Place the Hotwire 6341/6342 SDSL Router on a flat surface with clearance for the rear connectors. NOTE: The following illustrations show the Hotwire 6342 SDSL Router with a 4-port Ethernet hub. The Hotwire 6341 SDSL Router is identical except that it has one Ethernet port. Procedure1. Use the RJ11 6-pin cable for the DSL connection. Insert one end of the cable into the jack labeled DSL. Insert the other end into the wall jack labeled DSL. Fig. 1.1

2. Use an 8-pin Ethernet cable for the Ethernet connection. Insert one end of the cable into the jack labeled ETHERNET. If you are installing the Hotwire 6342 SDSL Router, go to text below 1.3 For a 6341 SDSL router, use a straight-through cable to connect the other end to an Ethernet hub. Do not connect a straight-through cable to the external hub's UPLINK connection (this connection requires a crossover cable). Figure 1.2

For a 6341 SDSL router, use an Ethernet crossover cable and connect the other end to a PC with an Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) installed. Fig. 1.3

For a 6342 SDSL router, use a straight-through cable to connect the other end to a PC with an Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) installed. Or use an Ethernet crossover cable to connect the other end to an external hub. Fig. 1.4

3. The Console port acts as a DCE and uses an 8-pin straight-through cable for the connection to a VT100-compatible terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program. This is an optional connection used only for local configuration of the DSL router. Connect the DB9 adapter to the PC and connect the cable to a PC or laptop. Lnsert one end of the straight-through cable into the jack labeled CONSOLE. Insert the other end into the DB9 adapter for the serial port of the VT100 terminal or PC.

The Hotwire 6341/6342 SDSL Router hardware installation is now complete. When the power cord is installed, the SDSL router goes through a power-on self-test.

Power-On When power is applied, the Hotwire 6341/6342 SDSL Router performs self-diagnostics and the PWR LED is on. The self-diagnostics includes a power-on self-test. During the power-on self-test, all of the LEDs turn on for one second. Fig. 1.7

Refer to Troubleshooting below for LED indications requiring action. Status LEDs All of the LEDs turn on and off during the power-on self-test. After a successful self-test, the LEDs should appear as indicated in BOLD in the Condition column below. Troubleshooting Text Version of Detailed Method of Procedures Back to FAQ's
