Step 1: Connecting the ADSL Ethernet Modem to

Your Computer/Notebook

Power off your Computer/Notebook or/and any connected devices before connecting to the ADSL Ethernet Modem!

To connect the ADSL Ethernet Modem to your Computer/Notebook, you need to have an

Ethernet Port present on your Computer/Notebook.

(See the following note if you are not sure of how an Ethernet Port looks like).

Locating the Ethernet Port on your Computer/Notebook

The following are some tips to help you locate your Ethernet Port on your Computer/Notebook. Alternatively, you may refer to the documentation that comes with your Computer/Notebook.

Most Computers/Notebooks have labels describing the Ports. For Ethernet Port, you will see either ETHERNET, ETH or RJ45 labelled near the Port.

If your Computer/Notebook does not have such descriptions, try the following.

- Picture A gives the illustration of an Ethernet Port. All Ethernet Ports have 8 conductors on it. Do not mistaken with the LINE Port (Picture B) that has only 6 conductors.

- An Ethernet Port is slightly bigger than a LINE Port.

the telephone cable to the jack

labelled LINE.

Telephone Set

The POTS Splitter is a device that allows you to connect both your Telephone

cable and Telephone Set to the same Telephone Wall Socket. The device at the

same time helps to eliminate background noise on the telephone line, ensuring

the best possible phone performance.

Easy Start

If you have Telephone set(s)/Facsimile machine connected to other Telephone Wall Socket(s), you will need to plug in a Micro-Filter to each of the Telephone Wall Socket before connecting to the Telephone set as illustrated.

Like the POTS Splitter, Micro-Filter helps to eliminate noise on the telephone line when your Ethernet Modem and Telephone set are both sharing the same line. The only difference is that the POTS Splitter has two RJ-11 jacks whereas the Micro-Filter has only one.

(Micro-Filter can be purchased from your dealer).

Step 1.3 Connecting to the Power Outlet

Connect the ADSL Ethernet Modem to the Power Outlet via the Power adapter (that comes

with your Modem package).
