How to connect the SMC 7204BRB router?

Before connecting, turn off all devices. First connect the RJ-11 telephone cable to the DSL port, then connect the Ethernet cable between the router and your computer or hub. Finally, plug in the 12 V power supply. Then turn on your systems.

How to configure Internet settings on my Windows XP PC?

Go to Control Panel, then Network Connections. Right-click on 'Local Area Connection', choose Properties. Select 'Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)' and click Properties. Check 'Obtain an IP address automatically' and 'Obtain DNS server address automatically'. Click OK to confirm.

What to do if the AutoSetup utility does not find my ISP?

If your ISP does not appear in the list, click on 'Custom'. You will then need to manually enter the parameters provided by your ISP: encapsulation (VC-Mux or LLC) and VPI/VCI numbers (e.g., 0/38).

How to reset the router to factory settings?

Use the Reset button on the back of the router. Press and hold it for more than 5 seconds to restore default settings. A press of 1 to 2 seconds performs a simple reset.

What do the LEDs on the front panel mean?

The green Power LED indicates the device is powered on. Solid green DSL Link means the ADSL line is established. Flashing green DSL TX/RX indicates DSL activity. Ethernet 1-4 LEDs: solid green = 100 Mbps link, solid yellow = 10 Mbps link, flashing yellow = activity.

Can I connect multiple computers without a hub?

Yes, the router has a built-in 4-port switch. You can connect up to 4 computers directly to the router's Ethernet ports.

What are the minimum requirements to use this router?

You must have an active ADSL service with at least one public IP address. Each computer must have a 10/100 Ethernet network card and a web browser (Internet Explorer 5.0+ or Netscape 6.1+).

How to install the router under Windows 98/Me?

Under Windows 98/Me, go to Control Panel, double-click Network. Check that TCP/IP protocol is installed. If not, add it (Microsoft > TCP/IP). Then, in TCP/IP properties, select 'IP address assigned by server' and 'DNS server address assigned by server'.

The router cannot connect to the Internet after configuration, what to do?

Check that all cables are properly connected and that your ADSL service is active. Re-run the AutoSetup utility or check settings manually. Make sure the DSL and Ethernet LEDs are lit. Refer to the Troubleshooting section of the user manual.

This Quick Installation Guide provides basic instructions for connecting the ADSL Barricade™ to a computer or LAN and to the Internet.

Section 1 describes how to set up the hardware.
Section 2 describes how to configure Internet properties on your computer(s).
- Section 3 shows you how to configure ISP settings using Auto Setup utility.

This Guide assumes that you have already established an ADSL service with your Internet service provider (ISP). These instructions provide a basic configuration that should be compatible with your home or small office network setup.

1 Connecting the Hardware

Warning: Before you begin, turn the power off for all devices. These include your computer(s), your LAN hub/switch (if applicable), and the ADSL Barricade™.

Step 1. Connect the ADSL cable

Connect one end of the provided phone cable (RJ-11) to the port labeled DSL on the Rear Panel of the device. Connect the other end to your ADSL Microfilter/Splitter*.

*Note: ADSL splitters/microfilters are included with some models.

Step 2. Connect the Ethernet cable

If you are connecting a LAN to the ADSL Barricade™, attach one end of a provided Ethernet cable to hub/switch port and the other to the Ethernet port on the ADSL Barricade™. If you are using the ADSL Barricade™ with a single computer and no hub, you must use an Ethernet cable to attach the PC directly to the device.

Step 3. Attach the power connector

Connect the AC power adapter to the Power connector on the back of the device and plug in the adapter to a wall outlet or power strip.

Step 4. Power up your systems

Turn on and boot up your computer(s) and any LAN device such as hubs or switches.
