Chapter 6 Troubleshooting The Router Is Not Functional 1. Check to see that the power LED is green and the network cables are installed correctly. Refer to the quick start guide for more details. 2. Check to see that the LAN and Status LEDs are green. 3. Check the settings on your PC. Again, refer to the quick start guide for more details 4. Check the router's settings. 5.
The DSL LED is Always Off Make sure you have DSL service. You should receive notification from your ISP that DSL service is installed. You can usually tell if the service is installed by listening to the phone line: you will hear some high-pitched noise. If you do not hear high-pitched noise, contact your ISP. The Internet LED is Always Off If the router is set to router mode (i.e. IPoE or IPoE or PPPoA), and the Internet LED is off, check the modem configuration.
From most other IP-enabled operating systems, you can execute the same command at a command prompt or through a system administration utility. Tracert You can use the tracert command to determine the route to an external web site. On Windows-based computers, you can execute the tracert command from the Start menu. 1. Click the Start button, and then click Run. In the Open text box, type the following: tracert www.zhone.
Appendix A – Glossary Term Description 802.11 A family of specifications for wireless LANs developed by a working group of the IEEE. This wireless Ethernet protocol, often called Wi-Fi. 10BASE-T A designation for the type of wiring used by Ethernet networks with a data rate of 10 Mbps. Also known as Category 3 (CAT 3) wiring. See data rate, Ethernet. 100BASE-T A designation for the type of wiring used by Ethernet networks with a data rate of 100 Mbps. Also known as Category 5 (CAT 5) wiring.
Broadband A telecommunications technology that can send different types of data over the same medium. DSL is a broadband technology. Broadcast To send data to all computers on a network. DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol DHCP automates address assignment and management. When a computer connects to the LAN, DHCP assigns it an IP address from a shared pool of IP addresses; after a specified time limit, DHCP returns the address to the pool.
but if something happens to your engine, you are protected. The firewall in the router is very similar. Only the connections that you allow are passed through the firewall. These connections normally originate from the local network, such as users web browsing, checking email, downloading files, and playing games. However, you can allow incoming connections so that you can run programs like a web server.
LAN Local Area Network. A network limited to a small geographic area, such as a home or small office. LED Light Emitting Diode An electronic light-emitting device. The indicator lights on the front of the device are LEDs. MAC address Media Access Control address The permanent hardware address of a device, assigned by its manufacturer. MAC addresses are expressed as six pairs of hex characters, with each pair separated by colons. For example; NN:NN:NN:NN:NN:NN. Mask See network mask.
PPP Point-to-Point Protocol A protocol for serial data transmission that is used to carry IP (and other protocol) data between your ISP and your computer. The WAN interface on the device uses two forms of PPP called PPPoA and PPPoE. See PPPoA, PPPoE. PPPoA Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM One of the two types of PPP interfaces you can define for a Virtual Circuit (VC), the other type being PPPoE. You can define only one PPPoA interface per VC.
suite of protocols. Telnet An interactive, character-based program used to access a remote computer. While HTTP (the web protocol) and FTP only allow you to download files from a remote computer, Telnet allows you to log into and use a computer from a remote location. TFTP Trivial File Transfer Protocol A protocol for file transfers, TFTP is easier to use than File Transfer Protocol (FTP) but not as capable or secure.
VPI Virtual Path Identifier Together with the Virtual Circuit Identifier (VCI), the VPI uniquely identifies a VC. Your ISP will tell you the VPI for each VC they provide. See VC. WAN Wide Area Network Any network spread over a large geographical area, such as a country or continent. With respect to the device, WAN refers to the Internet.
