Procedure

Figure 3: Installation Diagram
1. Choose an Installation Site
- Select a suitable physical location.
Ensure the LevelOne WBR-1101TX and the DSL/Cable modem are powered OFF.
2. Insert Wireless PCMCIA card
- Ensuring the supplied Wireless PCMCIA card is the right way up, insert it into the slot on the rear. Push it firmly until it clicks into position.
3. Set the ISDN/WAN Push Button
- The ISDN/WAN push button is on the rear panel. Ensure it is set correctly:
Depressed (in) - ISDN port is active.
Extended (out) - WAN port is active.
 |
The WAN port and ISDN ports can NOT be used simultaneously. The ISDN/WAN push button on the rear panel determines which port is active. |
4. Connect WAN cable OR ISDN cable
- If you have a Broadband modem, connect it to the WAN port on the LevelOne
WBR-1101TX. Use the cable supplied with your broadband modem. If no cable was
supplied, use a standard LAN cable.
- If using an ISDN connection, connect the ISDN port on the LevelOne
WBR-1101TX to the S/T connector on your ISDN NT1 (Network Terminator 1).
5. Connect LAN Cable
- Connect a standard LAN cable from a 10BaseT or 100BaseT Hub on your LAN to the "HUB" port on the LevelOne WBR-1101TX.
6. Connect Serial Port Modem (optional)
- If you wish to use an Analog modem or external ISDN TA, use a standard serial cable to connect it to the Serial port on the LevelOne WBR-1101TX.
7. Connect Printer Cable
- Use a standard parallel printer cable to connect your printer to the Printer port on the LevelOne WBR-1101TX.
8. Power Up
- Connect the supplied power adapter and power up.
Use only the power adapter provided.
9. Check the LEDs
- The Power LED should be ON.
- The Status LED should flash, then turn Off. If it stays on, there is
a hardware error.
- One (1) of the LAN LEDs (10 or 100) should be ON.
- The Wireless LED should be ON.
- If the printer is On and On-line, the Print Act LED should be
ON.
- If using the WAN port, the WAN LED should be ON. (If it is not, check that
the Broadband modem is connected and ON.)
If using the ISDN port, the ISDN
LED should be OFF. It will not come On until a connection to your ISP is
established.
