Connecting the Hardware

Refer to this diagram when completing the steps below.

1. Plug one end of the thick yellow network cable into your PC or laptop's network
port, and plug the other end into the socket at the back of the router marked 1.

TIP: If your PC or laptop doesn't have a network port that the yellow cable will fit into, then
you should connect it to the supplied Ethernet Serial Adapter.

2. Connect the ADSL port at the back of your router directly to your telephone wall
socket.

TIP: Don't use a Micro Filter to complete this connection. Micro Filters are meant only for
your telephone line, not your ADSL line.

3. Plug in the included power adapter and switch on the router. Also make sure the
computer to which you connected the router is switched on.

4. Make sure the green 'PWR' and 'SYS' lights at the front of the router are lit
steadily, and that the 'LAN' light is also on.

5. Now, using a thin grey telephone cable, connect your second phone handset to the
Internet-telephony port at the back of the router (it's marked with an icon that
looks like a telephone). This is the phone handset that you'll be using to make
Broadband Talk calls over the Internet.

6. Connect the LINE port at the back of the router to the telephone wall socket using
the second thin grey telephone cable and a Micro Filter (this step is optional if you
don't wish to route your regular Telkom telephone calls via your router as well).
