Welcome
This document describes how to install and use your Expedience residential subscriber unit
(RSU) to obtain wireless high-speed Internet access. You can connect your RSU to a computer
or to a small office/home office (SOHO) local area network (LAN) through a hub, switch, or
router.
BEFORE
•
•
•
•
YOU BEGIN
Make sure your computer is equipped with an Ethernet network interface card (NIC).
The Ethernet cable that is supplied with your RSU plugs into any standard Ethernet NIC.
The NIC is not provided with the RSU, but you can purchase a NIC at most computer
and electronics stores.
Find an appropriate location for your RSU.
•
For best results, place the RSU in a room near an outside window on the first or second
floor of your home or office.
•
You need to locate the RSU within 6 feet of a wall outlet. The RSU uses a standard power
supply and can sit on a desktop or shelf.
•
Your RSU comes with a category-5 Ethernet cable approximately 10 feet long. If you
choose to place the RSU further than 10 feet from your computer, you need to purchase
a longer, standard Ethernet cable.

PLUGGING
IN THE
RSU
You can connect the RSU directly to a computer, or you can connect it to a small office/home
office (SOHO) network.
•
If you are directly connecting the RSU to your computer, complete the steps in this section.
•
If you are connecting the RSU to a network, refer to the section “Connecting the RSU to a
network” on page 10 in this guide.
To plug in the RSU:
On the side of the RSU, locate the Ethernet jack. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the
Ethernet jack (Figure 2).
Connect the RSU’s AC power supply into a wall outlet and then plug the power cord into the
side of your RSU (Figure 2).

Figure 3: Indicator lights blinking: signal found
Note: If the RSU’s lights blink in sequence (that is, chase each other), rather than blink
simultaneously, the RSU cannot detect enough signal from your service provider to operate
properly. You must adjust the RSU so that at least one light blinks. Step 3 on page 7 describes
how to adjust the RSU.

FINDING
THE STRONGEST SERVICE PROVIDER SIGNAL
To provide the best service, the RSU searches for the strongest signal transmitted by your service
provider. Your RSU is equipped with an internal directional antenna. The back side of the RSU,
where the antenna is located, is the side without a logo printed on it.
Figure 5 illustrates the RSU’s back side.
Figure 5: RSU back
You find the strongest service provider signal by using the lights on top of the RSU (Figure 6).
Use this method regardless of the operating system your computer runs.
Lights on RSU
Figure 6: Location of lights on RSU
The indicator lights indicate the strength of the signal received while the RSU is in its current
orientation. The stronger the signal, the more lights on the RSU are illuminated. The strongest
signal may be indicated by one or two lights lit. Even though not all five lights are lit, this level of
signal is strong enough for full-speed operation.
To use the lights to find the strongest service provider signal:
Before you begin, make sure:
•
The RSU’s power supply is connected to the RSU and to a power source.
•
The Ethernet cable is connected to the RSU. The other end of the Ethernet cable is not
connected to the computer.
Set your RSU on a table or shelf in the location you’ve chosen. The RSU must be in an
upright position.
Point the back of the RSU directly toward the window.
Remove your hands from the RSU. Keep the RSU stationary, in this orientation, for about
five seconds.
The blinking lights indicate the strength of the signal received. The stronger the signal, the
more lights on the RSU blink on and off. Figure 7 illustrates blinking lights.
Lights blink on
Lights blink off
Lights blink on
Figure 7: Indicator lights blinking simultaneously: signal found
Point the back of the RSU to the right of the starting position. Remove your hands from the
RSU, and let it stand still for about five seconds.
Again, note how many lights are blinking while the RSU is in this orientation. The stronger
the signal, the more lights on the RSU blink.
Point the back of the RSU to the left of the starting position. Remove your hands from the
RSU, and let it stand still for about 5 seconds. Note how many lights blink while the RSU is
in this orientation.
Remembering the strongest signal reported, re-orient the back of the RSU in the direction
that the RSU was pointed when the strongest signal was found.
9
Plug the Ethernet cable into your computer. The other end of the cable should already be
plugged into the RSU.
10 Turn on your computer. During power up, the lights on the RSU stop blinking, and are
continuously lit.
CONNECTING
TO THE
INTERNET
After completing steps 1 through 3, the RSU is positioned to provide a reliable connection.
Start your Internet browser, and try to open a few Internet sites.
If you cannot open any sites—for example, if your browser displays a message “This page
cannot be displayed” for all the sites you tried to access—refresh the RSU’s connection, as
described in the section “Renewing the host computer’s IP address” on page 10 in this
guide.
Renewing the host computer’s IP address
When you renew the host computer’s IP address, your service provider is assigning your
computer a new IP address by using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
The host computer’s IP address is automatically renewed when you restart the computer.
Connecting the RSU to a network
Note: Plan to use only one RSU on an Ethernet network. Do not use multiple RSUs on the
same network.
To directly connect the RSU to a computer, use the supplied Ethernet cable (also known as a
straight-through cable).
However, to connect the RSU to a hub or switch, use an Ethernet cable appropriate for your
network device. This might be a straight through or cross-over cable, depending on how your
network device switches signals. When determining how to set up your network, remember that
the RSU device operates as a hub or a bridge.
After connecting the RSU to the network device, power the RSU and scan for a service provider
signal, as described in earlier sections of this guide.
Troubleshooting
This section describes possible issues with RSU installation and how to resolve the issues if you
encounter them.
THE RSU
CAN SUCCESSFULLY RECEIVE A SIGNAL AT HOME, BUT NOT AT
WORK OR AT A FRIEND’S HOUSE
You need to repeat the search for a service provider signal each time you power down your RSU
and move it.
If you have not repeated the signal search, repeat the steps described in the section “Finding the
strongest service provider signal” on page 7 in this guide.
If this does not solve the problem, check with your service provider to make sure they offer
service to the geographic location where you are running the RSU.
THE RSU
CANNOT RECEIVE YOUR SERVICE PROVIDER’S SIGNAL
Most users can receive a signal from their service provider when they operate their RSU near an
outside window, on the first or second floor of their home or office.
However, you may need to run the signal scan in more than one location in your home or office
to get a signal.
If you performed the signal scan in two or three locations in your home or office, but did not
receive a signal, contact the electronics or computer store where you purchased the RSU, or
contact your service provider.
THE RSU’S
LIGHTS BLINK IN SEQUENCE
If your RSU is unable to find a service provider signal, the lights on your RSU don’t blink
simultaneously, but rather they blink in sequence, with a light blinking on as the previous light
blinks off. If this occurs, change the location of the RSU, and repeat the setup procedure.
10
Figure 8 illustrates lights blinking in sequence.
Figure 8: Indicator lights chasing: no signal found
If you have tried to use your RSU in several locations within your home or office—without being
able to receive a signal— contact your service provider for further information about connecting.
11
YOU SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED THE SIGNAL SCAN, BUT YOUR INTERNET
BROWSER CANNOT CONNECT TO A WEB SITE
If you tried to connect to only one Internet address, try to connect to a few more. It is important
to try a few different Internet addresses because the single site you were unable to reach may
indicate that the site is out of service, not that the RSU is malfunctioning.
However, if you tried to reach a few sites without success, you may need to refresh your RSU’s
connection with your service provider.
When your RSU first connects with your service provider’s equipment, your computer is assigned
an IP address. This IP address ensures that the Internet information you request can reach your
computer and your Internet browser.
If your Internet browser cannot open any sites:
Make sure your computer is set up to automatically receive an IP address, as described in the
section, “Setting up the computer to dynamically receive an IP address” on page 3.
Refresh the connection with your service provider by restarting your computer.
THE
LIGHTS ON THE
RSU
BLINK MORE SLOWLY THAN NORMAL
When your RSU searches for a service provider signal, the lights on the RSU blink on and off
rapidly. If you notice the RSU’s lights blinking more slowly than usual, this usually indicates that
your RSU is trying to register with your service provider.
During registration, your service provider may be checking records to indicate that you are a valid
user of the service provider’s system. In most cases, the registration process happens so quickly
you hardly notice a change in the blink rate of the lights on your RSU.
However, if the lights blink slowly for an extended time (more than 30 seconds):
Force your RSU to scan for another signal by unplugging the RSU power cable and then
reconnecting the power cable.
Repeat the procedure described in the section “You find the strongest service provider signal
by using the lights on top of the RSU (Figure 6). Use this method regardless of the operating
system your computer runs.” on page 7.
Perform one of the following:
•
If your RSU successfully registers, as indicated by continuously lit lights, you can use your
connection.
•
If the lights on your RSU continue to slowly blink on and off, contact your service provider.
YOU
RECEIVE A DIALOG BOX INDICATING THAT YOU CANNOT CONNECT
TO YOUR SERVICE PROVIDER
When you try to connect with your service provider, you may receive a message on your computer
indicating that you cannot connect at this time.
You may receive this message for any number of reasons, such as the service provider’s
equipment may be malfunctioning, your RSU is malfunctioning, or your service provider is still
processing your payment or identification records.
If you receive such a message:
Make a note of the message’s contents and any error number that appears.
Contact your service provider with this information. They should be able to resolve the
problem for you.
