Installation
This Chapter covers the physical installation of the LevelOne Broadband Router.
Requirements
- Network cable - standard 10/100BaseT network (UTP) cable with RJ45
connectors.
- TCP/IP protocol must be installed on all PCs.
- DSL or Cable modem, and an Internet Access account with an ISP, for shared
Internet access.
Installation Procedure
- FBR-1100TX

Figure 6: Installation Diagram
1. Choose an Installation Site
- Select a suitable place on the network to install the LevelOne Broadband Router.
Ensure the LevelOne Broadband Router and the DSL/Cable modem are powered OFF.
2. Connect LAN Cables
- Connect a standard LAN cable from a 10BaseT or 100BaseT Hub on your LAN to the "LAN" port on the LevelOne Broadband Router.
3. Connect WAN Cable
- Connect the DSL or Cable modem to the WAN port on the LevelOne Broadband Router. Use the cable supplied with your DSL/Cable modem. If no cable was supplied, use a standard cable.
4. Power Up
- Power on the Cable or DSL modem.
- Connect the supplied power adapter to the LevelOne Broadband Router and
power up.
Use only the power adapter provided. Using a different one may
cause hardware damage
5. Check the LEDs
- When the LevelOne Broadband Router is powered On, the Data/Status LED
should flash Orange, then turn Green. If it stays Orange, or flashes
Orange/Green, there is a hardware problem.
- The WAN Data LED (on the top) should be ON.
- The LAN Link LED (beside the LAN connection) should be ON.
- The WAN Link LED (beside the WAN connection) should be ON.

Figure 7: Installation Diagram
1. Choose an Installation Site
- Select a suitable place on the network to install the LevelOne Broadband Router.
Ensure the LevelOne Broadband Router and the DSL/Cable modem are powered OFF.
2. Connect LAN Cable
- Use standard LAN cables to connect PCs to the Switching Hub ports on the LevelOne Broadband Router. Both 10BaseT and 100BaseT connections can be used simultaneously.
If required, connect any port to a normal port on another Hub, using a standard LAN cable. Any LAN port on the LevelOne Broadband Router will automatically function as an "Uplink" port when required.
3. Connect WAN Cable
- If you have a DSL modem or Cable modem, connect it to the WAN port on the LevelOne Broadband Router. Use the cable supplied with your modem. If no cable was supplied, use a standard LAN cable.
4. Power Up
- Connect the supplied power adapter and power up.
Use only the power adapter provided.
5. Check the LEDs
- The Status LED should flash, then turn Off. If it stays on, there is
a hardware error.
- The Power LED should be ON.
- One (1) of the LAN LEDs (10 or 100) should be ON.
- The WAN LED should be ON.
