4.4 Hardware Installation
NOTE: If you are using the Router in conjunction with an Ethernet Hub or Switch, refer to the manufacturer ’s
instructions for proper installation and configuration. When using a Microfilter, be certain that the DSL phone cable
is connected to the “DSL/HPN” non-filtered jack. Please wait until you have received notification from your ISP that
your DSL line has been activated before installing the Router. Askey recommends the use of a surge suppressor
to protect equipment attached to the power supply. An additional Ethernet cable may be required depending on
the installation method you are using. Ethernet cables can be purchased at your local computer hardware retailer.
IMPORTANT: Before you connect via 10/100 Base-T, you must have an available Ethernet card installed in your
computer. If your Ethernet card does not auto-negotiate, you must set it to half duplex. Refer to the Ethernet card
manufacturer’s instructions for installing and configuring your Ethernet card.
1. Connect the green ADSL phone cable from the connector marked ADSL on the rear panel of the Router to the
DSL-equipped telephone line jack on the wall. IMPORTANT: Do not use a Microfilter on this connection. You
must use the phone cord that was provided with the kit.
Connect the black Line cable from the connector marked LINE on the rear panel of the Router to the DSL-
equipped telephone line jack on the wall. IMPORTANT: You MUST use a Microfilter on this connection.
Connect the yellow Ethernet cable (provided with your kit) from any one of the Ethernet jacks marked
ETHERNET on the rear panel of the Router to the Ethernet port on your computer. Repeat this step to connect
up to three additional PCs to your Router.
NOTE: When using the yellow VERSAPORT
™2 jack in Private LAN mode, you may connect either the
yellow Ethernet cable (provided with your kit) or any other Ethernet cable to the VERSAPORT ™2 jack as the
VERSAPORT™2 jack will function as a fifth Ethernet port. You may also connect to any of the four yellow
Ethernet jacks on the rear panel of the Router as they serve as an Ethernet switch.

Connect the power supply cord to the power connector marked DC 12V on the rear panel of the Router. Plug the
other end of the power supply into a wall socket, and then turn on the power switch (if it is not already turned on).
Check to see if the DSL LED is solid green. If the DSL LED is solid green, the Router is functioning properly.
Check to see if the Ethernet LED is solid green. Solid/Flashing green indicates that the Ethernet connection is
functioning properly.
