ADE-4120 . If the error persists, you may have a
hardware problem. In this case you should contact
technical support.

connection failed.

Ensure that the cable is connected properly from the
ADSL port to the wall jack. The ADSL LED on the front
panel of the ADE-4120 should be on. 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. Reboot the ADE-4120 . If
you still have problems, you may need to verify these
variables with the telephone company and/or ISP.

Check the Ethernet LNK/ACT LEDs on the front panel.
The LED should be on for a port that has a station

ADE-4120 and the station. Make sure you have
uninstalled any software firewall.

’t ping any station

on the LAN.

Verify that the IP address and the subnet mask are
consistent between the ADE-4120 and the
