Chapter 1 Introduction
Rear Panel
The rear panel of the Router features seven ports (Coax, WAN Ethernet, LAN
Ethernet [4], and Power), as well as a Reset button and Power switch.
Coax Port
The Coax port connects the Router to the ISP or other devices using a
coaxial cable.
Reset Button
To restore the Router’s factory default settings, press and hold the Reset button
for approximately ten seconds. The reset process will start about ten seconds
after releasing the button. When the Router resets, all the lights on the front
panel turn off, and then some of the lights start flashing. The Router has com-
pleted its reset process when the Power light glows steadily green.
M
Caution: Do not unplug the Power cord from the Router dur-
ing the reset process. Doing so may result in the loss of the
Router’s configuration information. If this occurs, reset the
Router again.
WAN Ethernet Port
The WAN Ethernet port connects the Router to the ISP using an Ethernet cable.
LAN Ethernet Ports (4)
The LAN Ethernet ports connect devices to the Router via Ethernet cables to cre-
ate a local area network (LAN). The LAN Ethernet ports are 10/100 Mbps auto-
sensing ports, and either a straight-through or crossover Ethernet cable can be
used when connecting devices to the ports.
