On-Q/Legrand 4 Port Router/Switch Detailed Physical Description

The following information describes the physical characteristics of the On-Q Router/Switch:

1.

Router/Switch Module Connection Area

Figure 2

shows the Router/Switch connection area including:

DC Input connector – connection from power supply

WAN (Internet) Port – 8 position RJ-45 jack (connects to Cable or DSL modem)

Local Switch Ports – 8 position RJ-45 jacks (connection from outlets in rooms)

Routing Switch – Disconnects router from 4-port switch when an external router is used.

Reset Button -

A button press (over 3 seconds) resets the Router/Switch unit to the factory

default settings. This clears all user settings, including User Name, Password, IP Address,

and Subnet Mask.

NOTE: Refer to

Section IV

Configuration

for instructions on re-configuring the

Router/Switch.

2.

Router/Switch Status LEDs next to each RJ45 connector(see

Figure 2

)

Power

– On solid green when power is supplied.

Link/Act and 100 Local Port and WAN Port LEDs

Link/Act

– On solid green indicates functional LAN or WAN link through the port with the

attached device. Off means no LAN or WAN connection.

100

III. Installation

The DA1004 On-Q 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. “Rough-in” steps:

1.

A single dedicated Cat 5e should be run in the walls from the structured wiring enclosure

location in the home where the On-Q 4 Port Router/Switch will be installed to each outlet

location in the rooms where Internet service is required (leave extra cable at both ends).

NOTE: Run Cat 5e cable at least 12” from electrical cabling (preferably in a separate stud

cavity) and cross electrical cables at a 90° angle. Use loose Velcro-style cable ties for

bundling. If stapling is required, use specialty staples to avoid compressing the cable.

2.

At the selected outlet locations, a single gang box or low voltage bracket should be installed,

with the extra Cat 5e cable in the box, or attached in such a way that it may be fished out

after the drywall is installed.

B. “Trim-out” steps:

1.

The Cat 5e that was secured at each of the outlets should be pulled out and terminated with

a 110 punchdown tool on an RJ45 insert and attached to a wallplate, which is then installed

in the single gang box or low voltage bracket.

2.

In the structured wiring enclosure the Cat 5e from the outlets may be terminated with a 110

punchdown tool onto an On-Q Network Interface Module or with RJ-45 plugs, using a tool

such as our EZ RJ45 Modular Plug Hand Toll (P/N 364555-01) for direct connection to the

DA1004 On-Q 4 Port Router/Switch.

3.

The On-Q 4 Port 10/100 Router/Switch is installed in the structured wiring enclosure by

slipping the tabs into the square holes, and using the push pin in a round hole to secure the

router.

4.

If the outlet cables were punched down at a Network Interface Module, Cat 5e patch cables

(available separately) are then connected from the On-Q 6 Port Network Interface Module to

the input ports on the On-Q 4-Port 10/100 Router/Switch.

5.

An additional Cat 5e patch cable is then connected from the network (WAN) port of the 4 Port

10/100 Router/Switch to the Cable Modem or DSL Modem housed in the structured wiring

enclosure and make sure the routing switch is in the “On” position.

6.

The 4 Port 10/100 Router/Switch is powered with an AC to DC adapter which also needs to

be plugged in to an AC source.

7.

Follow the steps in the next two sections for configuring the router.

NOTE: Use proper tools and standard TIA 568A rules to prep and terminate the Cat 5e

cable, such as a Cat 5 Cable Stripper, an RJ45 Crimp Tool and a 110 Punchdown Tool.

IV. Initial Configuration

The DA1004 On-Q 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

). In either case, the PC must have an Ethernet Network Interface Card to communicate

with the Router/Switch.

A.

Configuring a Network Interface Card to talk to the Router/Switch

NOTE: The steps below assume that your PC’s network interface card is set to DHCP, or in

other words, to obtain IP addressing automatically. The steps also assume that the On-Q 4

Port Router/Switch is set to its default settings and that all the cables previously discussed

are properly connected. It is also possible to perform these steps by configuring your

computer (with installed Ethernet Network Interface Card) to talk to the On-Q Router/Switch on

its specific IP subnetwork (192.168.40.xxx). The On-Q Router/Switch’s default IP address in

that subnetwork is 192.168.40.254, so your PC’s Ethernet Card can be temporarily assigned an

IP address, (like 192.168.40.10

), on that same subnetwork to talk to and configure the

Router/Switch. Giving the PC a specific IP address is also called assigning it a Static IP

address, as compared to a Dynamic IP address that is typically assigned by a service provider

when your PC’s network interface card is configured for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

(DHCP).

NOTE: Before doing any PC IP Address re-configuration, make sure you first write down all of

the current IP settings. XP users can set “last known useable configuration” under System

Accessories before re-configuring.

B. Logging on to the Router/Switch

1.

With your PC connected to one of the local ports on the Router/Switch and its front panel

routing switch in the “On” position, open a browser and enter the Router/Switch’s default IP

address (192.168.40.254), and click “

Go

” (see

Figure 4

) to get the login page.

2.

To logon, enter “admin” for the user name and password and just click

OK

(see

Figure 5

).

3.

Figure 6

shows the System Status screen that you will see once you have logged on. By

clicking on the word WIZARD in the upper left corner (below our logo), the Setup Wizard will

lead you step-by-step through the initial configuration of the Router.

NOTE: You can also manually configure the Router/Switch by clicking on a function listed

across the top of the page, such as “SYSTEM” to change your User Name or Password,

perform a firmware upgrade, restore factory defaults, or backup/restore system settings.

You could also click on “WAN” to configure your network connection type, or “LAN” to

identify the starting IP address for the LAN ports, or “NAT” or “FIREWALL” or “DDNS” to

configure those functions.
