and double check your typing. Be sure that
you’ve entered the “slash” character, which goes from lower left to upper right,
not
the
“backslash”
character. Press the Enter
key. Your web browser
should appear. If you see a
login screen like the one
above you’re OK.
Now you can proceed according to the following instructions and appropriate
“tests;” be sure to read each point below in order to see if it applies to you, returning
to the subsequent points should you “fix” an earlier point.
Four Troubleshooting “Tests”
1.
You saw no login screen at all but instead received an error
: proceed to
“Troubleshooting” section T3, for the topic “My PC does not see the
MTA.”
2.
You saw the login screen as in the illustration above, but you know that
your broadband connection uses PPPOE
and/or always expects the PC to
log in with the user name and password when establishing a connection:
proceed to the “Troubleshooting” section, and locate topic T5, “My ISP
expects a login and I haven’t set up the UserName/Password in the MTA.”
Note: see page 4 of this manual for a fuller explanation.
3.
You saw the login screen as in the illustration above, but you know that
your broadband connection checks the MAC
(network hardware address)
when establishing a connection: proceed to the “Troubleshooting” section,
and locate topic T7, “My ISP checks MAC addresses and I haven’t set up
the Custom MAC Address in the MTA.” Note: see page 4 of this manual
for a fuller explanation.
4.
You may or may not (probably not) have seen the login screen as in the
illustration above, but you know that your broadband connection provides
for a static IP address
: proceed to the “Troubleshooting” section, and
locate topic T8, “I have a static IP address but haven’t set up the Static IP
Address in the MTA.”
If you have satisfied all the above “tests” you may double check by repeating the
three most recent steps described above to verify that you see the login window.
Then and only then can you close your browser window. It’s time to put the MTA
on line.
