Preparations & Installation

Physical Installation Requirement

·
Network cables. Use standard 10/100BaseT network (UTP) cables with RJ45
connectors.
· TCP/IP protocol must be installed on all PCs.
For Internet Access, an Internet Access account with an ISP, and either of a DSL or Cable modem
(for WAN port usage)
1. Choose an Installation Site
Select a suitable place on the network to install IPX-1000.
Ensure IPX-1000 and the DSL/Cable modem are powered OFF.
2.Connecting to LAN
Using UTP cables, connect all your LAN devices (PC, NB, HUB, switch...) to the LAN ports on the
IPX-1000. The corresponding "LAN" light(s) on the front panel will turn on. Wait a minute or two for all
LAN devices to establish links with the IPX-1000. The network related installation is now complete and
you should be able to access the Internet.
3. Connect WAN Cable
Connect the DSL or Cable modem to the WAN port on IPX-1000. Use the cable supplied with your
DSL/Cable modem. If no cable was supplied, use a standard cable.
Using a UTP cable, connect the LAN port on the ADSL/cable modem to the WAN port on the IPX-1000.
Turn on the ADSL/cable modem and make sure its READY light is on steadily. If the READY light
keeps blinking, contact your Internet service provider (ISP) and fix the problem before going to the next
step.
If the connection is made properly, the "WAN" light on the front panel will turn on.
