System Requirements
Before starting, you must ensure the following:
●
You already have a cable or DSL broadband connection to the Internet,
with a suitable modem, and that this connection works properly. The
modem must have an Ethernet port for connection to your Router.
●
You have a computer that has an Ethernet connection available and is
already correctly configured for communication with the Internet. Your
computer must be able to connect to the Internet via the modem, and
must have a Web browser installed.
●
There are no other DHCP server devices on your local network that are
responsible for allocating IP addresses to your computers and other network-
connected devices. Your Router will now perform this function by default.

You should place the Secure Router in a location that:
●
Is conveniently located for connection to the cable or DSL modem that
will be used to connect to the Internet.
●
Allows convenient connection to the computers that are to be
connected to the four LAN ports on the rear panel.
●
Allows easy viewing of the front panel LED indicator lights, and access
to the rear panel connectors if necessary.
When positioning your Router, ensure:
●
It is out of direct sunlight and away from sources of heat.
●
Cabling is away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures, and
sources of electrical noise such as radios, transmitters and broadband
amplifiers.
●
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. We recommend you provide a minimum of 25mm
(1in.) clearance.
For details on using the rubber feet or stacking clip, refer to the User
Guide supplied in PDF format on the CD-ROM that accompanies your
Router.
3 Four LAN Status LEDs
green (100Mbps link) / yellow (10Mbps link)
If the LED is on, the link between the port and the
next piece of network equipment is OK. If the LED is
flashing, the link is OK and data is being transmitted
or received. If the LED is off, nothing is connected, or
the connected device is switched off, or there is a
problem with the connection (refer to the "Problem
Solving" section).
4 Cable/DSL Status LED
green (100Mbps link) / yellow (10Mbps link)
If the LED is on, the link between the Router and the
cable or DSL modem is OK. If the LED is flashing, the
link is OK and data is being transmitted or received. If
the LED is off, nothing is connected, the modem is
switched off or there is a problem (refer to the
"Problem Solving" section).
5 Power Adapter socket
Only use the power adapter that is 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 10/100 port on your cable or DSL modem.
This port will automatically adjust for the correct
speed, duplex and cable type. Which means you can
connect to your Cable/DSL modem using either
straight-through or crossover cables.
7 Four 10/100 LAN ports
Use suitable cable with RJ-45 connectors. You can
connect your Router to a computer, or to any other
piece of equipment that has an Ethernet connection
(for example, a hub or a switch). These ports will
automatically adjust for the correct speed, duplex
mode and cable type, which means that you can
connect devices to your Router using either straight-
through or crossover cables.
