Warning: Several of the connectors and connection cables are very similar. It is important that you use the correct cable for each connection and that you do not connect the ports incorrectly, because serious damage to your router could result.

Connecting the Serial Cable (Optional)

Plug the RJ-45 end of the 25-pin to RJ-45 serial cable into the port labeled MANAGER on the router. Plug the other end into a serial port (such as COM1 or COM2) of your PC. You must use the included 25-pin to 9-pin adapter if your PC has only a 9-pin port available.

Connecting to the Line Port

Plug one end of the black telephone cable into the connector labeled LINE on the router. Plug the other end into the telephone line wall jack.
