GETTING STARTED
A. Hardware Installation
Step 1: Connect the ADSL line
Connect the Line interface of the device to the Modem interface of a
splitter using a telephone cable. Connect a telephone to the Phone
interface of the splitter using a telephone cable. Connect the Line interface
of the splitter to your existing, incoming line.
The splitter has three interfaces:
Line: Connect to a wall phone jack (RJ-11 jack).
Modem: Connect to the ADSL jack of the device.
Phone: Connect to a telephone set.
Step 2: Connect the router to your LAN network
Connect the LAN interface of the router to your PC, Hub or Switch using an
Ethernet cable (MDI/MDIX).
Note:
Use twisted-pair Ethernet cables to connect the router to a hub or
switch.
Step 3: Connect the power adapter to the router
Plug one end of the power adapter into a wall outlet and connect the other
end to the 5V interface of the device.
The following diagram shows how to correctly connect the router, PC,
splitter and the telephone sets.

Step 4: Check the ADSL LED status
Please check the ADSL LED on the front panel. This light indicates the status
of your ADSL broadband through your telephone line. If the light is on, you
can continue setup. However if the light is flashing, there is no broadband
line detected. Please call your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and inform
them about the flashing ADSL light to resolve the issue.
Step 5: Firewall settings
Please turn off all personal firewalls before you continue the setup – firewalls
can block communication between your PC and router.
Note: You must use the power adapter included in the package with the
router, do NOT attempt to use a third-party power adapter.
Step 6: PC LAN IP configuration
Configure your PC’s LAN settings to automatically obtain an IP address from
the router by following the steps below:
1. Click “Start” and then select “Control Panel”.
