Q. My ADSL light does not come on solid.

A. Verify on the VisionNet modem that the ADSL light is Solid Green. If the light is NOT on, verify the following:

Check Phone Line connection to the modem. The phone line should connect from the phone jack to the port labeled “LINE” located on the rear of the unit. The ADSL light is located on the top of the modem and should flash for several seconds and then become SOLID Green.

If the ADSL light does not become SOLID GREEN, disconnect the cable from the Line jack of the modem and insert it into the port labeled “SWAPPER” located on the rear of the unit. The ADSL light is located on the top of the modem and should flash for a several seconds and then become SOLID Green.

Q. I have a dynamic address and would like to have multiple device access?

A: You need to enable NAPT (Network Address Port Translation). NAPT is factory enabled. This allows you to share a single Internet address with multiple device (i.e. PC) access. To enable this feature, browse the VisionNet router and select NAT. Chose NAPT, save settings, and submit settings.

Q. How do I connect more than 1 PC to my VisionNet modem?

A. You need to purchase an Ethernet Hub or Switch and connect a cable from the VisionNet Ethernet port to the Uplink port on your Hub or Switch. If your Hub/Switch does not support an Uplink port, you must purchase an Ethernet crossover cable. Connect the crossover cable from the VisionNet Ethernet port to any port on the Hub/Switch. The LAN light should come ON. If not, verify your cable or uplink port setting on your hub/switch.
