Chapter 3: Getting to Know the Wireless-G Router for
3G/UMTS Broadband
The Router’s Ports
The Router's ports and Reset button are located on the side panel with the antenna port.
(Antenna)
The antenna port is where you will attach the Router’s antenna.
Internet
The
Internet
port is where you will connect your broadband Internet connection, if you are
using broadband WAN service.
Ethernet
1, 2, 3, 4
These ports (1, 2, 3, 4) connect the Router to your PCs and other Ethernet network devices.
Security Bracket
The red bracket labeled “RESET” clips onto the Router. It covers the Reset button and the
security slot on the Router’s front panel. You can remove the security bracket to access the
Reset button. To protect the Router from theft, you can attach a lock to the Router using the
security slot and bracket.
Reset Button
There are two ways to reset the Router's factory defaults. Either press the
Reset
button, for
approximately five seconds, or restore the defaults from the Administration tab - Factory
Defaults tab in the Router's web-based utility.
Power
The
Power
port is where you will connect the power adapter.
IMPORTANT:
Resetting the Router will erase
all of your settings (Internet connection,
wireless security, and other settings) and
replace them with the factory defaults. Do not
reset the Router if you want to retain these
settings.

The Router’s LEDs
Wireless-G Router for 3G/UMTS Broadband
The Router’s LEDs
The Router’s LEDs are located on the Router’s other side panel.
3G/UMTS Button
This button allows you to connect to and disconnect from the HSDPA/3G/UMTS or GPRS
network (you can also use the Basic Setup tab of the Router’s web-based utility).
POWER
Green. The
POWER
LED lights up and will stay on when the Router is powered on. When the
Router goes through its self-diagnostic mode during every boot-up, this LED will flash. When
the diagnostic is complete, the LED will be solidly lit.
ETHERNET
1, 2, 3, 4
Green. These numbered LEDs, corresponding with the numbered ports on the Router’s back
panel, serve two purposes. If the LED is continuously lit, the Router is successfully connected
to a device through that port. A flashing LED indicates network activity over that port.
DMZ
Green. The
DMZ
LED lights up and will remain lit while the Router uses its DMZ function.
WIRELESS
Green. The
WIRELESS
LED lights up whenever there is a successful wireless connection. If the
LED is flashing, the Router is actively sending or receiving data over the wireless network.
3G/UMTS
Blue/Green. The
3G/UMTS
LED flashes as the Router connects to the mobile network. It is
solidly lit when the connection is established. The LED lights up blue if the Router connects to
a HSDPA/3G/UMTS network. It lights up green if the Router connects to a GPRS network.
If the LED quickly flashes, alternating between blue and green, and the Router does not have a
connection to the mobile network, then either the Router’s PIN code is incorrect, or there is no
Vodafone Mobile Connect HSDPA/3G/UMTS data or SIM card inserted when you push the 3G/
UMTS Connect/Disconnect button. Contact Vodafone for assistance (contact information is
available in “Appendix J: Contact Information”).
INTERNET
Green. The
INTERNET
LED lights up when a connection is made through the Internet port.

Chapter 4: Connecting the Wireless-G Router for 3G/UMTS Broadband
Overview
Wireless-G Router for 3G/UMTS Broadband
Chapter 4: Connecting the Wireless-G Router for 3G/UMTS
Broadband
Overview
Most users who are connecting the Router to the Internet for the first time can proceed to the appropriate chapter
about the Setup Wizard and use this chapter as reference on how to connect the hardware. There are three
chapters about the Setup Wizard available. If you want to configure the Router for HSDPA/3G/UMTS or GPRS
service only, go to “Chapter 5: Setting up the Wireless-G Router for HSDPA/3G/UMTS or GPRS Service.” If you
want to configure the Router for broadband WAN service only, go to “Chapter 6: Setting up the Wireless-G Router
for Broadband WAN Service Only.” If you want to configure the Router for broadband WAN and HSDPA/3G/UMTS or
GPRS service, go to “Chapter 7: Setting up the Wireless-G Router for Broadband WAN and HSDPA/3G/UMTS or
GPRS Service.”
This chapter includes three sets of instructions. If the Router will use the HSDPA/3G/UMTS or GPRS service only,
follow the instructions in “Hardware Installation for Use of the HSDPA/3G/UMTS or GPRS Service.” If the Router
will be the only router in your network and you have a broadband modem, follow the instructions in “Hardware
Installation for Connection to Your Broadband Modem.” If you want to install the Wireless-G Router for 3G/UMTS
Broadband behind another router in your network, then follow the instructions in “Hardware Installation for
Connection to Another Router.”
Hardware Installation for Use of the HSDPA/3G/UMTS or GPRS Service
1.
Power down your network devices.
2.
Locate an optimum location for the Router. The best place for the Router is usually at the center of your
wireless network, with line of sight to all of your mobile stations.
3.
Attach the antenna and fix its direction. Try to place the Router in a position that will best cover your wireless
network. Normally, the higher you place the antenna, the better the performance will be.
