THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING
ORCON GENIUS.

IMPORTANT:

You will know that your service is active when:

1. You receive a text and/or an email telling you that your Orcon Genius
connection is complete. This will be sent to the email and mobile
entered during sign-up.

2. Your regular phone loses dial tone.

This is when you can install your Orcon Genius (not before).

3

Choose a good location for Orcon Genius to be set up.

1. Near to the telephone wall socket that provides the broadband service.

2. Near to a power point.

3. Near to your computer(s).

Make sure there is adequate space around the modem for ventilation and
do not block the ventilation holes.

Keep the modem away from heat sources and out of direct sunlight.

The modem installation will take approximately 10 - 20 minutes as Orcon Genius
communicates with our systems.

INSTALLING THE MODEM

1. Connect the power adaptor to the black power port on the device. Plug the power
adaptor into the wall socket. Turn the modem power button on and wait for the
green light to illuminate.

2. Plug one of the white phone cables (which can be found in your Orcon Genius box)
into the socket labelled ADSL on the right hand side of the modem. Plug the other
end straight into the phone socket on your wall.

Note: you don’t need a line filter like you may have been using with a previous
broadband setup.

3. Your setup should look like this:

Connecting your computer to Orcon Genius

Locate the yellow Ethernet cable and connect one end of the Ethernet cable to
one of the four yellow Ethernet ports on the modem. Connect the other end to the
Ethernet port on the back of your PC or Laptop (please refer to PC user guide or PC
manufacturer if you are unsure where this is located).

GETTING ORCON GENIUS CONNECTED

Hooray!

You have successfully completed the physical set up process for Orcon Genius.
This is the first time you connect so you will need to wait 3-5 minutes to allow
Orcon Genius to download its configuration settings for broadband and voice.

We suggest you make yourself a cup of tea, and then have a crack at this
Sudoku puzzle.

By the time you’ve finished, the lights on the front of Orcon Genius should be
illuminated and solid blue as per below.

You should now be able access the internet… what will you do first? Email your mum?
Watch cat videos on YouTube? Or perhaps a spot of Facebook stalking?
