Quick Installation

This Quick Installation part describes how to connect the ZXDSL 831C device to your computer, LAN and the Internet.

This Quick Installation assumes you have subscribed to an ISP for ADSL service and only covers the basic configurations to be applied to residential or corporate networks.

Hardware Connection

Recommendation: It is recommended to follow the first example in actual connection!

Note: In the circumstance where the first connection example is not applicable and you choose to use the second example, you must install a MicroFilter on the telephone line (a splitter can never be used to replace the MicroFilter).Special attention: Installing a telephone directly before the splitter will lead to a failure to connect to the CO side device and the Internet or slow connection speed. If you need to connect a telephone to the telephone line before the splitter, a MicroFilter is required. (Generally, you can connect only one MicroFilter before the splitter for reducing noise.)

Shown as the two examples below, use a Telephone line to connect the DSL port of ZXDSL 831C to the MODEM port of the splitter, and connect the telephone line to the PHONE port of the splitter. Then connect the wall phone jack with the LINE port of the splitter.
The splitter comes with three connectors as below:
LINE: Connects to a wall phone jack (RJ-11 jack)
MODEM: Connects to the DSL jack of ZXDSL 831C
PHONE: Connects to a telephone set

Use an Ethernet cable (straight-through or cross-over) to connect the LAN port of ZXDSL 831C to your LAN or a PC with network card installed.

Connect the power cord to the PWR connector on ZXDSL 831C, then plug in the AC power adapter to the AC power outlet, and then press the on-off button.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->7 <!--[endif]--> FAQ

This chapter suggests solutions for problems you may encounter in installing or using ZXDSL 831C. If the provided instructions are helpless to solve your problems, consult with your ADSL service provide for support.

Problem	Troubleshooting Suggestion
Power LED does not illuminate after the device is turned on	Verify that you are using the AC adapter provided with the device and that it is securely connected to the ZXDSL 831C and a wall socket/power strip.
DSL LED does not illuminate after the phone line is attached	Make sure to use a standard telephone line (provided with the device). And verify that you had correctly connected the device following the relevant description in Chapter 3. Wait for 60 seconds when the ZXDSL 831C is negotiating a connection with your ADSL service provider.
DSL LED is in a Lights-off and fast-blinking cycle after phone line is attached	This indicates your ZXDSL 831C cannot establish an ADSL connection to the CO. Verify you have installed ZXDSL 831C based on the installation examples (refer to the connection example figures in Chapter 3). It is recommended to use the first example. If the second one is implemented, make sure you have properly installed the MicroFilter.
LAN (10M/100M) LED does not illuminate after Ethernet cable is attached	Verify that the Ethernet cable is securely connected to your hub/PC and to the ZXDSL 831C. Make sure the PC/hub is turned on. Make sure you are using a correct cable.
PC cannot access the Internet	Use the ping utility to check whether your PC can communicate with the device’s LAN IP address (by default 192.168.1.1). If you fail in the ping, check the Ethernet cabling and the LED status. If you statically assign 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 valid IP address. If it is not, correct the address or configure the PC to receive IP information automatically. Verify with your ADSL service provider that the DNS server specified for the PC is valid. Correct the address or configure the PC to receive this information automatically. If a NAT rule is already defined on device to translate the private address to your public IP address, make sure the IP address specified on your PC meets the IP range specified in the NAT rule. Perhaps, your ADSL service provider’s CO equipment is malfunctioned.
Web pages can’t be displayed.	Verify that the DNS server specified on the PCs is correct for your ISP. You can use the ping utility to test the connectivity of your PC with your ADSL service provider’s DNS server.
