GENERAL INFORMATION
Thank you for purchasing this GDI Communications LLC. product. The NT200R-PLUS
provides reliable, high-speed, Internet access to your existing phone line. There is
no special wiring or special networking knowledge required. This modem is
capable of data rates hundreds of times faster than a traditional analog modem.
Unlike the analog modem, the NT200R-PLUS allows you to use your phone line for
simultaneous voice/fax and high-speed communications, eliminating the need for
dedicated phone lines for voice and data communications. The NT200R-PLUS
provides reliable high-speed data communication in the harshest operating
environments. It can operate in uncontrolled environments such as remote
terminals or curb side distribution vaults. Installation is easy ... no tools ... no
headaches. Simply connect the hardware and apply power.
Designed to operate in the harshest environments the NT200R-PLUS has an
operating temperature range of -37°C to +74°C, in non-condensing humidity of up
to 95%, and can be set up at altitudes of up to 10,000 feet.
This manual has been designed to enable you to install your NT200R-PLUS modem
by following the step-by-step installation procedure.
FEATURES
Easy to install standalone ADSL modems
Environmentally hardened for operation in harsh environments
Auto-sensing full or half-duplex Ethernet
Auto-sensing 10/100 operation
Transparent operation
LED indicators for Power, Ethernet Link & Activity, ADSL Sync

INSTALLATION
Because the NT200R-PLUS requires minimum configuration, it can be installed and
made operational quickly. Installation takes place as follows:
1. Connecting the ADSL line (refer to section titled, “Connecting the ADSL Line
Interface” on page 6) See Figure 4 for the rear panel connector arrangements.
2. Connecting the Ethernet interface (refer to section titled, “Connecting the LAN
(10/100Base-T) Ethernet Interface” on page 7).
3. Connecting the power plug (refer to section titled, “Connecting Power” on
page 8).

CONNECTING TO THE ADSL LINE INTERFACE
The NT200R-PLUS supports High-speed communications over 24 AWG (0.5 mm)
twisted-pair wire. Actual distance and link perform ance ma y va ry depending on the
environment and type or gauge of wire used.
Follow the steps below to connect the NT200R-PLUS ADSL Interface to the DSL
ready telephone line. Connect a telephone phone cable from the DSL-equipped
telephone line jack to the jack marked DSL on the rear panel of the modem.
To function properly, the NT200R-PLUS must be connected to the telephone line
using twisted-pair wire between 19 (0.9mm) and 26 AWG (0.4mm). The interface is
bipolar making the TIP and RING connection non-critical.
The diagram below shows the pin configuration of the ADSL jack on the NT200R
Plus.

CONNECTING THE LAN (ETHERNET) I NTE RFACE
The RJ-45 ports are labeled “LAN”, 1 through 4. These ports are designed to
connect directly to a 10/100BaseT/TX network. Figure 3 shows the signal/pin
relationships on this interface. You may connect these ports to another Ethernet
device via a Cat 3 or Cat 5 cable that is up to 328 ft long.

NOTE: Before you connect via 10/100 Base-T, you must have an available
Ethernet card installed in your computer. If your Ethernet card does not autonegotiate, you must set it to half duplex. Refer to the Ethernet card
manufacturer’s instructions for installing and configuring your Ethernet card.
Connecting the LAN (10/100BaseT/TX) Ethernet Port to a Hub
The NT200R-PLUS LAN interface is configured as DCE (Data Communications
Equipment), just like a 10/100BaseT/TX network hub or a switch. Therefore, it
"expects" to connect to a DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) device such as a PC or
a router. When connecting to a DTE it typically uses a straight through cable as
shown in figure 4 below.
