5) The destination device is not reachable if the following
message appears.
Reply from 168.95.192.1: Destination host
unreachable
or Request timed out.
To insure you are communicating with the ISP, Issue a PING
command to the IP address of your ISP’s Gateway or DNS
server.
For example, if the DNS server address is 203.66.81.254, at
C:\> prompt, enter Ping 203.66.81.254. If successful, you can
reach your ISP server.
If unsuccessful (Request timeout), you may have trouble
connecting to your ISP, please verify that the product is
properly configured to connect to your ISP. Also verify that
your Cable/DSL modem and the line are functioning.
To insure you have access to the Internet, PING an IP address
or domain name on Internet.
For example, at the command prompt enter
C:\> PING 168.95.192.1 –w 5000 or
C:\> PING www.yahoo.com –w 5000
If successful, you are connected to the Internet.
If you can ping the ISP’s gateway, but cannot ping a specific site
(e.g. www.yahoo.com) on the Internet, chances are, your ISP
has an internal problem (DNS server not available).

f. On the top (see Figure 33), the “Host Name” and “DNS
server” are what the computer is called when it is looking for a
named resource. The default gateway is the server through which
the client connects to the Internet. The DHCP Server identifies
the network server that assigns IP addresses to computers on the
network.
If the product is working properly, the following should be
apparent from this screen:
1) The Client should have an IP address within the prescribed
range (default 192.168.40. #; where # is from 6 ~ 253).
2) The “DHCP” and “Default Gateway” should list the
product’s local port address (the device’s IP address; default
192.168.40.254).
3) The DNS server IP addresses should match the DNS server
IP addresses set in the device.
g. For Win NT and Win2000, go to
“Start”Æ”Programs”Æ”Accessories”Æ”Command Prompt” to
open the Command Prompt. Type in IPCONFIG /ALL and hit
“Enter” to see the adapter’s information. Type in IPCONFIG
/RELEASE to release all adapters’ IP address and IPCONFIG
/RENEW to renew IP addresses. For a list of the IPCONFIG
commands, type in IPCONFIG /?.
h. The PING.EXE command is used to verify that a computer is
active and available. Users can ping a specific destination domain
name or just the IP address. For example, to find the server
168.95.192.1, type the following command at the MS-DOS
prompt and then press “Enter”:
C:\>ping 168.95.192.1
PING can be executed in Windows as shown below:
1) Go to the Start menu.
2) Click Run.
3) Type ping 168.95.192.1 and click OK.
4) The server (IP address) is online if the following message
appears.
Reply from 168.95.192.1: bytes=32 time=3ms
TTL=100

I. Introduction
The On-Q Home 4 Port Router/Switch is an integrated Internet IP sharing
device with a built-in 4-port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet switch. It is the perfect
solution to connect a small group of PCs to a high-speed broadband Internet
connection (see Figure 1). Up to 253 users can have high-speed Internet access
simultaneously via one single IP address (Internet account) of the Cable/xDSL
modem.
With its built in NAT technology, this product also serves as an Internet firewall,
protecting your network from being accessed by outside users. All incoming data
packets are monitored and filtered. The Router can also be configured with
Parental Control, to filter internal users’ access to the Internet.
The built-in 4-port Fast Ethernet Switch lets users plug the network cable into
the device without buying additional Hub/Switch.

98SE or ME, run the "winipcfg" utility, select the correct Network
click “release all” to release all current configuration, then click “renew
all” to renew the IP information again,). If the DHCP function is
disabled and static IP addresses are assigned to each workstation,
please double check each workstation’s IP address for any duplicate
IP addresses.
8. What does “Can not access the Internet” mean?
a. Check the physical connectivity of the local network and
broadband device.
Make sure you are using the correct cables and the cables are
connected to the network devices properly. Examine the LED of
LAN port and the LED of the broadband signal input on the
Cable Modem/xDSL Modem. If the LAN LED is off, make sure
you are using the correct cables and the cables are connected to the
devices properly. If the LED of the broadband signal is off, please
contact your ISP.
b. Check the status of this product.
After checking the cabling and LEDs, you also have to check if you
have entered the correct user name and password that your ISP
provided. While checking, please note that the information is case
sensitive. To check the Internet connection status, open the
browser to start the Web configuration, select Network Status
ÆWAN IP Status. Check if Link Status displays “Connect
successfully”. If not, you may have to contact your ISP to see if
their Internet service is available.
c. Check the logical connectivity from your computer to the
Internet (TCP/IP Network Diagnosis).
The WINIPCFG program (for Win95, 98, and ME) or
IPCONFIG program (for Windows 2000, NT, XP) is used to
gather information about the TCP/IP connections that are active
on your system. It cannot be used to dynamically adjust TCP/IP
connections, but can be used to get the current IP address
assignments.
d. For Win 95/98/ME, from Windows, go to Start, click Run, enter
WINIPCFG, and click OK. (see Figure 31).

your server, through the magic of DNS service, will be sent to the
right place. Please visit HTTP://WWW.DYNDNS.ORG for more
information.
4. What is Wildcard ?
A wildcard alias is a method which is used to give your hostname
multiple identities. If you were to register yourhost.com, everything
(*).yourhost.com would be aliased to yourhost.com. This includes
host names such as www.yourhost.com or ftp.yourhost.com.
Once Wildcard features are enabled, your host can be reached by
*.yourhost.dyndns.org. First , you need to register a dyanmic DNS
account with www.dyndns.org. To use this service, you must register
with the Dynamic DNS client. The Dynamic DNS Client service
provider will give you a password or key. Refer to What’s Dynamic
DNS ? question above for more information.
5. What is PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet )?
PPPoE is also known as a dial-up DSL service. It is designed to
integrate broadband services into the current widely deployed, easy-
to-use, and low-cost dial-up-access networking infrastructure. Thus, a
customer can get greater access speed without changing the familiar
dial operation concept.
6. How can I know if I am using PPPoE?
PPPoE client software is provided by the ISP and should be installed
onto your computer first. You run the program to connect
to/disconnect from the Internet. User Account information (User
Name and Password) is also required each time you connect to the
Internet access.
Note: After you have entered the PPPoE information during the
device setup, and started up the device, the device will provide your
ISP with the PPPoE information and login automatically.
7. What does the message “IP address conflict” mean?
When you see the message box prompt for IP address conflict on
any of the workstations in the network, this means two or more
workstations have the same IP address. If you have setup the
device as a DHCP server, run IPCONFIG /release and then run
IPCONFIG /renew on the problem workstation (for Windows

III. Installation
The On-Q Home 4 Port Router/Switch is best installed during new
construction in two steps; at “rough-in” after the Electricians are done, but
prior to drywall being installed, and at “trim-out” after the drywall is installed
and painted. These steps are detailed below:
A. “Rough-in” steps:
1. A single dedicated CAT5e should be run in the walls from the
structured wiring enclosure location in the home where the On-Q
Home 4 Port Router/Switch will be installed to each outlet location
in the rooms where Internet service is required (leave extra cable at
both ends).
2. At the selected outlet locations, a single gang box or mud ring should
be installed, with the extra CAT5e cable in the box, or attached in
such a way that it may be fished out after the drywall is installed.
B. “Trim-out” steps:
1. The CAT5e that was secured at each of the outlets should be pulled
out and terminated with a 110 punchdown tool on an RJ45 insert
and attached to a wallplate, which is then installed in the single gang
box or mud ring.
2. In the structured wiring enclosure the CAT5e from the outlets may
be terminated with a 110 punchdown tool onto an On-Q Home 5
Port Network Interface Module’s RJ45 Inserts or with RJ-45 plugs
for direct connection to the On-Q Home 4 Port Router/Switch.
3. The On-Q Home 4 Port 10/100 Router/Switch is installed in the
structured wiring enclosure by slipping the tabs into the square holes,
and using the push pin in a round hole to secure the router.
4. If the outlet cables were punched down at a Network Interface
Module, CAT5e patch cables are then connected from the On-Q
Home 5 Port Network Interface Module to the input ports on the
OnQ 4-Port 10/100 Router/Switch.

5. An additional CAT5e patch cable is then connected from the network
(WAN) port of the 4 Port 10/100 Router/Switch to the Cable Modem or
DSL Modem housed in the structured wiring enclosure.
6. The 4 Port 10/100 Router/Switch is powered with an AC to DC adapter
which also needs to be plugged in to an AC source.
7. Follow the steps in the next two sections for configuring the router.
NOTE: Use proper tools and standard TIA 568A rules to prep and
terminate the CAT5e cable, such as the On-Q Home CAT5 Cable
Stripper (P/N 363292-01), the On-Q Home EZ RJ45 Crimp Tool
(P/N 364555-01) and the On-Q Home 110 Punchdown Tool (P/N
363293-01).

VIII. Troubleshooting
This section will detail possible solutions to common problems that might
occur in using the On-Q 4-Port Router/ Switch.
A. Contact Information
If you are unable to locate a solution here, please access our website at
www.onqhome.com for the latest information. You can also reach us at 1-
800-321-2343.
B. FAQs
1. When should I modify the MAC address for Internet port settings?
Some ISPs identify the clients that attempt to attach to them by
accessing the client’s MAC address and ISP assigned host name. The
MAC address required for Internet port settings is the Router’s MAC
address which should be the one you already registered with your ISP,
and there is no need for modifying it. However, if the ISP has been
utilizing your PC adapter card’s MAC address prior to obtaining this
Router, you may have to modify the Router’s MAC address for
Internet port settings to reflect the MAC address of the PC adapter
card.
2. What is a DMZ?
The DMZ (demilitarized zone), is a barrier between the Internet and
a company's Intranet. It is a subnet that contains a firewall and proxy
server, which can be in separate servers or in one server. The firewall
connects to an external firewall on the Internet side, which may be at
the ISP's location and is often called a "boundary router." The double
firewall architecture adds an extra measure of security for the
Intranet.
3. What is Dynamic DNS?
The Dynamic Domain Name Service is an IP Registry service that
provides a public central database where information such as email
addresses, hostnames, IP addressess, etc. can be stored and retrieved.
The Dynamic DNS service acts like old-style phone operator where
other users call the operator, and ask to speak to you, and the
operator, who knows your extension, will make the connection (every
time your computer comes online, it will inform the Dynamic DNS
server what the current IP address is). Users who need to connect to

IV. Initial Configuration (see Section VII. Advanced Setup for more
information)
The On-Q Home 4 Port Router/Switch is typically configured in one of two
ways; (1) From a portable PC connected through one of the Local Switch
Ports on the Router/Switch Module in the enclosure, or (2) From a PC in one
of the rooms of the house, connected through an outlet in the room to the
enclosure where it is patched to (or directly connected to) one of the Local
Switch Ports (see Figure 3). In either case, the PC must have an Ethernet
Network Interface Card to communicate with the Router/Switch.
A. Configuring a Network Interface Card to talk to the
Router/Switch
NOTE: The steps below assume that your PC’s network interface card is set
to DHCP, or in other words, to obtain IP addressing automatically. The
steps also assume that the On-Q Home 4 Port Router/Switch is set to its
default settings and that all the cables previously discussed are properly
connected. It is also possible to perform these steps by configuring your
computer (with installed Ethernet Network Interface Card) to talk to the

On-Q Router/Switch on its specific IP subnetwork (192.168.40.xxx). The
On-Q Router/Switch’s default IP address in that subnetwork is
192.168.40.254, so your PC’s Ethernet Card can be temporarily assigned an
IP address, (like 192.168.40.10), on that same subnetwork to talk to and
configure the Router/Switch. Giving the PC a specific IP address is also
called assigning it a Static IP address, as compared to a Dynamic IP address
that is typically assigned by a service provider when your PC’s network
interface card is configured for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP).
NOTE: Before doing any PC IP Address re-configuration, make sure you
first write down all of the current IP settings. XP users can set “last known
useable configuration” under System Accessories before re-configuring.
B. Logging on to the Router/Switch
1. With your PC connected to one of the local ports on the
Router/Switch, open a browser and enter the Router/Switch’s default
IP address (192.168.40.254), and click “Go” (see Figure 4) to get the
login page.
2. To logon, enter “admin” for the user name and password and just
click OK (see Figure 5).

7:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
E. WAN MAC Clone
Select the Advanced Folder on the left side of the screen, and the WAN
MAC Clone file under that Folder. This screen (see Figure 30), allows you
to assign the MAC Address that the ISP will see (some ISPs interrogate
the connection, to find the MAC Address of the device attempting to
connect). They may refuse service if the MAC Address they find does not
match the one originally used when first setting up the service.
Click Restore MAC Address to return to the default setting (router’s
MAC Address).

C. Using the Setup Wizard for Internet (WAN) Port Setup
By answering a series of questions shown on the following screens, the
wizard will help you configure your router for Cable Modem (normally
DHCP controlled IP addressing), DSL Modem (normally PPPoE), or a
Static IP addressed type of ISP service (including PPTP).
1. Cable Modem Setup
By answering NO to the first two questions (see Figure 7), and
clicking on Next, you will be asked if your ISP has given you any
DNS addresses (see Figure 8). Your answer will probably be NO for
this question also. When you click on Next, you will be asked for
your time zone (see Figure 9), so that any router log files will be
accurate as to the times that events occur. When you click on Finish,
your Cable Modem Setup is complete and you should be able to
access the Internet.

D. Parental Control
Parental Control provides several specific settings that allows the router
administrator to control PC access to the Internet.
1. Privilege:
Select the Advanced Folder on the left side of the screen, and the
Privilege file under that Folder. This screen (see Figure 26), allows
you to keep certain PCs on your network from accessing the Internet.
You can set up a filter through an IP address or network port
number. Users who have their IP address or Port number listed on
the “Blocked Private Address” field or “Block Private Ports” field will
no longer be able to access the Internet.
NOTE: This does not guarantee blockage if DHCP mode is selected.
2. MAC Control:
Select the Advanced Folder on the left side of the screen, and the
MAC Control file under that Folder. This screen (see Figure 27),

If you enable DMZ Host IP Address, the screen changes to that shown in
Figure 25. You can then choose the WAN IP that you setup as part of
your Alias IP configuration, and enter the LAN IP address in the blank at
the bottom right corner.

If you had received a host name from the ISP, and so clicked on YES
as the answer to the second question on the first screen (see Figure
10), a pop-up area would have appeared for you to enter the host
name and MTU size (1492 is a good starting point).
If the ISP had provided you with a DNS address, you would have
clicked YES on that screen (see Figure 11), and entered the DNS
address or addresses in the pop-up boxes. As before, clicking on Next
would have taken you to the Time Zone screen to allow you to
complete your Cable Modem configuration.

2. DSL Modem Setup
By answering YES to the first question and NO to the second
question on the first screen (see Figure 12), and clicking Next, you
will be taken to the screen shown in Figure 13, and asked whether the
ISP has provided you with a static IP address or not.
Your answer will probably be NO, but if the ISP did provide a static
IP address for your DSL Service, click on YES and a pop-up area will
appear (see Figure 14) which allows you to select Fixed IP and enter
the static IP address, subnet mask and default gateway address. The
PPTP selection will be discussed in the next section.

assign IP addresses to, with the absolute maximum being 248 (6-253).
Starting IP Address
Enter a numerical value for the DHCP server to start with when issuing
IP address.
Except IP Address
Enter an IP address that should not be automatically assigned (static for
example).
Lease Time
The number of days (24 is default) before an IP device asks if his IP
address is still valid.
Gateway
Select the default or enter the Gateway’s IP address. This will also remove
it from the DHCP pool.
DNS
Enter DNS addresses if assigned by the ISP.
Domain Name
If the router is being used to host an Internet website, enter the domain
name of the site.

When you click on Next after entering your static IP address
information, you will be taken to the Alias IP screen shown in Figure
15. Here you can enter up to 5 alias IP addresses (assuming your ISP
supports this) to better enable support for multi-IP address
applications such as Virtual Server or DMZ Host. After applying up
to five alias addresses, you will be taken to the DNS and Time Zone
screens that were shown before in Figure 8 and Figure 9.
If you had selected NO back on Figure 13 when asked about the ISP
providing you a static IP address, you would have been taken directly
to the PPPoE configuration screen (see Figure 16) to configure
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) settings for DSL
Modem Service.

Enter the User Name, Password and Service Name (if applicable) that
your ISP provided with the DSL service. The Connect on Demand
function will allow you to quickly re-establish a connection that has
timed out. The Max Idle Time is the amount of time you want to
wait before the router drops your connection. It is configurable from
1-60 minutes (0 minutes means the connection is never dropped).
When you click on Next, you will be taken to the DNS and Time
Zone screens (Figure 8 and Figure 9) as covered previously.
D. Using Manual Setup
The Setup folder on the left of the screen contains several items that may
be configured manually. These include the Router Password, WAN
(Internet) port settings, WAN Alias IP settings, DNS settings and Time
Zone settings. Most of these are also configurable using the Setup Wizard.
1. Router Password Setup
Select the Setup Folder on the left side of the screen, and the
Password file under that Folder. This screen (see Figure 17) allows
you to change the Router’s password.

VII. Advanced Setup
A. LAN IP Setup
Select the Advanced Folder on the left side of the screen, and the LAN IP
Setting file under that Folder. This screen (see Figure 22), shows the LAN
IP and Subnet Mask values of the router that are seen by the users on their
internal network. The default value is 192.168.40.254 for the LAN IP
and 255.255.255.0 for Subnet Mask.
NOTE: If you change your IP Address, the PC will no longer be able to
communicate, and will need to be rebooted or an IPCONFIG
release/renew will need to be done to use the new address.
B. DHCP Setup
Select the Advanced Folder on the left side of the screen, and the DHCP
Setting file under that Folder. A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol) Server automatically assigns IP address to each computer on
your network. Unless you already have one, it is highly recommended that
your router be set up as a DHCP server. This screen (see Figure 23),
shows the DHCP Setting screen. Simply fill out the values of each entry
and click the “Apply” button.
Do you want to enable DHCP Server on this router?
Click the “Enable” option to enable the DHCP server. Note that you
can’t have two DHCP servers on the network at the same time. Set the
