The Belgacom b-box contains an integrated ADSL modem and connects to the Internet or
to a remote site using its RJ-11 port. It can be connected directly to your PC or to a local
area network using the Fast Ethernet LAN ports.
Access speed to the Internet depends on your service type. Full-rate ADSL2+ provides up
to 26 Mbps downstream and 1500 kbps upstream. G.lite (or splitterless) ADSL provides up
to 1.5 Mbps downstream and 512 kbps upstream. However, you should note that the actual
rate provided by specific service providers might vary dramatically from these upper limits.
The Belgacom b-box comes with two FXS ports to connect with a phone or fax, turning
your regular phone into an IP phone. Through your telephone or FAX, your can dial out
through the gateway to another Telephone or FAX.

Fast Ethernet Connection
Connect a PC to one of the RJ-45 ports on the Belgacom b-box with the provided network
cable. When inserting an RJ-45 plug, be sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to
ensure that it is properly seated.
The LAN ports are dual-speed RJ-45 ports. They support auto-negotiation, so the
optimum communication mode (half or full duplex) and data rate (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps)
are selected automatically.
FXS Connection
Connect a standard analog telephone set or fax machine to either of the FXS ports on
the rear panel. The FXS ports are like your local phone service provider in that they can
generate and provide a ring signal.

Connect the System
The Belgacom b-box can be positioned at any convenient location in your office or home.
No special wiring or cooling requirements are needed. You should, however, comply with
the following guidelines:
•
Keep the Belgacom b-box away from any heating devices.
•
Do not place the Belgacom b-box in a dusty or wet environment.
You should also remember to turn off the power, remove the power cord from the outlet,
and keep your hands dry when you install the Belgacom b-box.
Connect the ADSL Line
Run standard telephone cable from the wall jack providing ADSL service to the RJ-11
(“ADSL”) port on your Belgacom b-box. When inserting an ADSL RJ-11 plug, be sure the
