Connecting your Router
Connecting your ADSL Line
Connection for the Router to the ADSL line varies by country and
region. Typically it involves a microfilter or a microfilter with built-in
splitter to allow simultaneous use of ADSL service and telephone
service on the same telephone line. Please read the following steps
carefully and select appropriate method.
1.
If your telephone service and ADSL service are on the same
telephone line, ADSL microfilters are needed for each telephone
and device, such as answering machine, fax machine, and caller
ID display. Additional splitters may be used to separate telephone
lines for telephone and the Router.
Note:
Do not connect the ADSL microfilter between the wall jack
and the Router—this will prevent ADSL service from reaching
the modem.
2.
If your telephone service and ADSL service are on the same
telephone line and you are using an ADSL microfilter with built-in
splitter, connect the splitter to the telephone wall jack providing
ADSL service. Then, connect the telephone cord from the ADSL
microfilter RJ11 port generally labeled “DSL” to the gray RJ11
port labeled “DSL line” on the back of your Router. Connect
telephony device to the other port on the ADSL splitter commonly
labeled “Phone”. An additional ADSL microfilter is needed for
another telephone and device on the same line.

Note:
One RJ11 telephone cord is supplied. When inserting an
RJ11 plug, be sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to
ensure that it is properly seated.
3.
If you have a dedicated ADSL service telephone line with an RJ11
wall jack, simply connect a telephone cord from the wall jack to
the
gray
RJ11 port labeled “DSL line” on the back of
your Router.
4.
If you have an RJ45 wall jack for your ADSL service, connect an
RJ45-to-RJ11 converter to the wall jack. Then connect one end of
a telephone cord to the converter and the other end to the
gray
RJ11 port labeled “DSL line” on the back of your Router.
Note:
ADSL microfilter may or may not be provided depending on
your country.

Powering Up your Router
1.
Connect the supplied power adapter to the Router power-input
plug labeled “Power”.
Note:
For safety and performance reasons, only use the supplied
power adapter to prevent damage to the Router.
2.
After connecting the power adapter and the power source is turned on,
the Router’s power icon
on the front panel should be on. It might
take a few minutes for the Router to fully start up.
3.
Turn on your computers. After your computers boot up, the LAN
status LED
on the front of the Router will be on for each port
to which a wired computer is connected. These lights show
you the connection and activity status. Now you are ready to
configure the Router for ADSL connection.

In order for your computer to properly communicate with your Router, you
will need to change your computer’s “TCP/IP Ethernet” settings to “Obtain
an IP address automatically/Using DHCP”. This is normally the default
setting in most home computers.
You can set up the computer that is connected to the ADSL modem FIRST
using these steps. You can also use these steps to add computers to your
Router after the Router has been set up to connect to the Internet.
