Reset the Ericsson W3x to factory default configuration (see section 6.2). 3. Contact your service provider. 7.
Troubleshooting configuration changes are replaced. If you have previously changed the password, the Enter password page will be displayed. You have to login to the web pages with the default password (user). 7.3 LAN Connections Table 25 – LAN Connections Indication/Symptom What to do Cannot access the local network from a PC that is connected to one of the Ethernet ports on the Ericsson W3x.
Troubleshooting Indication/Symptom What to do factory default configuration (see section 7.2). This will reset the login details to default values (“User name” user and “Password” user). 7.4 Internet Access Table 26 – Internet access Indication/Symptom What to do Cannot access the Internet from any of my local devices. Check the status of the Alarm indicator. If it is blinking, see the information in the Alarms section on the Overview page.
Troubleshooting Indication/Symptom What to do applications. Internet application is enabled. If the application requires UPnP IDG, check that UPnP IDG is enabled on the NAT page. A port forwarding rule might be required for a specific application. See section 3.7.3 – Port Forwarding. 7.4.1 Change TCP Settings To achieve maximum performance on the Internet connection some parameters in the TCP/IP stack of the client PC can be changed.
Troubleshooting Indication/Symptom What to do Verify that the Wireless LAN interface installed on the wireless client is active. Keep the Ericsson W3x away from electrical devices that disturb the radio signals, for example microwave ovens. Try to move the Ericsson W3x to another location, but make sure that the mobile network signal is still acceptable before finalizing the installation.
Troubleshooting Indication/Symptom What to do wireless client is included on this list. If the wireless client uses a static IP address, make sure that this IP address is on the same subnet as the Ericsson W3x. The IP address and subnet mask for the Ericsson W3x is displayed on the LAN page. 7.
Troubleshooting 7.7 • Make sure that the PC belongs to the same workgroup as the Ericsson W3x. For instructions, see section 6.3.1 – Check Workgroup Settings. The Ericsson W3x workgroup is displayed on the Sharing web page. • If you have problems accessing a printer, make sure that the printer drivers are correctly installed on the PC.
Troubleshooting Indication/Symptom What to do information tone. For information about tones, see section 4.2 – Information Tones. Cannot send or receive on a fax connected to the Ericsson W35 Make sure that the fax is connected to the Phone/Fax connector on the Ericsson W35. Check that the Internet LED is on and on the LAN page that the Ericsson W35 has received an IP address. The data service is a prerequisite for the fax service, see section 7.4 – Internet Access for troubleshooting the data service.

Glossary calling line identity,for example the phone number, of the caller. DHCP – Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol A protocol used by networked computers (clients) to obtain IP addresses and other parameters such as the default gateway, subnet mask, and IP addresses of DNS servers from a DHCP server. DHCP server A configuration server, capable of configuring network devices with a variety of information, such as IP addresses, required for their operation.
Glossary Electronics Engineers IEEE (pronounced I-tripleE) is an organization composed of engineers, scientists, and students. The IEEE is best known for developing standards for the computer and electronics industry. In particular, the IEEE 802 standards for local area networks are widely followed. IMEI – International Mobile Equipment Identity The IMEI number is a 15 digit numnber which includes information on the origin, model, and serial number unique to every mobile device.
Glossary is used by PPP and almost all network operating system remote servers support PAP. PAP transmits unencrypted ASCII passwords over the network and is therefore considered insecure, it is used as a last resort when the remote access server does not support a stronger authentication protocol, such as CHAP. Passphrase A secret password used for WPA and WPA2 wireless data encryption. The encryption is based on a WPA master key that is derived from the passphrase and the network name (SSID).
Glossary features added, including support for symbolic links, hard links, and larger file sizes. TFTP – Trivial File Transfer Protocol A TCP/IP protocol commonly used for software downloads. SSID – Service Set Identifier A unique network name, or identifier, that differentiates one wireless LAN from another. All access points and clients attempting to connect to a specific WLAN must use the same SSID. TKIP – Temporal Key Integrity Protocol A protocol used for WPA data encryption.
Glossary WAN – Wide Area Network A network of computers that covers a large geographical distance. With respect to the Ericsson W25, WAN refers to the Internet. WUI – Web User Interface In Ericsson W25 the WUI refers to a built-in web based configuration tool with wizard support. WCDMA – Wideband CDMA The radio access technology for wideband wireless access supporting 3G services. It allows very high speed multimedia services like wireless Internet access and videoconferencing.
