Cabling - LevelOne FBR-1161 User Manual

2.5. Cabling

Through USB Port
The product can be used as a Network Adapter on your PC. That means you do not have to
install a network adapter first on your PC before connecting the ADSL Modem/Router. Just
connect the supplied USB cable to the USB port of the ADSL2+ Modem/Router and connect
the other end to the PC.
Make sure that your ADSL Modem/Router and PC are turned on. On the front of the product
is a bank of LEDs. As a first check, please verify that the PWR, SYS, USB and ADSL LEDs
are lit. So long as the cables are connected and the LEDs are lit normally, follow section
"Installing the USB Driver" below to setup this device.
Through Ethernet Port
The product's LAN port is wired just like a Network Adapter's port. From the product directly
to a PC, the cable should be an Ethernet crossover cable. From the product to a hub or
switch, the cable should be an Ethernet straight through cable to a normal hub/switch port,
or an Ethernet crossover cable to an uplink port.
The most common problem associated with Ethernet is bad cabling or ADSL line. Make sure
that all connected devices are turned on. On the front of the product is a bank of LEDs. As a
first check, please verify that the PWR, LAN LNK and ADSL SYN LEDs are lit. If they are not,
verify that you are using the proper cables.
So long as the cables are connected and the LEDs are lit normally, follow section
"Configuring the Network Properties" below to modify the network settings.
Attention:
Since the product cannot auto-detect whether your cable is correct or not, please make sure you are
using the right cable to a PC or a Hub.
