Chapter 4: Connecting the ADSL Gateway

Overview

The installation technician from your ISP should have left the setup information for the modem with you after installing your broadband connection. If not, you can call your ISP to request that data.

After you have the setup information you need for your specific type of Internet connection, you can begin installation and setup of the Gateway. Continue to “Connecting the Gateway to a Computer.”

Connecting the Gateway to a Computer

1. Make sure that all of your network’s hardware is powered off, including the Gateway and all computers.
2. Connect a phone cable from the Line port on the Gateway’s side panel to the wall jack of the ADSL line. A
small device called a microfilter (not included) may be necessary between each phone and wall jack to
prevent interference. Contact your ISP if you have any questions.
NOTE: A small device called a microfilter (not included) may be necessary between each phone
and wall jack to prevent interference. Contact your ISP if you have any questions.
IMPORTANT: For countries that have phone jacks with RJ-11 connectors, make sure to only place	Figure 4-1: Connect the ADSL Line
the microfilters between the phone and the wall jack and not between the Gateway and the wall
jack or your ADSL 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 Gateway and the wall jack, because the microfilter will have the RJ-11 connector.
Annex B users (E1 and DE versions of the Gateway) must use the included special cable to connect
the Gateway to the wall jack (RJ-45 to RJ-12). If you require splitters or special jacks, please
contact your service provider.
