10/100 8-Port VPN Router

 

DMZ/Internet

Green. The DMZ/Internet LED lights up when the Router is connected to your cable or

 

DSL modem when used as an Internet port, and it lights up when the Router is

 

connected to the hub, switch, or public server when used as a DMZ port.

Internet

Green. The Internet LED lights up when the Router is connected to your cable or DSL

 

modem.

DMZ Mode

Green. The DMZ Mode LED lights up when the Router is using DMZ mode.

1-8 (LAN)

Green. The LAN LED serves two purposes. If the LED is continuously lit, the Router is

 

connected to a device through the corresponding port (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8). If the LED

 

is flashing, the Router is actively sending or receiving data over that port.

Reset Button

The Reset button can be used in one of two ways:

 

If the Router is having problems connecting to the Internet, press the Reset button for

 

just a second with a paper clip or a pencil tip. This is similar to pressing the Reset

 

button on your PC to reboot it.

 

If you are experiencing extreme problems with the Router and have tried all other

 

troubleshooting measures, press and hold in the Reset button for 30 seconds. This will

 

restore the factory defaults and clear all of the Router’s settings, such as port

 

forwarding or a new password.
