1.4 Get to know XRT-401E

Back Panel

The diagram below shows XRT-401E’s back panel. The router’s back panel is divided into three sections, LAN (1, 2, 3, 4), WAN and Reset:

1) Local Area Network (LAN)

XRT-401E’s 4 LAN ports are where you connect your LAN’s PCs, printer servers, hubs and switches etc.

2) Wide Area Network (WAN)

The WAN port is the segment connected to your xDSL or Cable modem and is linked to the Internet.

3)Reset

The Reset button allows you to do one of two things.

1)If problems occur with your router, press the router’s reset button with a pencil tip (for less than 3 seconds) and the router will re-boot itself, keeping your original configurations.

2)If problems persist or you experience extreme problems or you forgot your password, press the reset button for longer than 3 seconds and the router will reset itself to the factory default settings (warning: your original configurations will be replaced with the factory default settings)
