3.Connect one end of an Ethernet network cable to one of the Ethernet ports (labeled 1-4) on the back of the Gateway, and the other end to an Ethernet port on a computer.

Repeat this step to connect more computers, a switch, or other network devices to the Gateway.

4.Connect the power adapter to the Gateway’s Power port, and then plug the power adapter into a power outlet.

NOTE: You should always plug the Gateway’s power adapter into a power strip with surge protection.

The Power LED will immediately light up green. The Power LED will flash for a few seconds, and then it will be solidly lit when the self-test is complete. If the LED flashes for one minute or longer, see “Appendix A: Troubleshooting.”

5. Power on one of your computers that is connected to the Gateway.

Go to “Chapter 5: Configuring the ADSL Gateway.”
