The Front Panel

The Router’s LEDs, which inform you about network activities, are located on the front panel.

Power

Green. The

Power

LED lights up when the Router is powered on. If the LED is flashing, the

Router is booting up, running a system self-test, or upgrading its firmware.

Ethernet 1-3

Green. The

Ethernet

LED serves two purposes. If the LED is solidly lit, the Router is

connected to a device through the corresponding port (Ethernet 1, 2, or 3). If the LED is

flashing, the Router is sending or receiving data over that port.

Phone 1-2

Green. The

Phone

LED is solidly lit when a telephone or fax machine has a registered

connection to Vonage through the corresponding port (Phone 1 or Phone 2). (The connection

is registered if your Vonage service account is active.) This LED is not lit when there is no

registered connection. It flashes when the phone is being used or an incoming call has been

detected.

Internet

Green. The

Internet

LED lights up when the Router is connected to your cable or DSL

modem. If the LED is flashing, the Router is sending or receiving data over the Internet port.

Chapter 5: Configuring the Router

Overview

Linksys recommends using the Setup CD-ROM for first-time installation of the Router. If you do not wish to run

the Setup Wizard on the Setup CD-ROM, then you can use the Web-based Utility to configure the Router. For

advanced users, you may configure the Router’s advanced settings through the Web-based Utility.

This chapter will describe each web page on the Utility and each page’s key functions. The Utility can be

accessed via your web browser through use of a computer connected to the Router. For a basic network setup,

most users only have to use the following screens of the Utility:

•

Basic Setup. On the

Basic Setup

screen, enter the Internet connection settings provided by your ISP. If you do

not have this information, you can call your ISP to request the settings. Once you have the setup information

for your specific type of Internet connection, then you can configure the Router.

•

Management. Click the

Administration

tab and then the

Management

tab. The Router’s default password

is

admin

. To secure the Router, change the Password from its default.

There are six main tabs: Setup, Security, Voice, Applications & Gaming, Administration, and Status. Additional

tabs will be available after you click one of the main tabs.
