Notes:
Use 100-ohm shielded
or unshielded twisted-
pair cable with RJ-45
connectors for all
Ethernet ports. Use
Category 3, 4, or 5
for connections that
operate at 10 Mbps,
and Category 5 for
connections that
operate at 100 Mbps.
Connection & Configuration
Connect & Configure your BoB
Step 1. Find a suitable location
Your BoB - 4 port integrated wireless router can be
TM
positioned at any convenient location in your office
or home where there is easy access to a phone jack
and power point nearby. No special wiring or cooling
requirements are needed and there is no necessity to
keep the unit connected directly to acomputer.
You should, however, comply with the following
guidelines:
• Keep the router away from any heating devices
• Do not place the router in a dusty or wet
environment
You should also remember to turn off the power,
remove the power cord from the outlet, and keep
your hands dry when you install the router.
Step 2. Connect the ADSL Line
Phone line configuration
Run a standard telephone cable from the wall jack
providing ADSL service to the RJ-11 (' A DSL') port on
your router. When inserting an ADSL RJ-11 plug, be
sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure
that it is properly seated. If you are using a splitter
less ADSL service, be sure you add low-pass filters
between the ADSL wall jack and your telephones
(these filters pass voice signals through but filter data
signals out).
If more than 4 connections of any kind (i e faxes,
phones, modems etc) are to be used you will need to
get a central splitter.
Step 3. Attach to your network
using Ethernet cabling
The LAN ports on the router auto-negotiates the
connection speed to 10 Mbps Ethernet or 100 Mbps
Fast Ethernet, as well as the transmission mode to
half duplex or full duplex.
Use twisted-pair cabling to connect any of the LAN
ports on the router to an Ethernet adapter on your
PC. Otherwise, cascade the LAN port on the router
to an Ethernet hub or switch, and then connect your
PC or other network equipment to the hub or switch.
When inserting an RJ-45 connector, be sure the tab
on the connector clicks into position to ensure that it
is properly seated.
Warning: Do not plug a phone jack connector into an
RJ-45 port. This may damage the router. Instead, use
only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that
conform to Australian standards.

Step 4. Connect the power
adapter
Plug the power adapter into the power socket on
the rear panel of the router, and the other end into a
power outlet.
Check the power indicator on the front panel
is lit. If the power indicator is not lit, refer to
'Troubleshooting' .
In case of a power failure, the router will automatically
restart and begin to operate once the power is
restored.
At this time we have now completed connecting the
router and may now move to the actual configuration
of your connection.
*Time needed to obtain line sync will vary depending
on various factors such as line noise and attempted
sync speed.
