run that software. You might need to go to the browser Tools menu, Internet Options,

Connections tab, and disable auto dialing.

d. To verify that the VPN network is operating correctly check the VPN firewall

LEDs:

•Power.The Power LED should turn solid green. If it does not turn solid

green, check that the power adapter is connected to an AC outlet.

•Test. The Test LED lights when the router is first turned on and then goes

off. If after 2 minutes it is still lit, see the Troubleshooting Tips in this guide.

•WAN. The WAN port LED should be lit. If it is not, make sure that the

Ethernet cable is attached to the VPN firewall WAN port and the modem.

Also, make sure that the modem is powered on.

•LAN. Each LAN port has two LEDs. The green LED on the upper left

indicates network activity. The right LED indicates communication speed.

It is green for 1000 Mbps, amber for 100 Mbps, and off for 10 Mbps. If the

LAN port LED is not on, check that the Ethernet cable from the computer

to the firewall is attached at both ends, and that the computer is on.

computer MAC address. If you are not using the computer registered with your

ISP, see the reference manual to manually enter the correct MAC address.
