5. HARDWARE INSTALLATIONS
The following instructions explain how to install your modem using 10/100 Base-T Ethernet or USB connections.
Before you begin, please read the following notes:
NOTE:
1. If your Ethernet card does not auto-negotiate, set it to half duplex. Refer to the Ethernet card manufacturer’s
instructions for installing and configuring your Ethernet card.
2. If you are using your modem in conjunction with an Ethernet Hub or Switch, refer to the manufacturer’s
instructions for proper installation and configuration.
3. When using a microfilter, confirm that the DSL RJ-11 phone cable is connected to the DSL port of the DSL/HPN
non-filtered jack.
4. It is recommended that you use a surge suppressor to protect equipment attached to the power supply. Use only
the power supply provided with your kit.
5. Depending on the installation method you are using, additional Ethernet cables may be required. Ethernet cables
and DSL filters can be purchased at your local computer hardware retailer.
5.1 Connecting Your Modem to a DSL Network
To connect your modem to a network provisioned with active DSL service, please follow these steps:
1. Connect the DSL phone from the connector marked DSL on the rear panel of the modem to the telephone wall
jack provisioned with DSL service. Please use the DSL phone cable that was provided with your kit.
IMPORTANT: Plug the RJ-11 DSL phone cable from the modem into the DSL port of the microfilter plugged
into the telephone jack at the wall.
2. Plug the small end of the power supply cord into the connector marked 12VDC on the rear panel of the modem.
Plug the other end of the power supply into an AC wall socket.
3. Check to see if the POWER LED is solid green. Solid green indicates that the modem is functioning properly.
4. Check to see if the DSL LED is solid green. If it is solid green, DSL is functioning properly.
5. Log on to your account, and establish an Internet connection, as explained later in section 7, “Accessing Your
Modem.”
6. Check to see if the modem’s INTERNET LED is solid green. Solid green indicates that the Internet link has
been established. (Flashing green indicates the presence of IP traffic.)
Congratulations! You have completed the installation. Now, go to section 5.1.1, “Connecting Ethernet Devices to Your
Modem,” or section 5.1.2, “Connecting USB Devices to Your Modem,” depending on your PC’s configuration.
