x About this document StormPort 401 eSled Modem Requirements The StormPort 401 eSled Modem has specific requirements. Please insure that all of the information and equipment is available prior to the installation procedure. The requirements are as follows: Requirement Description StormPort 401 eSled Modem Service Once you have purchased the modem directly or through a distributor, contact your local Internet service provider (ISP) and subscribe to highspeed Internet service.
1-11 Installing the StormPort 401 eSled Modem 1- This chapter describes the StormPort 401 eSled Modem and contains the installation procedures for the modem and support equipment. Chapter contents This chapter includes the following information. Table 1-1.
1-12 Installing the StormPort 401 eSled Modem The StormPort 401 eSled Modem The modem is used with an Ethernet-configured PC and an ordinary phone line to access the Internet or corporate intranet at multi-megabit speeds. The Modem permits simultaneous voice (or analog data) transmission on the same telephone line. The standard telephone cable provided in the installation kit can be used to connect a telephone, fax, or answering machine directly to your Modem.
Installing the StormPort 401 eSled Modem 1-13 Materials Included with the StormPort 401 eSled Modem The modem contains standard RJ-11 telephone and jack interfaces to connect the existing voice facility, and a 10Base-T Ethernet RJ-45 interface to connect the Ethernet cable from the end-user PC. The following table shows the components included in the Modem package. If you are missing any item, contact your product distributor for a replacement. Table 1 -2. List of Materials.
1-14 Installing the StormPort 401 eSled Modem Task: Installing the Modem Note: Some PCs and laptops require an adapter between the RJ-45 Ethernet cable and the Ethernet connector on the PC/laptop (the adapter is often a round, 8-pin connector). Step Action 1 2 Make sure all of the StormPort 401 eSled Modem equipment is available before proceeding. The modem is connected with an RJ-11 modular phone line cord to the telephone wall jack.
Installing the StormPort 401 eSled Modem 1-15 6 7 8 If necessary, secure any slack or loose RJ-11 cord using the enclosed tie clamps. Connect the rounded plug end of the power supply cord into the 5V AC connector on the rear of the modem. Plug the power supply into wall outlet. This completes the modem physical installation. At this point, the Link and Data Status indicator lights should be green.
1-16 Installing the StormPort 401 eSled Modem Modem Indicators Status and Activity Indicators The side eSled Modem has two status and activity indicators. The LINK LED indicates a connection between the eSled modem and the computer has been established. The DATA LED indicates data transfers between the eSled modem and computer are taking place. Revision 1.
Installing the StormPort 401 eSled Modem 1-17 Additional telephones on the modem phone line The eSled Modem is used to connect a computer and telephone to the same line, providing simultaneous voice/high-speed data service. Telephones or answering devices connected directly to the eSled Modem do not require external telephone filters. The eSled Modem has a built-in voiceband filter on the telephone connection to insure that the signal noise of the data traffic does not interfere with voice conversations.
1-18 Installing the StormPort 401 eSled Modem Task: Installing the Desk Mount Filter Follow these instructions precisely to install the Desk Mount Filter. If the telephone filter is installed incorrectly (reversed), the filter will not allow voice signals to pass. (See Figure 1-1, Desk Mount Filter Connections.) Step Action 1 2 Check for a dial tone. Disconnect the telephone line cord from the wall jack and insert it into the jack on the desk filter.
Installing the StormPort 401 eSled Modem 1-19 Task: Installing the Wall Mount Filter Follow these instructions precisely to install the Wall Mount Filter. If the telephone filter is installed incorrectly (reversed), the filter will not allow voice signals to pass. (See Figure 1-2, Wall Mount Filter Installation.) Step Action 1 Check for a dial tone. 2 Remove the telephone from its wall mount by pushing it upward and pulling it away from the mounting pins.
1-20 Installing the StormPort 401 eSled Modem Task: Installing the Ethernet Port The Ethernet Port is an Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 plug on one end and an RJ-45 receptacle in a molded plastic housing on the other, as shown below: The Ethernet Port is ideally suited for installations where the reach of the eSled Modem needs to be extended. The user simply connects to the RJ-45 connector on the Ethernet port rather than the ethernet port on the eSled Modem.
A-21 Appendix A: Troubleshooting A- Table A-1. Modem Troubleshooting Problem Troubleshooting No Modem Power/Power Light Off Make sure there is power to the outlet. Check the connection to the modem.
