2 Hardware Installation

2.1 Connecting the ADSL Router

Step 1

Connect the ‘Line’ port of the device and the ‘Modem’

port of the ADSL splitter with a telephone cable.

Connect the phone to the ‘Phone’ port of the splitter

through a telephone cable. Connect the incoming line

to the ‘Line’ port of the splitter.

The splitter has three ports:

°

Line: Connect to the phone port on the wall

(RJ-11 jack).

°

Modem: Connect to the DSL port of the device.

°

Phone: Connectto a telephone set.

Step 2

Connect the LAN port of the device to the network

card

of

the

PC

through

an

Ethernet

cable

(MDI/MDIX).

Note:

Use twisted-pair cables to connect with the Hub or switch.

Step 3

Plug one end of the power adapter to the wall outlet

and connect the other end to the Power port of the

device.

Connection type 1: Figure 3 shows the application diagram

for the connection of the device, PC, splitter and telephone

sets, when no telephone set is placed before the splitter.

Figure 3 Connection diagram (without telephone sets before the splitter)

Connection type 2: Figure 4 displays the application diagram

for the connection of the device, PC, splitter and telephone

sets when a telephone set is placed before the splitter.

As illustrated in the following figure, the splitter is installed

close to the device.

Figure 4 Connection diagram (with a telephone set before the splitter)

Connection 1 is recommended.

Note:

When connection type 2 is used, the filter must be installed close to

the telephone cable. See Figure 4. Do not use the splitter to replace

the filter.

Installing a telephone before the splitter may cause

connection problem between the device and the central office,

or failure of Internet access, or slow connection speed. If you

really need to add a telephone set before the splitter, you

must add a microfilter before a telephone set. Do not connect

several telephones before the splitter or connect several

telephones with one microfilter.

2.2 USB Installation

To connect the DSL gateway to the USB port of the PC, follow

the instructions listed as follow:

Step 1

Connect one end of the USB cable to the USB port of

the DSL gateway. As the cable has two different

connectors and each connector is keyed, you may

need to try both connectors and different orientations.

Step 2

Connect the other end of the USB cable into the USB

port of the PC.

Step 3

For USB installation on Windows XP, once the PC

powers up, a message appears in the system tray

indicating that new hardware is found.

Step 4

The

Found New Hardware Wizard

dialog box

appears. Select

Install the software automatically

(Recommended)

and insert the Manual and Driver

CD-ROM. Click

for the best USB driver.
