Actiontec 1520/1524 Configuration Instructions

This document contains configuration instructions for use with NeTrack client DSL services.

Before you begin, have the IP address assigned to you by Netrack ready to enter in the Actiontec 1520/1524 configuration.

If you do not already have an Ethernet network interface card in your computer, install one first. USB is not recommended.

1) Follow the instructions that came with your Actiontec 1520/1524.

2) Use the following information as your ISP Worksheet:

	ISP Protocol: PPPoA
	My ISP does not require any User ID and Password
	IP type:      Static IP
	Use the Single IP address or Block assigned to you
	Mask:         255.255.255.0
	Gateway:      (blank - dynamic)
	DNS:          (blank - dynamic)

Once your configuration is completed, the Actiontec 1520/1524 will save the configuration settings you entered and reboot.

3) Open a web browser such as Internet Explorer. Use the File Open menu to open http://192.168.0.1/ . Click on the Status menu option.

Your configuration was successful and you are now connected to the Internet if the status page shows the WAN Connection status as "Connected."

Troubleshooting

My web browser can't open the web page http://192.168.0.1.

Check your computer's network configuration and make sure that it is set to "obtain an IP address automatically." Then reboot your computer and try again.

I can open the web page, but the status shows "disconnected." The "Internet" light on the modem is flashing.

Check that the modem is correctly connected to your DSL telephone line outlet. If the "Internet" light on the modem won't stop flashing and stay on steady, please call Qwest for repair, 888-234-9375.

The WAN status shows "disconnected" but the "Internet" light on the modem is on steady.

Double-check your configuration and call Netrack, 303.938.0188.

Contact Netrack if you have any difficulties or questions in configuring your Actiontec 1520/1524 or establishing your connection to the Internet.

Wireless Configuration

If you want to use the wireless hub feature of your Actiontec 1520/1524, you have to first purchase an Actiontec brand wireless PC card and install it in your Actiontec 1520/1524.

Then you enable the wireless features and configure it for your environment as follows.

1) Open a web browser such as Internet Explorer. Use the File Open menu to open http://192.168.0.1/ .

2) Select the Actiontec menus Setup then Advanced Setup. Then click Begin Advanced Setup. Select Wireless from the left setup option list.

3) Click the button to turn on the wireless features. Then click Next.

4) In the subsequent screens, configure the Actiontec 1520/1524 wireless settings to match your environment. We highly recommend that you enable and configure WEP. Without WEP, all your network activity is publicly accessible and your wireless network can be used to access the Internet by those whom you did not authorize.

5) Click Save and Restart at the bottom of the left setup option list. When the DSL and Internet lights stop flashing and stay on steady green, your modem is ready for use again.

Advanced Configuration

CAUTION: NAT is required to be enabled unless you have been assigned a block of static IP addresses from Netrack. If you have been assigned a block of static IP addresses and you disable NAT, your modem's web-based configuration interface is accessible by anyone. So please configure an admin username and password to protect your modem when you turn off NAT.
