|
Answer» I just got DSL from Ohio.net, Im using a Westell 6100. I'm 90% positive i hooked it up right, but whn i turn on the modem the Ethernet adn Power button are on (sometimes Ethernet blinks) but the DSL light is constintly flashing. I put in the 192.168.1.1 number in the address bar and i try to put in the user name and pass i got in an e-mail. They didnt work so I looked into it and I tried Putting "admin" as a user and "PASSWORD" as the pass. I got on and the DSL light still blinks and It says "connect a DSL Line". It is connected to the phone jack and Im not using a filter. Did I hook it up wrong or did I get a broken cable/cord or modem? Or am i doig somehing wrong. BTW im using a Windows 98 SEWelcome aboard... I just got DSL from Ohio.net, Im using a Westell 6100.

You mean that you could access your dsl modem's config menu using your browser? Quote and the DSL light still blinks and It says "connect a DSL Line". "It says.." ? What is "It"? Quote It is connected to the phone jack and Im not using a filter. Did I hook it up wrong or did I get a broken cable/cord or modem? Or am i doig somehing wrong. BTW im using a Windows 98 SE What exactly is the problem? You can't visit web pages on the web with your browser? Your system is much like what I use. I too use Win98SE with a Westell 6100 modem/router. Because of this, I'd like to be able to help you.... I'm just not sure of what you are trying to SAY. Quote It is connected to the phone jack and Im not using a filter. If you are referring to the filter that sits between the phone line and the modem, it is a necessity. It is not just a filter, it is a splitter that seperates the analog voice portion from the digital DSL portion. There should also be a filter connected to all other analog devices on the line (ext phones, fax, etc.) Quote from: 2k_dummy on November 12, 2007, 01:44:44 PM Whoa there, 2K_dummy. Those filters are for analog devices on the line, not for the DSL modem. There should be no filter on the line connected to the modem. Quote There should be no filter on the line connected to the modem. Don't mean to start an ARGUMENT, but, yes there should be. If you look closely you will SEE that there are two different size jacks, one for a phone and one for ethernet. Many people get confused with these things and often place them incorrectly.Two different size jacks on the modem? Yep, I know, and no filter goes on the phone line coming into the modem. If you do that, you've got a different type of DSL than what I have. Edit: take a look at the diagram on PAGE 1 of this reference: http://www.2wire.com/pages/pdfs/DSL_Inline_Filter_Installation.pdfTwo different size jacks on the filter. My DSL apparently is different from yours. Quote from: 2k_dummy on November 12, 2007, 03:33:36 PM Two different size jacks on the filter. Like the original poster, I have a Westell model 6100 DSL modem/router. On the phone line there is no filter. Connects straight from the modem to a surge protector, then out the phone line. Filters supplied by the phone compary are inline between the wall and phone, at each phone on this line. Quote My DSL apparently is different from yours. What DSL modem brand/model number do you have? If you have an alarm system installed in your home, then you most likely have a filter installed. |
