Reference Guide for the Model RP114 Web Safe Router

11-2 Troubleshooting

Test LED Never Blinks or LED Stays On

When the router is turned on, the Test LED blinks for about 30 seconds at a rate of approximately

0.5 Hz and then turns off. If the Test LED does not blink, or if it stops blinking and stays on, there

is a fault within the router.

If you experience problems with the Test LED:

• Cycle the power to see if the router recovers and the LED blinks for the correct amount of

time.

If the error persists, you might have a hardware problem and should contact technical support.

LNK/ACT LEDs Not On

If either the LAN LNK/ACT LED or WAN LNK LED does not light when the Ethernet connection

is made, check the following:

• Make sure that the Ethernet cable connections are secure at the router and at the hub or

workstation.

• Make sure that power is turned on to the connected hub or workstation.

• Besureyouareusingthecorrectcable:

— When connecting the router’s WAN port to a cable or DSL modem, use the cable that was

supplied with the cable or DSL modem. This cable may be a standard straight-through

Ethernet cable or an Ethernet crossover cable.

Troubleshooting the Web Configuration Interface

If you are unable to access the router’s Web Configuration interface from a PC on your local

network, check the following:

• Check the Ethernet connection between your PC and the router as described in the previous

section.

• Make sure your PC’s IP address is on the same subnet as the router. If you are using the

recommended addressing scheme, your PC’s address should be in the range of 192.168.0.2 to

192.168.0.32. Refer to “Verifying TCP/IP Properties (Windows)“ on page 3-4 or “Verifying

TCP/IP Properties (Macintosh)“ on page 3-6 to find your PC’s IP address. Follow the

instructions in Chapter 3 to configure your PC.
