Chapter 5: Troubleshooting and Contact Information
Corrective Action
Check the connection between the power adapter and the router. If the
error persists, you may have a hardware problem. In this case you should
contact technical support.
Try the default login and password, refer to Chapter 3. If this fails, you can
restore your router to its factory settings by holding the Reset button on the
back of your router more than 6 seconds.
Corrective Action
Ensure that the telephone cable is connected properly from the ADSL port
to the wall jack. The ADSL LED on the front panel of the router should be
on. Check that your VPI, VCI, encapsulation type and type of multiplexing
settings are the same as those provided by your ISP. Reboot the router. If
you still have problems, you may need to verify these settings with your
ISP.
Ensure that all other devices connected to the same telephone line as your
router (e.g. telephones, fax machines, analogue modems) have a line filter
connected between them and the wall socket, and ensure that all line filters
are correctly installed and the right way around. Missing line filters or line
filters installed the wrong way around can cause problems with your ADSL
connection, including causing frequent disconnections.
Corrective Action
Check the Ethernet LEDs on the front panel. The LED should be on for a
port that has a PC connected. If it is off, check the cables between your
router and the PC. Make sure you have uninstalled any software firewall for
troubleshooting.
Verify that the IP address and the subnet mask are consistent between the
router and the workstations.
