

FirstGear cannot find your router:

•Check the Ethernet connection between your PC and router. The Link LED on your Ethernet card and the corresponding port LED on the router should be lit.

•Power cycle the router. Wait 1 minute before starting FirstGear.
