FBR-1416 User Guide

If you can't connect

If the FBR-1416 does not respond, check the following:
• The FBR-1416 is properly installed, LAN connection is OK, and it is powered

ON. You can test the connection by using the "Ping" command:
• Open the MS-DOS window or command prompt window.
• Enter the command:

ping 192.168.0.1

If no response is received, either the connection is not working, or your
PC's IP address is not compatible with the FBR-1416's IP Address. (See
next item.)

• If your PC is using a fixed IP Address, its IP Address must be within the range

192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254 to be compatible with the FBR-1416's default IP
Address of 192.168.0.1. Also, the Network Mask must be set to 255.255.255.0.
See Chapter 4 - PC Configuration for details on checking your PC's TCP/IP
settings.

• Ensure that your PC and the FBR-1416 are on the same network segment. (If

you don't have a router, this must be the case.)

Setup Wizard

The first time you connect to the FBR-1416, the Setup Wizard will run automatically. (The
Setup Wizard will also run if the FBR-1416's default settings are restored.)

1. Step through the Wizard until finished.

• You need the data supplied by your ISP. Most connection methods require some data

input.

• The common connection types are explained in the table below.

2. On the final screen of the Wizard, run the test and check that an Internet connection can be

established.

3. If the connection test fails:

• Check all connections, and the front panel LEDs.
