Preliminary Steps
DSL service
The DSL service must be up and running on your telephone line.
If both conventional telephone and DSL service are simultaneously available from the same copper pair, you
will need a central splitter or distributed filters for decoupling DSL and telephone signals.
Computer requirements
±
To connect a computer via Ethernet, make sure the computer is equipped with an Ethernet Network
Interface Card (NIC).
±
For wireless networking, you will need a WiFi-certified wireless client adapter for each computer you
want to connect wirelessly.
Internet connection details
You may need the following connection details from your Internet Service Provider (ISP):
±
Your ISP’s method for connecting to the Internet (for example PPPoE)
±
The VPI/VCI (for example 8/35)
±
Your user name and password to connect to the Internet for PPP connections
±
Your IP settings in case of static configurations
You may have received this information when you subscribed at your Internet Service Provider. You may be
prompted for this information at a given step in the installation procedure.

filters that have been designed to be installed by unqualified personnel. For further assistance,
contact your Internet Service Provider.
