aaaa

Click OK when you are prompted to connect the USB
hardware, and then plug one end of the USB cable
into the modem’s USB port and the other end into
your computer’s USB port.

As the modem performs a startup sequence, you may
see a Found New Hardware box indicating the
progression of the installation. Typically no user action
is necessary. When the startup sequence is complete,
you will see a message that you have successfully
connected the USB hardware. Depending on your
operating system, you may be prompted to restart your
computer.

Congratulations! You have installed the modem software and
hardware. Now continue with the next section, Configuring Your
Web Browser.

If you want to plug a phone in through the modem, you
can do so by plugging it into the modem’s jack labeled
PHONE. If you do this, you should use a filter for that
phone as discussed below.

We HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you install a filter
for EVERY phone and fax that is sharing the ADSL
phone line. (Do not plug a filter between the wall jack

and the modem.) Phone filters block the ADSL
frequencies so that someone making a phone call will not
hear modem noise on the line. Filters also keep phone
conversations from interfering with ADSL performance.

You may have received ADSL phone filters with your
modem. If you did not, or if you need more filters, they
are available at most retail stores that carry consumer
electronics.

To attach a filter, plug the phone or fax machine’s cord
into the filter’s PHONE end and plug the filter’s LINE
end into the wall jack.

Step 2: Configuring Your Web Browser

The software that you use to make an Internet connection must be
set for a network connection, not a dial-up connection.

This section includes instructions for recent versions of two
popular Web browsers: Internet Explorer Version 5.0 (or later) and
Netscape Navigator Version 7.2. Netscape Navigator instructions
are on page 11, and Internet Explorer instructions are below.

Tip:

If you are using an earlier version of one of these browsers, the
configuration may be slightly different from below. In those
cases—or if you are using another browser altogether—configure
the browser to use a network connection (this might be called a
“Local Area Network” or “broadband” connection).

Configuring Internet Explorer

The following instructions are for Internet Explorer Version 5.0 or
later. (If you do not have this version, you can get a free upgrade
from Microsoft Corp. If you are not sure what version you have,
open Internet Explorer and from the Help menu, choose About
Internet Explorer. The version number is directly below the
Microsoft Internet Explorer logo. You can ignore all the numbers
after the period following the first digit.)

1111

On the desktop, right-click the Internet Explorer icon, and
select Properties.

Tip:

If you cannot access Internet Explorer in this way, open your
computer’s Control Panel (click the Start button and then,
depending on your computer, either click Control Panel, or
click Settings and then Control Panel). In the Control Panel,
double-click the Internet Options icon. If this icon does not
appear, double-click the Network and Internet Options icon
and then double-click the Internet Options icon.
