WAN LEDs When the WAN LED has a solid blue light on, means there is an active connection to the DSL/Cable modem. The PPPoE/DSL LED beneath will show any activity of the WAN connection. 3. Wireless LAN (WLAN) LED When this blue LED is on, wireless networking is enabled. The LED will flash when data is sent or received over a wireless connection. 4. LAN LEDs (LAN1, LAN2, LAN3 and LAN4) There are two LEDs -- one above the other -- for each LAN (Local Area Network) (see 7). The top LED is green and the bottom is amber. These two LEDs behave in exactly the same way as the WAN LEDs. English English 4 3 2 1 3 4 Hardware Installation Back 5. Power Connect the supplied, 12V power adapter to this socket. 6. WAN Port Use the supplied Ethernet cable to connect the WAN port to your cable or DSL modem. The associated LED on the front panel will light up when the connection is made. 7. LAN Ports (LAN1, LAN2, LAN3 and LAN4) There are four Ethernet LAN ports for connection to PCs, network printers or similar devices. Note the labelling; one pair of LAN LEDs on the front panel is associated with one port on the rear panel. If a device is not correctly connected, using a suitable Ethernet cable, the associated LED will not turn on. 8. Reset If, for any reason, you need to reset the unit to factory defaults and cannot access the user interface (e.g. if you have changed and forgotten the password), press the reset button for 10 seconds. Note that you will lose all your configuration changes. The position of your Router is important to its wireless performance. The Router should be located in a central position relative to the wireless PCs that will connect to it. A suitable location might be on a high shelf or a similar position that allows good wireless coverage from the Router to the wireless PCs. To meet the FCC wireless radiation exposure regulations, the Router should be located in a position to maintain a minimum distance of 20cm (8 inches) from any personnel. Connect all of the computers that you want to share on your internet connection to your router. Connect your broadband modem to the WAN port of the router. During the initial setup, SMC recommend that the Router is configured from a wired Ethernet PC as shown in the diagram. English English WIRELESS LAPTOP INTERNET WIRELESS ROUTER BROADBAND MODEM 56 7 8 Ethernet Cables One Ethernet cable, intended for your WAN connection, is bundled with the router. You can use this as a point of reference for purchasing other cables; the cable is constructed from unscreened, "Cat 5" cable with RJ45 connecters at both ends. Cables of this type can be purchased at most computer retailers. 5 6 If you want to mount this particular product onto the wall, please use the holes at the bottom of this router as shown on the below picture. Initial Configuration Follow the steps in this section after connecting your network as described in the previous section. Before beginning make sure you have all the details about your internet connection from your ISP. 1. First, power-up your modem, then the router and finally powerup the PC that you will use to configure the router. 2. Start your web browser and enter the address http://192.168.2.1. If your PC is properly configured you will see the login page of the router. If you cannot access the login page then you must first reconfigure your PC to obtain an IP address automatically; see the manual on the CD-ROM for more information. 7 3. If you are using Windows, you now have the option of running the EZ 3-Click installation wizard. If you are using another operating system (e.g. MacOS or Linux) or require more help than EZ 3-Click can provide, continue to step 4. 4. Type in the password (the default is smcadmin) and click on Login. When you have successfully logged in, you will see the Overview page which allows you to choose between the Setup Wizard and Advanced Setup. Select Setup Wizard. 5. Click next to start the Setup Wizard. Here you will be able to change the basic wireless settings such as SSID, Channel, Range Extender and wireless operating mode. Click Next when finished to move forward. 6. The next page of the wizard allows you to select your broadband-connection type. Clicking on an option will automatically move you to the next page. Read the text on this screen carefully before making your choice. 7. The next page will ask you for technical information about your internet connection. Your ISP should have provided you with the information required to fill in this page. If you do not have the required information then you may have picked the wrong connection type during stage 6; you can click on the Back button to try another connection type. When you have filled in all the necessary details, click on the Finish button. Important Note: If you are on a metered internet connection, you should set your Maximum Idle Time to 1 minute. 8. That's It! You should be connected to the Internet. Please register your product by pointing your Web browser to http://www.smc.com and clicking through to the support pages. If you are not connected to the Internet, please contact your ISP to clarify your connection details. English English 8 EZ Installation CD The EZ 3-Click Application runs on Windows only and provides: · An alternative approach to initial configuration. · Access to the User Guide. · Installation of Zone Alarm and Adobe Acrobat Reader. To use EZ 3-Click, place the supplied CD in the CD-ROM drive of the PC that is connected to the router. If your PC is configured to auto-play CDs, the following dialog will appear on your screen. Wireless Networking To setup Wireless networking you must select Home Network Settings -> Wireless option in the Configuration menu. 1. To create a wireless network, the Router and wireless PCs must have the same SSID and encryption settings. The default wireless settings for the Router are shown below: SSID - Router default is SMC The SSID is the name given to your wireless LAN. Only PCs with the same SSID as the Router can connect to the wireless LAN. Wireless Encryption - Router default is off To set up your wireless network, set the encryption to off in both the Router and the wireless PC. Wireless encryption can be set up later, after you have established a wireless network. Wireless Channel - Router default is 6 The wireless channel is set in the Router and the default is channel 6. The wireless PCs will automatically scan the channels to detect which channel the Router is using. If this is your only wireless network, then you can use the Router's default settings. Now set your wireless PC to have the same SSID and encryption settings as the Router. The wireless PCs must be set to use infrastructure mode. If your computer has both a wired and wireless connection installed, then you must ensure that only one type is used at a time, to connect to the LAN. To use the wireless connection, unplug the wired Ethernet cable and reboot the PC. Once you have setup the same SSID and Encryption in the Router and wireless PC, open a browser and try to connect to www.smc.com. If you can access the internet, then you have successfully set up your wireless LAN. English English If the dialog does not appear, you will have to start the application manually. Do this by first opening Windows Explorer then opening the folder associated with your CD-ROM drive. Once you have opened the folder you will see the file SMCWBR14T-G.exe. Run this file by double-clicking on it. 9 10 Troubleshooting 2. SMC recommends that you enable wireless encryption to improve the security of your wireless network. Note that if you change the wireless settings (e.g. SSID or WEP) of your Router from a wireless PC, then you may lose contact with your Router. To re-establish the wireless connection, change the wireless settings of your PC to be the same as the Router.
