This section describes how to perform the initial setup of the Diva 2480 using the supplied Eicon Wireless PC Card. If you wish to use the
Ethernet or USB cables instead, see ‘Installing the Ethernet cable’or ‘Installing the USB cable’on page 10.
1. Connect the small round end of the power adapter to the power
connector (labelled ) on the back of the Diva 2480.
Connect the other end to a power outlet.
2. Connect the included ADSL phone cable to the ADSL port ( )
on the back of the Diva 2480.
Connect the other end of the cable to a telephone outlet.
1. Remove the Eicon Wireless PC Card from its protective case.
2. Gently slide the Eicon Wireless PC Card (label face up) into the
PC Card slot on the back of the Diva 2480.
When the card is inserted properly, the left indicator light on the
card will flash, and the right indicator light will stay solid.
Initial setup of the Diva 2480 is complete.
Note, however, that Internet access is not available until you con-
figure your Internet settings on the Diva 2480 via its web interface.
This web interface is accessed via a web browser.
For more information, see ‘What’s Next?’at the top right of this
page.
In order to access the Diva 2480’s web interface wirelessly, you
must first install the Eicon Wireless PC Card onto your computer, if
you do not already have a wireless adapter.
Depending on your operating system, see:
•Windows 2000 / Eicon Wireless PC Card Installation ................3
•Windows Me / Eicon Wireless PC Card Installation ...................4
•Windows 98 / Eicon Wireless PC Card Installation ....................4
Once installed, you can access the web interface and configure
your account settings via the web interface. See ‘Configuring
Diva 2480 Internet account settings’on page 6.
If you have a computer with a wireless LAN adapter
If you already have a computer equipped with a compatible wire-
less LAN adapter, you must configure the adapter to the default
settings of the Diva 2480. This is described below:
1. Configure your wireless LAN adapter to use the network name
eicon (all lowercase letters). This name is assigned to the
Diva 2480 by default.
Note: Network names are case-sensitive. You must use all lower case
letters when entering the name ‘eicon’.
Normally, a user can specify ‘ANY’as the network name in order
to access a wireless LAN within range, and the Diva 2480 sup-
ports this feature. However, by default , the Diva 2480 is config-
ured to ignore requests with ‘ANY’as the network name.
2. Disable encryption on your wireless LAN adapter. By default the
Diva 2480 does not use encryption.
3. Using your wireless LAN software, verify that the Diva 2480 is
responding. Your wireless LAN adapter should be assigned an
IP address of 192.168.1.x automatically.
Note: Your wireless LAN adapter must be set to acquire its IP address
dynamically, i.e., it must be set to act as a DHCP client. Most adapters
are configured this way by default.
4. Configure your account settings via the web interface.
See ‘Configuring Diva 2480 Internet account settings’
on page 6.

The Diva 2480 is assigned the network name ‘eicon’by default.
When you installed the drivers for your Eicon Wireless PC Card,
you set the network name to ‘eicon’to match this setting.
This enabled your computer to join the Diva 2480’s wireless net-
work. You then gained access to the web interface, changed your
account settings, and finally, you were able to access the Internet.
However, anyone with a computer and a compatible wireless LAN
adapter, who guesses that your network name is ‘eicon’, can ac-
cess the Internet connection you have set up.
To protect your Internet access against unauthorized use, you can
enable encryption settings on the Diva 2480. This feature is dis-
abled by default.
Note: Defining wireless security measures also prevents anyone from ac-
cessing the web interface wirelessly. However, this is not the same thing
as defining a log in password for the web interface.
1. Launch your web browser.
2. Click ‘File’, ‘Open’, enter 192.168.1.1 then click ‘OK’. The
Diva 2480 main configuration page should appear.
3. From the main menu, click ‘Advanced Configuration’, then click
‘Wireless LAN Settings’.
Note: Online help is available by clicking on the setting names.
4. In the ‘Network Name’field, enter a new name, if desired, for the
wireless LAN.
5. If you wish to encrypt your wireless transmissions, select the
‘Enable data encryption’checkbox.
6. Enter encryption key values in one or more of the four encryp-
tion key fields. Encryption keys must be either 5 or 13 charac-
ters in length. For more information on encryption keys,
consult the online help or see ‘About Encryption Keys’at right.
Note: It is strongly recommended that you write down the encryption
keys before typing them in. Key characters display as **** as they are
entered.
7. Next, select one of the keys using the drop-down menu.
The key you select will be used to encrypt outgoing data only.
Incoming data will be accepted and decrypted if it uses any of
the four keys in the key list.
Note: The 'Encrypt Data Transmission Using' setting on the Diva 2480
does not have to be the same as that on wireless stations. However, key
lists on your wireless access point and all wireless stations must be
identical in order for the wireless LAN to function properly.
8. Click ‘Save’.
If you changed the network name or the encryption settings, and
you are accessing the device via a wireless LAN card, you
should lose access to the Diva 2480. This is normal, as the set-
tings for your wireless LAN adapter no longer match those on
the Diva 2480.
To regain access, you must configure your wireless LAN adapter
so that its settings match those of the Diva 2480. This is demon-
strated in ‘Modifying WLAN settings on your computer’at right.
The wireless settings for each computer that is to have access to
your wireless LAN must match the Diva 2480’s wireless settings.
Specifically:
•The network name set for your wireless LAN adapter should
match that of the Diva 2480.
•All encryption keys defined on the Diva 2480 must also be de-
fined for your wireless LAN adapter.
The following procedure demonstrates how to do this with the
Eicon Wireless PC Card included with your Diva 2480 package.
1. Click ‘Start’, ‘Settings’, ‘Control Panel’.
2. Double-click ‘Wireless Network’.
3. Select the default profile and click ‘Edit’.
4. In the ‘Basic’tab, change the ‘Network Name’setting to match
the new network name you gave the Diva 2480.
5. If you enabled encryption on the Diva 2480, click the ‘Encryp-
tion’tab, then select ‘Enable Security’.
Enter all the encryption keys exactly as they were entered in the
for the Diva 2480 ‘s wireless LAN web page.
6. Select the key you wish to use for encrypting outgoing data from
the ‘Encrypt data transmission using’drop-down menu.
Note: This affects outgoing data only. The choice of key does not have
to match that of the Diva 2480.
7. Click ‘OK’then ‘OK’again.
The settings take effect immediately. Using your web browser, try
accessing the Internet (www.eicon.com for example) or the
Diva 2480’s web interface (192.168.1.1).
•Encryption keys must be either 5 or 13 characters in length.
Configure a 5-character key if the client wireless stations use the
standard WEP encryption (64-bit RC4). Configure a 13-charac-
ter key if the client wireless stations use the enhanced 128-bit
RC4 encryption.
Note: The Eicon Wireless PC Card uses 128-bit RC4 encryption.
•The Diva 2480 can currently only use ASCII characters (and not
hexadecimal) in its encryption keys. Some wireless PC Cards al-
low you to specify encryption keys in hexadecimal.
•In order to function properly, all access points and wireless sta-
tions on the same wireless network must be programmed with
identical key lists.
•If you define only one encryption key, it must be entered in the
first key field. If you configure one key only in fields 2, 3, or 4,
you may not be able to access your wireless network, even if
you have configured your wireless PC Card in the same manner.

•Check that you are within range of the Diva 2480. If you are un-
sure, move your computer closer to the Diva 2480.
•Check that the network name setting for your wireless LAN
adapter is set to the same name as the Diva 2480 (set to ‘eicon’
by default).
•Check that the encryption settings for your computer’s wireless
LAN adapter exactly match those of the Diva 2480.
•If you still cannot access the Diva 2480, use the USB or Ethernet
connection to temporarily access the device.
Internet is not accessible
When troubleshooting why you cannot access the Internet, exam-
ine the state of the ADSL light ( ) on the front panel of
the Diva 2480.
(1) If the ADSL light is glowing continuously (is not blinking),
a connection to the ADSL network has been established.
This means Internet access is possible. Try the following:
•Restart your computer and try accessing the Internet again.
•Verify that your setup information has been entered correctly as
described in ‘Configuring Diva 2480 Internet account settings’
on page 6.
•Verify that the wireless LAN settings on your computer, includ-
ing encryption settings, exactly match those of the Diva 2480. If
possible, use the USB or Ethernet cables.
•Verify that the TCP/IP settings are configured to acquire an IP
address dynamically from a DHCP server. Consult the documen-
tation included with your operating system for information on
verifying TCP/IP settings.
•Verify that your Web browser is configured to use the local LAN,
and is not configured to use a proxy server.
(2) If the ADSL light blinks continuously or stays off, Internet ac-
cess is not possible –the Diva 2480 is unable to establish a con-
nection with the ADSL network. Try the following:
•Check that your cables are connected properly.
•Disconnect the power cable from the Diva 2480, wait a few sec-
onds, then reconnect the cable.
If the ADSL light continues to blink or stays off, contact your ADSL
service provider.
Network name or encryption keys are unknown
If you forget the network name or encryption settings you specified
on the Diva 2480, you must connect directly via the Ethernet or
USB cable. From there you can see the network name. However,
encryption keys cannot be recovered and can only be changed.
Resetting to factory defaults
Resetting the Diva 2480 to factory defaults will change the network
name back to ‘eicon’and will disable encryption. However, all set-
tings, including username and password, are replaced with their
factory settings, so you will have to reconfigure the device for In-
ternet access.
To reset to factory defaults, hold down the Diva 2480’s reset button
(located underneath the device) for more than 15 seconds.

An in-line filter is a small device designed to reduce interference
between ADSL signals and your regular telephone signals. Your
package may or may not include an in-line filter.
To install an in-line filter, plug your phone or other analog device
into the in-line filter, then plug the in-line filter into your telephone
outlet, as shown below. You must use one in-line filter per tele-
phone device in your location.
Note: As telephone cable standards differ from region to region, your in-
line filter and telephone outlet may not be exactly as illustrated.
