Wireless Access Example

1.6.1

Using the Wifi/WPS Button

Note:

The wireless client must be a WPS-aware device (for example, a WPS USB adapter or

PCMCIA card), which can be identified by the WPS logo

:

If the wireless network is turned off, press the

Wifi/WPS

button at the back of the VDSL Router for

one second. Once the

Wifi

LED turns green, the wireless network is active.

You can also use the

Wifi

button to quickly set up a secure wireless connection between the VDSL

Router and a WPS-compatible client by adding one device at a time.

To activate WPS:

1

Make sure the

POWER

LED is green and not blinking.

2

Press the

Wifi/WPS

button for ten seconds and release it.

Enable WPS on another WPS-enabled client device within range of the VDSL Router. If you do not

know how to enable WPS on that client device, refer to its manual. The

Wifi

LED flashes green and

orange while the VDSL Router sets up a WPS connection with the other WPS enabled client device.

4

Once the connection is successfully made, the

Wifi

LED shines green.

To turn off the wireless network, press the

Wifi/WPS

button on the front of the VDSL Router for

one to five seconds. The

Wifi

LED turns off when the wireless network is off.

Wall-mounting Instructions

Complete the following steps to hang your VDSL Router on a wall.

Figure 3

Wall-mounting Example

1

Select a position free of obstructions on a sturdy wall.

2

Drill two holes for the screws.

Be careful to avoid damaging pipes or cables located inside the wall

when drilling holes for the screws.

3

Do not insert the screws all the way into the wall. Leave a small gap of about 0.5 cm between the

heads of the screws and the wall.

4

Make sure the screws are snugly fastened to the wall. They need to hold the weight of the VDSL

Router with the connection cables.

5

Align the holes on the back of the VDSL Router with the screws on the wall. Hang the VDSL Router

on the screws.
