If the LEDs illuminate as expected, test your Internet connection
from a LAN computer. To do this, open your web browser, and
type the URL of any external website (such as
http://www.yahoo.com). The LED labeled INTERNET should
blink rapidly and then appear solid as the device connects to the
site.
If the LEDs do not illuminate as expected, you may need to
configure your Internet access settings using the information
provided by your ISP. For details, see Internet Access. If the
LEDs still do not illuminate as expected or the web page is not
displayed, see Troubleshooting Suggestions or contact your
ISP for assistance.
Default device settings
In addition to handling the DSL connection to your ISP, the DSL
Modem can provide a variety of services to your network. The
device is preconfigured with default settings for use with a
typical home or small office network.
The table below lists some of the most important default
settings; these and other features are described fully in the
subsequent chapters. If you are familiar with network
configuration, review these settings to verify that they meet the
needs of your network. Follow the instructions to change them if
necessary. If you are unfamiliar with these settings, try using the
device without modification, or contact your ISP for assistance.
WARNING
We strongly recommend that you contact your ISP prior to
changing the default configuration.
