Chapter 3 Hardware Installation

3.2Connecting Your modem to Compex SGX3226

Connect one end of the modem cable to any port of Compex SGX3226. The other end of the modem cable is to be connected to your own ADSL/Cable modem. (Set up the modem for dial-up connection. You may need to refer to your respective modem’s manual for installation.)

NOTE

Connect Compex SGX3226 using one modem first. Once you have established an Internet connection, then add the additional modem as and when you needed.

3.3Connecting Your Compex SGX3226 to your Network

You may connect Compex SGX3226 via the RJ45 Ethernet port to an external hub/switch to increase the number of users for Internet access. Using a straight through UTP network cable, connect one end to Compex SGX3226 and the other to the network hub/switch.

Once all physical connections are established, turn on the power to the modem, Compex SGX3226, PC and the network switch.

The figure shows on Page 4 an example how Compex SGX3226 can be connected to an existing switch to increase the Internet access for the LAN users from just one dedicated Internet access to multiple accesses.

3.4Performing Power On Self Test (P.O.S.T.)

Compex SGX3226 has the ability to perform P.O.S.T. automatically upon power up. On successful power up, System Status LED on the front panel will lights up steadily in RED, indicating that Compex SGX3226 is running its Self Diagnostic Test. Once the LED turns green, Compex SGX3226 is then ready for operation.

NOTE

If the System Status LED does not light up in RED after powered up, you may need to reset your Compex SGX3226 by powering OFF and ON again. If it still fails, please contact your dealer for repair or replacement.
