for the security key, please refer to page 32 of the user manual.

If you are running an operating system from a different vendor

such as Linux or MAC OS, please refer to the online user manual

for assistance in installing the W40.

hardware installation menu screen.

3. You may use the “Next” and “Previous” buttons to navigate the installation steps. Click the

“Next” button on the welcome screen now.

4. The package content screen will now be displayed (See figure below). Move your mouse

cursor over each item label in the list to view a picture of the specific item, or click the “Play Video”

6. An installation diagram overview will now be displayed (see figure below). Please ensure

that you have correctly connected all the related hardware and cables. Please click “Next”.

7. The Network Connection Setup step will be displayed next (see figure below). Note that in

order for this wizard to set up your router successfully, your computer needs to be able to

communicate with the MWEB W40 router. This is achieved by setting your computer to

automatically obtain an IP address from the MWEB W40. Note that all static and custom network

settings will be overwritten for the selected network card.

This screen will allow you to choose the network card and to set it up to receive an IP address from

the MWEB W40. A list of the available network cards is displayed in the dropdown box at the top of

the form, while the detail of the currently selected card is displayed in the centre part of the form.

Please select the network card you want the wizard to alter from the dropdown box. Note that

wireless and other non-cable connections are not valid options and will thus not be displayed in the

list.

Once you have made your selection and confirmed that it is indeed the network card you want to

use, click on the “Setup Network Card” button in the bottom-right corner to setup your network

connection. On successful completion of this process, the Diagnostics test screen will appear.

Quick Start Guide

MW/W40 V4.0A-090115 Page 10

If your network connection was already setup to obtain its IP

address automatically, you computer might have already

established communications with the MWEB W40 router and the

wizard might have skipped directly to the Diagnostics step.

For advanced users: If you do not wish to use the automatic

network card setup step and you want to use a static IP scheme,

please make sure that your network connection is setup in the

correct IP range. Note that the MWEB W40 has a default IP

address of 192.168.1.254, so your computer needs to be setup in

the following range 192.168.1.x. Also setup your default gateway

and DNS server to point to the IP address of the W40.

8. On the Diagnostics test screen (see figure below), four tests will be performed to determine

the current status of your MWEB W40 router. These tests include:

Testing the network connection to your MWEB W40

Testing ADSL Synchronization

Testing a PPP connection

Testing a limited Internet connection using the MWEB guest account

Click on the “Diagnose” button to start the test. Should any of the four tests fail, you will be notified

of the specific failure and assisted in correcting the fault. Please follow the instructions carefully in

order to rectify any possible problems. On passing all four tests, the wizard will proceed to the next

step: Telkom Line Verification.

9. If your line is verified, the easy setup wizard will continue to the next step. If not, the Telkom

Line Verification step will help you verify your ADSL service on the live Telkom ADSL verification

webpage. Please follow the instructions on the webpage as opened in the frame on the right hand

side of the form. See figure below – the red block indicates the Telkom webpage frame. On
