The Modem's LEDs, where information about network activity is displayed, are located on the front panel.
Figure 2-2: Front Panel
Power Green. The Power LED lights up when the Modem is powered on.
Ethernet Green. The Ethernet LED serves two purposes. If the LED is continuously lit, the Modem is
successfully connected to a device through the Ethernet port. If the LED is blinking, it is an
indication of any network activity.
DSL Green. The DSL LED lights up whenever there is a successful DSL connection. The LED blinks
while establishing the DSL connection.
Internet Green. The Internet LED lights up green when an Internet connection to the Internet Service
Provider (ISP) session is established. The Internet LED lights up red when the connection to
the ISP fails.

Chapter 3: Setting Up and Connecting the ADSL Modem
Overview
In this chapter, you will connect the Modem to your DSL line and to a computer in your home or business. It is not
necessary to mount your Modem, but may be useful to conserve space. There are 2 slots on the underside of the
Modem that can be used for wall mounting.
Wall-Mount Option
You will need 2 suitable screws (4.4 mm screw diameter) to mount the Modem.
1. Determine where you want to mount the Modem. Ensure that the wall you use is smooth, flat, dry and sturdy
and make sure the location is within reach of the power outlet.
2. Drill two holes into the wall. Make sure the holes are 101.6 mm (4 inches) apart.
3. Insert a screw into each hole, and leave 3 mm (0.12 inch) of its head exposed.
4. Maneuver the Modem so the wall-mount slots line up with the two screws.
5. Place the wall-mount slots over the screws and slide the Modem down until the screws fit snugly into the
wall-mount slots.
Congratulations! The Wall-Mount installation of the Modem is complete. Perform the steps under Connecting the
Modem to complete your Modem installation.
Connecting the Modem
1. Connect one end of the provided phone cable to the DSL (RJ-11 phone) port that is on the back of your
Modem. Connect the other end of the phone cable to the wall jack with DSL service.
NOTE:
and wall jack to prevent interference. Contact your ISP if you have any questions.
Chapter 3: Setting Up and Connecting the ADSL Modem
Overview
A small device called a microfilter (not included) may be necessary between each phone
101.6 mm (4 inches)

Figure 3-2: DSL Connection

ADSL Modem
IMPORTANT: For countries that have phone jacks with RJ-11 connectors, make sure to only place
the microfilters between the phone and the wall jack and not between the Modem and the wall
jack or your DSL will not connect.
For countries that do not have phone jacks with RJ-11 connectors (e.g. France, Sweden,
Switzerland, United Kingdom, etc.), except for ISDN users, the microfilter has to be used between
the modem and the wall jack, because the microfilter will have the RJ-11 connector.
2. Connect one end of the provided Ethernet cable to your PC’s Ethernet port. Connect the other end of the
cable to the Ethernet port on the back of your Modem.
3. Connect the power adapter to your Modem and to the electrical outlet.
NOTE: You should always plug the Modem’s power adapter into a power strip
with surge protection.
4. Turn on your PC.
The connection of the Modem is complete.
