2. Remove the protective cover from the PCMCIA expansion slot on the side of the Gateway.
3. Insert the expansion card in the slot with the colored label facing up.
4. Ensure that the card is inserted fully and seated securely.
5. After powering on the Gateway, verify that the 802.11 Link LED is lit.
Installing Line Filters
Note This section may not apply to you. Consult your provider if you are unsure.
Because DSL shares your telephone line, you may need to separate the two signals so they do not
interfere with each other. A line filter (may be included with some models) prevents DSL traffic from
disrupting the voice signal on the telephone line, and vice versa. Follow the procedures below to install
line filters on any device (telephones, fax machines, caller ID boxes) that shares the same telephone line
with your DSL.
You will need one of these type filters to connect between the telephone and the wall plate:
• In-line filter: For use with standard desktop telephones.
• Wall-mount filter: For use with wall-mounted telephones.
You may also need a two-to-one adapter if you want to connect more than one device to the telephone
wall plate.
Important! DSL performance may be significantly degraded if the line filters are not installed in the
correct direction, as illustrated below.
In-Line Filter
For each device sharing the same telephone line:
1. Unplug the device’s cord from the telephone
jack.
2. Plug the filter into the telephone jack.
3. Plug the telephone cord (or other device cord)
into the filter.
