If you can't connect
If the ADSL Wireless Firewall Router does not respond, check the following:
The ADSL Wireless Firewall Router is properly installed, LAN connec-
tion is OK, and it is powered ON. You can test the connection by using
the "Ping" command:
Open the MS-DOS window or command prompt window.
Enter the command:
ping 192.168.0.1
If no response is received, either the connection is not working, or
your PC's IP address is not compatible with the ADSL Wireless
Firewall Router's IP Address. (See next item.)
If your PC is using a fixed IP Address, its IP Address must be within the
range 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254 to be compatible with the ADSL
Wireless Firewall Router's default IP Address of 192.168.0.1. Also, the
Network Mask must be set to 255.255.255.0. See Chapter 4 - PC Con-
figuration for details on checking your PC's TCP/IP settings.
Ensure that your PC and the ADSL Wireless Firewall Router are on the
same network segment. (If you don't have a router, this must be the
case.)
Ensure you are using the wired LAN interface. The Wireless interface
can only be used if its configuration matches your PC's wireless set-
tings.
Setup Wizard
The first time you connect to the ADSL Wireless Firewall Router, the Setup Wizard will
run automatically. (The Setup Wizard will also run if the ADSL Wireless Firewall
Router's default settings are restored.)
1. Step through the Wizard until finished.
You need the data supplied by your ISP. Most connection methods require
some data input.
The common connection types are explained in the following table.
2. On the final screen of the Wizard, run the test and check that an Internet connec-
tion can be established.
3. If the connection test fails:
Check all connections, and the front panel LEDs.
Check that you have entered all data correctly.
