Checking The Power Led; Checking The Lan Led - Hughes HX90 User Manual

Checking the Power LED

If the Power LED is off, check the power supply connections. (The router does not
have an off/on switch.) If the Power LED is on, proceed to Checking the LAN LED on
page 55.

Checking the LAN LED

If the front panel LAN LED is off:
1. Disconnect and reconnect the Ethernet cable from the router and from the
computer.
Make sure the cable is securely connected to the router LAN port and to the
computer's LAN port.
2. If the LAN LED is still off, power cycle the satellite router:
a. Unplug the power cord from the power source.
b. If the router is connected to a DC power source, unplug the DC input cable
from the satellite router's power supply.
c. Wait 10 sec.
d. Plug the power cord back into the power source.
e. If the power source is DC, plug the input cable back into the power supply.
CAUTION
Do not power cycle the satellite router by unplugging the power cord from the
router's rear panel. Doing so could result in static electricity discharge that could
shock you and/or damage the router.
3. If the LAN LED is still off, check the LAN port LEDs on the back panel.
• If the Orange LED is on and the front panel LAN LED is not, contact your service
provider for assistance.
• If both the Orange LED and the front panel LAN LED are off, check all network
equipment that connects the computer with the router, including the
computer's Ethernet card, Ethernet cable(s) and any switch or hub. Replace
one or more of the items to try to isolate the problem.
4. If the front panel LAN LED is still off, check the Windows Device Manager to
see if the computer's NIC or network adapter is installed correctly.
a. In Windows XP, for example, click Start > Settings > Control Panel > System >
Hardware > Device Manager.
A screen appears listing all the devices installed on the computer.
b. Look for Network adapters.
If the NIC is not properly installed, a red X appears next to its listing.
c. If a red X is present, troubleshoot the NIC installation using the manufacturer's
instructions and Windows documentation.
