Connecting the Gateway to the Internet
1.
Connect the DG824M.
a.
Turn off your computer.
b.
Connect the cable (
A)
from the DG824M ADSL port to your ADSL outlet, being sure to
properly connect the wires as shown in the illustration below.
Figure 2-1: Connect the ADSL Cable
Note:
The illustration above depicts a microfilter splitter specifically designed to enable a
phone and ADSL modem to connect to the same phone line wall jack outlet. Do not connect
the DG824B to your ADSL line with a microfilter unless the microfilter specifically designed
for that purpose. Doing so will prevent the modem from establishing a connection to the
Internet. If you have any doubts about this, use only a phone cord to connect the DG824B to
the ADSL wall jack outlet.

c.
Connect the Ethernet cable (B) from your DG824M’s LAN port to a computer.
Figure 2-2: Connect the gateway to a computer
Note:
The DG824M gateway incorporates Auto Uplink
TM
technology. Each Ethernet LAN
port will automatically sense whether the cable plugged into the port should have a
'normal' connection (e.g. connecting to a PC) or an 'uplink' connection (e.g. connecting to
a switch or hub). That port will then configure itself to the correct configuration. This
feature also eliminates the need to worry about crossover cables, as Auto Uplink will
accommodate either type of cable to make the right connection.
d.
Connect the power adapter to the gateway and plug it in to a power outlet. Verify the
following:
The power light is lit after turning on the gateway.
The ADSL link light is solid green, indicating a link has been established to the
cable network.
e.
Now, turn on your computer. If software usually logs you in to your Internet connection,
do not run that software or cancel it if it starts automatically.
The local lights are lit for any connected computers.
