Make sure nothing else is plugged into the cm1150v's ethernet ports.
Unless you're ISP allows mulitiple public ip addresses (most don't) or have a router that has wan aggregation, only 1 ethernet port on the CM1150v can be used. You can use the phone lines but not the other ethernet ports.
so try it this way.
Factory reset the RAX40. When its fully reset, power both it and the cm1150v down.
power up the cm1150v. give it a few minutes to fully boot.
connect port 1 of cm1150v to wan port on RAX.
power up the rax.
Give it a few minutes.
Then try the setup on the RAX.
