Coax Port
The Coax port connects the FiOS Router to the ISP or other devices using a
coaxial cable.
Power Port
The Power port connects the FiOS Router to an electrical wall outlet via the
Power cord.
Power Switch
The Power switch powers the FiOS Router on and off.
Reset Button
To restore the FiOS Router’s factory default settings, press and hold the Reset
button for approximately ten seconds. The reset process will start about ten
seconds after releasing the button. When the FiOS Router resets, all the lights
on the front panel turn off, and then some of
the lights start flashing. The FiOS
Router has completed its reset process when the Power light glows steadily
green.
Caution!
Do not unplug the Power cord from the FiOS Router during the
reset process. Doing so may result in the loss of the FiOS Router’s configuration
information. If this occurs, reset the FiOS Router again.
LAN Ethernet Ports (4)
The LAN Ethernet ports connect devices to the FiOS Router via Ethernet cables
to create a local area network (LAN). The LAN Ethernet ports are 10/100 Mbps
auto-sensing ports, and either a straight-through or crossover Ethernet cable
can be used when connecting devices to the ports.
WAN Ethernet Port
The WAN Ethernet port connects the FiOS Router to the ISP using an Ethernet
cable.
Wireless Antenna
The FiOS Router’s wireless antenna is used to transmit a wireless signal to other
wireless devices on its wireless network.

Connecting the FiOS Router and accessing its
Graphical User Interface (GUI) are both simple
procedures, varying slightly depending on
the computer’s operating system. However,
no configuration is necessary to access the
GUI when taking advantage of Universal
Plug-and-Play support.

2.1
Setting Up the FiOS Router
There are three parts to setting up the FiOS Router:
Connecting the Cables
,
Configuring the Router,
and
Connecting Other Computers/Set Top Boxes
.
2.1a
Connecting the Cables
Note:
If a different router was being used previously, disconnect it. Remove all
router components, including power supplies and cables, as they will not work
with the FiOS Router.
Get the FiOS Router and black Power cord from the box.
1.
Plug the black Power cord in the black port on the back of the FiOS Router
2.
and then into a power outlet.
Turn the FiOS Router on.
3.
Make sure the Power light on the front of the FiOS Router glows steadily
4.
green.
Plug the yellow Ethernet cable from the box into one of the four yellow
5.
Ethernet ports on the back of the FiOS Router.
Make sure the computer is powered on, then plug the other end of the
6.
yellow Ethernet cable into an Ethernet port on the computer.
Make sure at least one of the Ethernet LAN lights on the front of the FiOS
7.
Router glows steadily green. This may take a few moments.
The phone company previously installed a high-speed wall jack somewhere
8.
in the house. Locate it and note its type (Ethernet or coaxial). If Ethernet,
follow steps 8a and 8b. If coaxial, follow steps 9a and 9b. Then, continue to
step 10.
a.
If connecting via Ethernet, get the white Ethernet cable from the box and
plug one end in the white port on the back of the FiOS Router.
b.
Plug the other end of the white Ethernet cable into the high-speed
Ethernet jack.

9.
If connecting via coaxial cable, get a coaxial cable and connect one end to
the red Coax port on the back of the FiOS Router.
b.
Connect the other end of the coaxial cable to a coax jack.
Make sure the Ethernet WAN light (if connecting via Ethernet) or Coax WAN
10.
light (if connecting via coaxial cable) on the front of the FiOS Router glows
steadily green. If connecting via coaxial cable, this may take a few minutes.
Note:
If the Ethernet WAN light or Coax WAN light does not illuminate, make
sure the cable (Ethernet or coaxial) is connected properly at both ends.
2.2
Computer Network Configuration
Each network interface on the computer should either be configured with a
statically defined IP address and DNS address, or instructed to automatically
obtain an IP address using the Network DHCP server. The FiOS Router is set up,
by default, with an active DHCP server, and we recommend leaving this setting
as is.
2.2a
Configuring Dynamic IP Addressing
To set up a computer to use dynamic IP addressing:
Windows Vista
Select
1.
Network and Sharing

The “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties” window appears.
5.
Click the “Obtain an IP address automatically” radio button.
6.
Click the “Obtain DNS server address automatically” radio button.
