SmartShare® User Manual

Q:After powering on the SmartShare, the WAN connection to the ISP is not established.

A:First, verify that everything is correctly connected. It may take a few minutes for the WAN connection to the ISP to stabilize; if it isn’t established after a few minutes, verify that the configuration in the WAN menu is correct. If it still doesn’t work, disconnect the SmartShare and use a laptop to verify that the connection from the ISP works.

Q:Users with peer-to-peer applications have problems accessing the Internet.

A:Configure the peer-to-peer application to use fewer simultaneous flows (a.k.a. connections or sessions).

Q: The administrator password for the SmartShare is lost.

A:Use the Serial port to enable the default username and password for 5 minutes, then login via the web and set a new password. Refer to “Using the Serial Port”.

Q: The SmartShare can not be accessed any more.

A:Use the Serial port to restore the factory default settings. Refer to “Using the Serial Port”.

Q: Some of the computers on the local network can not access the Internet.

A:If a device with a DHCP server is wrongly connected to the LAN, the computers on the LAN may get an incorrect configuration from the unauthorized DHCP server. Most routers and wireless access points have a DHCP server on their LAN ports. Run the command ipconfig on a computer having access problems. If it shows an IP address outside the range configured in the SmartShare built-in DHCP server, a device with a DHCP server is wrongly connected to the LAN. Locate the device and disconnect it from the LAN.

Q:A user needs a public IP address, but the SmartShare is in NAT Routing mode.

A:Public IP addresses can be added using the “Additional LAN Subnets” feature.

Q: The SmartShare has blocked access for a peer-to-peer user.

A:The SmartShare does not block access for peer-to-peer users. However, the peer- to-peer user may have exceeded the number of allowed concurrent flows accepted by the SmartShare Flow Manager, and it has determined to start limiting the number of flows for this user, in order to protect the other users. Ask the peer-to-peer user to wait for three hours until the flows have been released.

	DT models	RM models
Typical	12 Watt	24 Watt
Maximum	15 Watt	35 Watt
Typical annual power consumption	105 kWh	210 kWh

The consumption at the primary side of the power supply, i.e. at the 110-240V plug, is shown in the table above. The annual cost of electricity for the SmartShare can be estimated by multiplying the price of electricity (per kWh) with the typical annual power consumption of the installed SmartShare model.
