Hardware Installation

In this chapter you will learn about the various connections you will need to

make in order to use the Modem.

When selecting the location for the Modem be sure to allow room to access the

connections on the rear panel. You will want to place the Modem so that you will

be able to see the LED indicators on the front panel. Allow some space above the

Modem for ventilation to avoid problems with overheating.

Connect the Power

Insert the AC Power Adapter cord into the power receptacle located on the rear

panel of the Modem and plug the adapter into a nearby power source. You should

see the Power LED indicator light up and remain lit. The Test LED should light

for a few seconds and turn off.

Connect ADSL Line

You can use the twisted-pair telephone ADSL cable included with the Modem to

connect to your telephone line. Simply plug one end of the cable into the ADSL

port (RJ-11 receptacle) on the rear panel of the Modem and insert the other end

into the wall jack.
