Introduction

The Linksys EtherFast Cable/DSL & Voice Router

Congratulations on your purchase of a Instant Broadband EtherFast

Cable/DSL & Voice Router powered by Net2Phone. The Instant Broadband

EtherFast Cable/DSL & Voice Router powered by Net2Phone is the perfect

solution for connecting a small group of PCs to a high-speed broadband

Internet connection or a 10/100 Ethernet backbone—and it features Voice

Over IP telephone calls powered by Net2Phone. With the Router installed, no

other special hardware is necessary for telephone calls. An ordinary tele-

phone connects to the RJ-11 port (telephone jack) on the back of the Router,

and calls are routed by Net2Phone’s superior quality network to anywhere in

the world—significantly reducing long distance charges.

Configurable as a DHCP server for your existing network, the EtherFast®

Cable/DSL &Voice Router acts as the only externally recognized Internet gate-

way on your local area network (LAN). The Router can be configured to filter

internal users’ access to the Internet and serve as an Internet firewall against

unwanted outside intruders. In addition to making Internet access available for

up to 253 PCs on the network, it adds an additional voice phone line for out-

going calls at no additional cost. None of your PCs even have to be turned on

to make calls. The EtherFast® Cable/DSL & Voice Router handles all of your

network and telephony needs in one integrated unit.

About Net2Phone

Net2Phone is a leading provider of voice-enhanced Internet communications

services to individuals and businesses.

Recognized as the company that first bridged the Internet with the public

switched telephone network, Net2Phone routes millions of minutes daily over

the Internet. Using its advanced IP (Internet Protocol) network and technolo-

gies, Net2Phone routes voice and other value-added applications worldwide.

Internet calls are less expensive than traditional phone calls primarily because

these calls are routed over the Internet. Bypassing much of the traditional

phone network makes it possible for Net2Phone to provide incredibly low rates

for the millions of calls it delivers worldwide.

Features

Instant BroadbandTM Series EtherFast® Cable/DSL & Voice Router powered by Net2Phone

NNoottee::This product is for use in the

United States and Canada only.

Uplink The Uplink Port is where you can expand your net-

work by connecting to another switch or hub. The

Uplink Port is shared with Port 4. Uplinking to

another Router, switch or a hub is done by simply

running a cable from the Uplink Port to the other

device. If the Uplink port is being used, Port 4 will

not work.

Phone The Phone Port is where you will connect your

standard telephone.

Power The Power Port is where you will connect the

included AC Power adapter.

The Reset Button*

Briefly pressing the Reset Button will refresh the Router’s connec-

tions, potentially clearing any jammed links.

Pressing the Reset Button and holding it in for a few seconds will

clear all of the Router’s data and restore the factory defaults. This should be

done only if you are experiencing heavy routing problems, and only after you

have exhausted all of the other troubleshooting options. By resetting the Router,

you run the risk of creating conflicts between your PCs’ actual IP Addresses and

what the Router thinks their IP Addresses should be. You may be forced to

reboot the entire system(s).

If your router locks up, simply power it down for 3 to 5 seconds by removing the

power cable from the Router’s Power Port. Leaving the power off for too long

could result in the loss of network connections.

The Net2Phone Router’s Rear Panel

The rear panel of the Router is where all of the Router’s connections are

made.

WAN The WAN (Wide Area Network) Port is where you

will connect your cable or DSL modem.

Ports 1-4 These four LAN (Local Area Network) ports are

where you will connect networked devices, such as

PCs, print servers, remote hard drives, and any-

thing else you want to put on your network. If Port

4 is being used, the Uplink Port will not work.

Link Green. The Link LED illuminates when a successful con-

nection is made between the Router and your Broadband

device or network.

Act Green. The Act LED flickers when the Router is sending or

receiving data over the broadband port.

Diag Red. The Diag LED illuminates when the Router goes

through its self-diagnosis mode during boot-up. It will turn

off upon successful completion of the diagnosis. If this

LED stays on for an abnormally long period of time, refer

to the Troubleshooting section.

In Use Green. The Net2Phone LED illuminates when there is an

open phone connection.

Power Green. The Power LED illuminates when the Router is pow-

ered on.

Link/Act Green. The Link/Act LED serves two purposes. If the LED

is continuously illuminated, the Router is successfully con-

nected to a device through the corresponding port (1, 2, 3

or 4). If the LED is flickering, the Router is actively send-

ing or receiving data over that port.

Full/Col Green. The Full/Col LED also serves two purposes. If this

LED is continuously illuminated, the connection made

through the corresponding port is successfully running in

Full Duplex mode. If the LED is flickering, the connection

is experiencing collisions. Infrequent collisions are normal.

If this LED is flickering too often, there may be a problem

with your connection. Check the Troubleshooting section if

you think there is a problem.

100 Orange. The 100 LED illuminates when a successful

100Mbps connection is made through the corresponding

port.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) DHCP is software that automati-

cally assigns IP addresses to client stations logging onto a TCP/IP network.

DHCP eliminates having to manually assign permanent IP addresses to every

device on your network. DHCP software typically runs in servers and is also

found in network devices such as Routers.

Connecting Your Hardware Together and Booting Up

Once you are sure that you have the above values on hand, you can begin the

Installation and Setup of your EtherFast Cable/DSL & Voice Router.

1. Power everything down, including your PCs, your Cable or DSL modem

and the Router.

2. Connect a Network cable from one of your PCs’ Ethernet ports to one of

the LAN Ports on the back of the Router. Do the same with all the PCs you

wish to connect to the Router. (LAN Port 4 will become inactive if you use

the Uplink port.)

3. Connect the network cable from your Cable or DSL modem to the WAN

port on the rear of the Router.

ConnectingtheCable/DSL

VoiceRoutertoYourNetwork

Overview

Unlike a simple hub or switch, the setup of the Cable/DSL Voice Router con-

sists of more than simply plugging everything together. Because the Router

acts as a DHCP server, you will have to set some values within the Router,

and also configure your networked PCs to accept the IP Addresses the Router

chooses to assign them.

You will need the following values from your ISP in order to install the

Net2Phone Cable/DSL Router:

• Your account and PIN number from Net2Phone (to use their service)

• Your broadband-configured PC’s fixed Internet IP Address (if applicable)

• Your broadband-configured PC’s Computer Name and Workgroup Name

• Your Subnet Mask

•Your Default Gateway

•Your Primary DNS IP address

Whoever installed your broadband access should have left this information

with you. If not, call your ISP and they will be able to supply you with it.

About Static & Dynamic IP Addresses

Static IP Addresses A static IP address is an IP address permanently assigned

to computer in a TCP/IP network. Static IP addresses are usually assigned to

networked devices which are consistently accessed by multiple users, such as

Server PCs, or printers. If you are using your Router to share your cable or

DSL Internet connection, contact your ISP to see if they have assigned your

home a static IP address.You will need that address during your Router’s con-

figuration.

Dynamic IP Addresses A dynamic IP address is an IP address that is automati-

cally assigned to a client station (computer, printer, etc.) in a TCP/IP network.

Dynamic IP addresses are typically assigned by a DHCP server, which can be

a computer on the network or another piece of hardware, such as the Router.

A dynamic IP address may change every time your computer connects to the

network.

}Only if applicable

Now that your Router is physically installed, you will have to configure your

PCs to accept the IP addresses that your Router will provide.

These instructions apply only to Windows 95 and Windows 98

machines. For TCP/IP setup under Windows NT, please refer to

your Microsoft Windows NT manual.

1. Click the Start button, select Settings, then Control Panel.

2. Double-click the Network icon.

3. In the Configuration window, select the TCP/IP protocol line that has

been associated with your network card/adapter.

4. Connect the power-supply cable to the Power port on the rear of the

Router, then plug the supplied AC power cable into a power outlet.

• The Power LED will illuminate green as soon as the power adapter is

connected.

• The Diag LED will illuminate red for a few seconds while the Router

goes through its internal diagnostic test. The LED will turn off when the

self-test is complete.

5. Power on the Cable or DSL modem.

6. Press the Reset button on the front of the router. Hold the button in for

three seconds, or until the Diag LED illuminates red. This restores the

router’s default settings.

7. Connect a Standard Phone Cord to the RJ-11 Port on the Back of the

Router. Connect the other end of the cord to your standard telephone.

You will now be able to access the Voice Over IP features from this tele-

phone.

The Hardware Installation is complete. Continue to the next page to con-

figure your PCs and Router.

NNoottee::Some ISPs—most notably some cable providers—configure

their networks so that you do not have to enter a full Internet

address into your web browser or e-mail application to reach your

home page or receive your e-mail. If your Internet home page

address is something very simple, such as “www”, rather than

“www.linksys.com”, or your e-mail server’s address is something similar to “e-

mail” or “pop3”, rather than “pop.mail.linksys.com”, you won’t be able to prop-

erly configure your Cable/DSL & Voice Router until you determine the actual

Internet addresses of your Web and e-mail connections.

You mmuussttobtain this information prior to connecting the Router to your network.

You can obtain this information by contacting your ISP, or you can turn to page

36 to learn how to

ping

for an IP address.

4. Configure the following values.

Host Name & Domain Name These fields allow you to supply a host and

domain name for the Router. Some ISPs require these names as identifi-

cation. You may have to check with your ISP to see if your Broadband

Internet service has been configured with a host and domain name. In

most cases, leaving these fields blank will work.

LAN IPAddress These values refer to your internal network settings.

Unless you have specific internal needs, there should be no reason to

change these values. For the internal LAN, the default values are as fol-

lows.

• Private IP Address: 192.168.1.1

• Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

WAN IPAddress These values refer to the outside network you connect to

every time you access your Broadband Internet connection. Most

Broadband ISPs assign their clients with a different IP address each time

they log on. If this is the case with your ISP, click Obtain an IP

Address Automatically and continue to step 5. If your ISP assigns you a

fixed IP address, click Specify an IP Address and enter the address into

the Subnet Mask, Default Gateway Address and DNS fields provided

by the ISP.

PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) Some DSL-based ISPs

use PPPoE to establish communications with an end-user. If you are using

a DSL line, check with your ISP to see if they use PPPoE. If they do use

PPPoE, you must enable it. If you do enable PPPoE, remember to remove

any existing PPPoE applications already on any of your PCs. To enable

PPPoE:

1. Click on the Enable option in the PPPoE section of the Setup screen.

2. Enter the User Name you use to log on to your Internet connection.

3. Enter your corresponding Password.
