Check to see that the power LED is green and than the network cables are installed correctly. Refer to the easy start guide for more details. 2. Check to see that the ETH/LAN and PPP/WAN LEDs are green. 3. Check to see that the DSL LED is green 4.
5.4 The DSL Link LED is always off 1. Make sure you have DSL service. You should get some kind of information from your ISP that states that DSL service is installed. You can usually tell if the service is installed by listening to the phone line; you will hear some high-pitched noise. If you do not hear highpitched noise, contact your ISP. 2. Verify that the phone line is connected directly to the wall and to the line input on the Lynx L210.
6. Lynx L-210 terms What is a firewall? A firewall is protection between the Internet and your local network. It acts similarly to the firewall in your car, protecting the interior of the car from the engine. Your car's firewall has very small opening that allow desired connections from the engine into the cabin (gas pedal connection, etc), but if something happens to your engine, you are protected. The firewall in the Lynx L-210 is very similar.
One of the configuration parameters transmitted to each network device is its default gateway. This address is configured by the network administrators and it informs each personal computer or other network device where to send data if the target station does not reside on the same subnet as the source.
