Cabling

The most common problem associated with Ethernet is bad cabling or ADSL line(s). Make sure that all

connected devices are turned on. On the front of the product is a bank of LEDs. Verify that the LAN Link

and ADSL line LEDs are lit. If they are not, verify that you are using the proper cables.

Ensure that all other devices connected to the same telephone line as your BEC router (e.g. telephones,

fax machines, analogue modems) have a line filter connected between them and the wall socket (unless

you are using a Central Splitter or Central Filter installed by a qualified and licensed electrician), 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.

Chapter 3: Basic Installation

7402 can be configured with your web browser. The web browser is included as a standard application

in the following operating systems: Linux, Mac OS, Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/Me, etc. The product

provides a very easy and user-friendly interface for configuration.

PCs must have an Ethernet interface installed properly and be connected to 7402 either directly or

through an external repeater hub, and have TCP/IP installed and configured to obtain an IP address

through a DHCP server or a fixed IP address that must be in the same subnet as 7402. The default IP

address of the router is

192.168.1.254

and the subnet mask is

255.255.255.0

(i.e. any attached PC must

be in the same subnet, and have an IP address in the range of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.253). The best

and easiest way is to configure the PC to get an IP address automatically from 7402 using DHCP. If you

encounter any problems accessing the router’s web interface it may also be advisable to

uninstall

any

kind of software firewall on your PCs, as they can cause problems accessing the 192.168.1.254 IP

address of the router. Users should make their own decisions on how to best protect their network.

Please follow the steps below for your PC’s network environment installation. Before taking the first step,

please check your PC’s network components. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network adapter

must be installed. If not, please refer to your Windows-related or other operating system manuals.

Connecting your router

1. Connect the router to a LAN (Local Area Network) and the ADSL/telephone network.

2. Power on the device.

3. Make sure the

PWR

and

SYS

LEDs are lit steadily and that the

relevant LAN

LED is lit.

The WLAN LED will be lit steadily.

Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with or

through the 7402. To configure other types of workstations, please

consult the manufacturer’s documentation.
