n setuP your loCal area network (lan)
Your computer should be connected to a port on a network switch, and the network switch
connected to the LAN port of the Cortexa. You will use standard Category 5, or better,
cables to do this. The link light for each port will be lit when you are properly connected
and all devices are turned on. A direct connection may also be made from the Cortexa LAN
to a Computer, however this requires Cat5 crossover cable.
n start uP sequenCe
Power up your broadband modem rst and wait approximately one minute for it to
complete diagnostics as indicated by the panel lights. If you have been connected
to another router previously, make sure to leave the modem power off for 1 to 2
minutes to refresh the router table.
After your modem is ready, start the Cortexa by pushing the power button. Wait
approximately 2 minutes for the operating system to load.
Start your Computer. When ready, open an instance of your preferred Internet
browser i.e. Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, etc.
n logging into the Cortexa
The Cortexa factory default settings issue DHCP addresses for the default gateway IP range
that is 192.168.10.100 to 192.168.10.150. If your computer is congured to receive a
DHCP address then you should have received an address in that range. If it is not congured
to receive a DHCP address, then you can manually set your IP address. Defaults for manual
TCP/IP conguration are as follows:
IP Address 192.168.10.x, with x being any number between 2 and 99
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.10.1
DNS Server 192.168.10.1
Open your browser and enter the following into the address bar of your browser:
http://cortexa. This will take you to the login page. If not, try using http://192.168.10.1
If this does not work please see the troubleshooting section in this Owners Guide.
