ABOUT THIS GUIDE
1 INTRODUCING THE ROUTER Welcome to the world of networking with 3Com®. In the modern business environment, communication and sharing information is crucial. Computer networks have proved to be one of the fastest modes of communication but, until recently, only large businesses could afford the networking advantage. OfficeConnect Cable/DSL Router The OfficeConnect Cable/DSL Router is designed to provide a cost-effective means of sharing a single broadband Internet connection amongst several computers.
CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCING THE ROUTER Figure 1 Example Network Without a Router When you use the Router in your network (Figure 2), it becomes your connection to the Internet. Connections can be made directly to the Router, or to an OfficeConnect Switch or Hub, expanding the number of computers you can have in your network.
Router Advantages Router Advantages Package Contents 13 The advantages of the Router include: ■ Shared Internet connection for wired computers.
CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCING THE ROUTER Minimum System and Component Requirements Front Panel Your Router requires that the computer(s) and components in your network be configured with at least the following: ■ A computer with an operating system that supports TCP/IP networking protocols (for example Windows 95/98/NT/Me/2000/XP, Unix, Mac OS 8.5 or higher). ■ An Ethernet 10Mbps or 10/100 Mbps NIC for each computer to be connected to the four-port switch on your Router.
Front Panel 15 In each of these cases, wait until the Router has completed the current operation and the alert LED is Off. Flashing slowly - The Router has completed the Reset to Factory Defaults process, and is waiting for you to reset the unit. To do this, remove power, wait 10 seconds and then re-apply power. The Router will then enter the start-up sequence and resume normal operation.
CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCING THE ROUTER Rear Panel The rear panel (Figure 4) of the Router contains four LAN ports, one Ethernet Cabler/DSL port, and a power adapter socket. Figure 4 Router - Rear Panel 5 8 6 7 5 Power Adapter Socket Only use the power adapter supplied with this Router. Do not use any other adapter. 6 Ethernet Cable/DSL port Use the supplied patch cable to connect the Router to the Ethernet port on your cable or DSL modem.
2 Introduction HARDWARE INSTALLATION This chapter will guide you through a basic installation of the Router, including: ■ “Positioning the Router”. ■ “Connecting the Router”. Safety Information WARNING: Please read the “Safety Information” section in Appendix D before you start. VORSICHT: Bitte lesen Sie den Abschnitt “Wichtige Sicherheitshinweise” sorgfältig durch, bevor Sie das Gerät einschalten.
CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INSTALLATION Using the Rubber Feet Wall Mounting ■ Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the unit. ■ Air flow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the case is not restricted. 3Com recommends you provide a minimum of 25 mm (1 in.) clearance. Use the four self-adhesive rubber feet to prevent your Router from moving around on your desk or when stacking with flat top units. Only stick the feet to the marked areas at each corner of the underside of your Router.
Connecting the Router 19 3 Ensure that your modem and computer are both switched on. 4 Use the supplied cable to connect the Router’s Ethernet Cable/DSL port to the modem. Check that the Cable/DSL Status LED lights. 5 Connect your computer to one of the 10/100 LAN ports on the Router. Check that the LAN Status LED for the port lights green. See Figure 5 for an example configuration.
CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INSTALLATION
3 SETTING UP YOUR COMPUTERS The Router has the ability to dynamically allocate network addresses to the computers on your network, using DHCP. However, your computers need to be configured correctly for this to take place. To change the configuration of your computers to allow this, follow the instructions in this chapter.

6 Basic Connection Checks Browsing to the Router Configuration Screens TROUBLESHOOTING ■ Check that the Router is connected to your computers and to the telephone line, and that all the equipment is powered on. Check that the LAN Status LED and Cable/DSL Status LED on the Router are illuminated, and that any corresponding LEDs on the NIC are also illuminated. ■ Ensure that the computers have completed their start-up procedure and are ready for use.
CHAPTER 6: TROUBLESHOOTING Connections tab and click on the LAN Settings button at the bottom. Make sure that the Proxy Server option is unchecked. ■ If you cannot browse to the Router, use the winipcfg utility in Windows 95/98/ME to verify that your computer has received the correct address information from the Router. From the Start menu, choose Run and then enter winipcfg. Check that the computer has an IP address of the form 192.168.1.xxx (where xxx is in the range 2-254), the subnet mask is 255.
Forgotten Password and Reset to Factory Defaults Forgotten Password and Reset to Factory Defaults 93 If you can browse to the Router configuration screen but cannot log in because you do not know or have forgotten the password, follow the steps below to reset the Router to it’s factory default configuration. CAUTION: All your configuration changes will be lost, and you will need to run the configuration wizard again before you can re-establish your Router connection to the Internet.
CHAPTER 6: TROUBLESHOOTING the Router software on the accompanying CD-ROM or 3Com web site (http://www.3com.com) and upload it to the Router to see if this clears the fault (refer to “Recovering from Corrupted Software” below). If this does not fix the problem, contact your supplier for further advice. Power LED or Power Adapter OK LED Not Lit ■ During normal operation, you may notice the Alert LED lighting briefly from time to time.

CHAPTER 6: TROUBLESHOOTING
A IP ADDRESSING The Internet Protocol Suite The Internet protocol suite consists of a well-defined set of communications protocols and several standard application protocols. Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is probably the most widely known and is a combination of two of the protocols (IP and TCP) working together.
APPENDIX A: IP ADDRESSING For your network to work correctly, all devices on the network must have: ■ The same sub-network address. ■ The same subnet mask. The only value that will be different is the specific host device number. This value must always be unique. An example IP address is ‘192.168.100.8’. However, the size of the network determines the structure of this IP Address. In using the Router, you will probably only encounter two types of IP Address and subnet mask structures.
How does a Device Obtain an IP Address and Subnet Mask? 101 This type of IP Address operates on a subnet mask of ‘255.255.0.0’. See Table 5 for an example about how a network (only four computers represented) and a Router might be configured. Table 5 IP Addressing and Subnet Masking How does a Device Obtain an IP Address and Subnet Mask? DHCP Addressing Device IP Address Subnet Mask PC 1 192.168.100.8 255.255.0.0 PC 2 192.168.201.30 255.255.0.0 PC 3 192.168.113.155 255.255.0.0 PC 4 192.
APPENDIX A: IP ADDRESSING an IP address at random from the industry standard subnet of 169.254.x.x (with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0). If two devices allocate themselves the same address, the conflict is detected and one of the devices allocates itself a new address. Automatic IP addressing support was introduced by Microsoft in the Windows 98 operating system and is also supported in Windows 2000.

Category 5 can be used in Ethernet (10BASE-T) and Fast Ethernet networks (100BASE-TX) and can transmit data up to speeds of 100 Mbps. Category 5 cabling is better to use for network cabling than Category 3, because it supports both Ethernet (10 Mbps) and Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) speeds. Client The term used to described the desktop PC that is connected to your network.
GLOSSARY Ethernet Ethernet Address Fast Ethernet 119 A LAN specification developed jointly by Xerox, Intel and Digital Equipment Corporation. Ethernet networks use CSMA/CD to transmit packets at a rate of 10 Mbps over a variety of cables. See MAC address. An Ethernet system that is designed to operate at 100 Mbps. Firewall Electronic protection that prevents anyone outside of your network from seeing your files or damaging your computers.
GLOSSARY consists of 32 bits divided into two or three fields: a network number and a host number or a network number, a subnet number, and a host number. IP Address Internet Protocol Address.
