Wireless Broadband
- Do not place the wireless modem or device supplied by our company on or near the following:
- Metal file cabinets or other metal objects
- Microwave ovens
- Cordless phones
- Television sets
- Computer monitors or on Computer Stations
- Computer must have an Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) installed
- NIC must be set to obtain an IP automatically
- NIC must be set to obtain DNS automatically
- If using a dialup connection prior to a wireless connection, make sure the dialup is set to the option labeled “Never dial a connection”. This will prevent the modem from automatically dialing while establishing a wireless connection.
- Before turning on the wireless modem:
- Turn antenna on the front of the wireless modem clockwise to the “Up” position
- Plug Ethernet cable from the NIC to the wireless port on back of the modem
- Follow instruction #1 while setting up the modem
- To power on the wireless modem:
- Plug power cord into the wall and the modem
- Turn on power switch at the back of the wireless modem
- Understanding the lights on the wireless modem:
- There are 3 lights on the front of the modem
- The Top Light is the signal for connectivity
- A solid light, whether it’s red, yellow, or green, means you have a connection.
- When the connectivity light is blinking it means you do not have a connection.
- The Middle Light is the battery power light
- Currently there is no available battery power for wireless modems, but in the future the light will be green or yellow, with yellow indicating low battery power.
- The Bottom Light is the power light, which will illuminate green while the power is on
