Step 1: Verify Your System Requirements and Documents

This Installation Guide is for Windows® 95/98/Me/2000 users only.

An available PCMCIA slot (for laptop installations)

A built-in Ethernet port (consult your system’s documentation for details)

*Please note: many PC systems already have a Network Interface Card installed. The SBC Express software will detect if you have a Network Interface Card installed. If your system already has a card installed, you DO NOT need to install an additional one. If you have any questions, please consult the information that came with your PC system.

• Your system manufacturer Owner’s Manual.

Step 3: Install a Telephone Filter on Every Telephone Line

3-1 Set up the phone jack where your DSL modem will go.

1) Locate the phone ack where you want

to connect your DSL

2) Insert the 2-way adapter in the phone

ack

3) Connect a filter to one side of the 2-way adapter

4) If you have a phone, fax machine, analog modem or other phone device at this location, connect it to the filter

5) Connect the data cable that will go to your DSL modem to the unfiltered

side of

the 2-way adapter

To the DSL modem to be installed in step 6.

3-2 Install a filter on all other phones and phone devices.

Why do I need a filter on all my other phones and phone devices?

Converting your regular phone line into a high-speed Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) can cause audible noise (high pitched tones and static) when you talk on the phone. You need to install a filter on every telephone or device that shares the same phone number as your DSL line to eliminate this noise.
