  • Page 8: Installation

    III. Installation The On-Q Home 4 Port Router/Switch is best installed during new construction in two steps; at “rough-in” after the Electricians are done, but prior to drywall being installed, and at “trim-out” after the drywall is installed and painted. These steps are detailed below: A.
  • Page 9: Initial Configuration

    IV. Initial Configuration (see Section VII. Advanced Setup for more information) The On-Q Home 4 Port Router/Switch is typically configured in one of two ways; (1) From a portable PC connected through one of the Local Switch Ports on the Router/Switch Module in the enclosure, or (2) From a PC in one of the rooms of the house, connected through an outlet in the room to the enclosure where it is patched to (or directly connected to) one of the Local Switch Ports (see Figure 3).
  • Page 10 To logon, enter “admin” for the user name and password and just click OK (see Figure 5). 192.168.40.254 Figure 5 Figure 6 shows the screen you will see once you have logged on. The Setup Wizard will lead you step-by- step through the configuration of the Router.
  • Page 11: Using The Setup Wizard For Internet (Wan) Port Setup

    C. Using the Setup Wizard for Internet (WAN) Port Setup By answering a series of questions shown on the following screens, the wizard will help you configure your router for Cable Modem (normally DHCP controlled IP addressing), DSL Modem (normally PPPoE), or a Static IP addressed type of ISP service (including PPTP).
  • Page 12 Figure 9 If you had received a host name from the ISP, and so clicked on YES as the answer to the second question on the first screen (see Figure 10), a pop-up area would have appeared for you to enter the host name and MTU size (1492 is a good starting point).
  • Page 13: Dsl Modem Setup

    2. DSL Modem Setup By answering YES to the first question and NO to the second question on the first screen (see Figure 12), and clicking Next, you will be taken to the screen shown in Figure 13, and asked whether the ISP has provided you with a static IP address or not.
  • Page 14 Figure 14 When you click on Next after entering your static IP address information, you will be taken to the Alias IP screen shown in Figure 15. Here you can enter up to 5 alias IP addresses (assuming your ISP supports this) to better enable support for multi-IP address applications such as Virtual Server or DMZ Host.
  • Page 15: Static Ip Address And Pptp Setup

    Figure 16 Enter the User Name, Password and Service Name (if applicable) that your ISP provided with the DSL service. The Connect on Demand function will allow you to quickly re-establish a connection that has timed out. The Max Idle Time is the amount of time you want to wait before the router drops your connection.
  • Page 16: Using Manual Setup

    Figure 18 Enter the PPTP information provided by your ISP into the fields shown above. When you click on Next you will be taken to the DNS and Time Zone screens as shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 and covered previously.

  • Page 43: Appendix B Glossary Of Terms

    Appendix B Glossary of Terms Access Point (AP) A device that provides wireless LAN connectivity to wireless clients (stations). Adapter A device or card that connects a computer, printer, or other peripheral device to the network or to some other device. A wireless adapter connects a computer to the wireless LAN.
  • Page 44 Customer Premise Equipment: typically computers, printers, etc, that are connected to the gateway at the subscriber location. CPE can be provided by the subscriber or the cable service provider. Also called a client. Crossover Cable A crossover cable is a cable that is used to interconnect two computers by "crossing over" (reversing) their respective pin contacts.
  • Page 45 An Extended Service Set (ESS) is a set of two or more BSSs that form a single subnetwork. See also BSS. Ethernet The most widely used LAN type, also known as IEEE 802.3. The most common Ethernet networks are 10Base-T, which provide transmission speeds up to 10 Mbps, usually over unshielded, twisted-pair wire terminated with RJ-45 connectors.
  • Page 46 Internet A worldwide collection of interconnected networks using TCP/IP. Internet Protocol is a set of standards that enable different types of computers to communicate with one another and exchange data through the Internet. IP provides the appearance of a single, seamless communication system and makes the Internet a virtual network.
  • Page 47 Network Address Translation is an Internet standard for a LAN to use one set of IP addresses for internal traffic and a second set of IP addresses for external traffic. NAT provides some security because the IP addresses of LAN computers are invisible on the Internet.
  • Page 48 Protocol A formal set of rules and conventions for exchanging data. Different computer types (for example PC, UNIX, or mainframe) can communicate if they support common protocols. Public IP Address The IP address assigned to the router or WAP by the service provider. A public IP address is visible to devices on the Internet.
  • Page 49 Subscriber A user who accesses television, data, or other services from a service provider. Subnet Mask A methodology that determines what the router will examine for the destination of an IP address. A router delivers packets using the network address. Switch On an Ethernet network, a switch filters frames based on the MAC address, in a manner similar to a bridge.
  • Page 50 A virtual private network is a private network that uses ‘‘virtual’’ connections (tunnels) routed over a public network (usually the Internet) to provide a secure and fast connection; usually to users working remotely at home or in small branch offices. A VPN connection provides security and performance similar to a dedicated link (for example, a leased line), but at much lower cost.
