5.4 Problems with LAN Interface

I cannot access the router from the LAN or ping any computer on the LAN.

STEPS

CORRECTIVE ACTION

1

Check the Ethernet LEDs on the front panel. A LAN LED should be on for a port that has

a PC connected. If it is off, check the cables between your router and the PC. Make sure

you have uninstalled any software firewall for troubleshooting.

2

Make sure that the IP address and the subnet mask is consistent between the router

and the workstation.

5.5 Problems with WAN Interface

Initialization of the ADSL connection failed.

STEPS

CORRECTIVE ACTION

1

Check the cable connections between the ADSL port and the wall jack. The ADSL LED

on the front panel of the router should be on.

2

Check that your VPI, VCI, type of encapsulation and type of multiplexing settings are the

same as what you collected from your telephone company and ISP.

3

Restart the router. If you still have problems, you may need to verify your VPI, VCI, type

of encapsulation and type of multiplexing settings with the telephone company and ISP.

I cannot get a WAN IP address from the ISP.

STEPS

CORRECTIVE ACTION

1

Ensure that all other devices connected to the same telephone line as your router (e.g.

telephones, fax machines, analogue modems) have a line filter connected between

them and the wall socket (unless your are using a Central Splitter or Central Filter

installed by the qualified and licensed electrician), and ensure that all line filters are

correctly installed and right way around.

2

Missing line filters or line filters installed the wrong way around can cause problems with

your ADSL connection, including causing frequent disconnects.

Frequent loss of ADSL line sync (disconnections).

STEPS

CORRECTIVE ACTION

1

The ISP provides the WAN IP address after authenticating you. Authentication may be

through the user name and password, the MAC address or the host name.

2

The username and password apply to PPPoE and PPoA encapsulation only. Make sure

that you have entered the correct Service Type, User Name and Password (be sure to

use the correct casing).
