in installing or using the RX3042H, and provides instructions for

using several IP utilities to diagnose problems.
Contact Customer Support if these suggestions do not resolve the

problem.

Problem

Troubleshooting Suggestion

LEDs
Power LED does

not illuminate after

product is turned on.

Verify that you are using the AC adapter provided with

the device and that it is securely connected to the

RX3042H and a wall socket/power strip.

LINK WAN LED

does not illuminate

after Ethernet

cable is attached.

Verify that an Ethernet cable like the one provided is

securely connected to the Ethernet port of your ADSL

or cable modem and the WAN port of the RX3042H.

Make sure that your ADSL or cable modem is powered

on. Wait 30 seconds to allow the RX3042H to negotiate

a connection with your broadband modem.

LINK LAN LED

does not illuminate

after Ethernet

cable is attached.

Verify that the Ethernet cable is securely connected to

your LAN hub or PC and to the RX3042H. Make sure

the PC and/or hub is turned on.
Verify that your cable is sufficient for your network

requirements. A 100 Mbit/sec network (100BaseTx)

should use cables labeled Cat 5. 10Mbit/sec cables

may tolerate lower quality cables.

Internet Access
PC cannot

access Internet

Use the ping utility, discussed in the following section,

to check whether your PC can communicate with the

RX3042Hʼs LAN IP address (by default 192.168.1.1). If

it cannot, check the Ethernet cabling.
If you statically assigned a private IP address to the

computer, (not a registered public address), verify the

following:

• Check that the gateway IP address on the

computer is your public IP address (see the

Quick Start Guide chapter, Part 2 for instructions

on viewing the IP information.) If it is not, correct

the address or configure the PC to receive IP

information automatically.
