Connecting the DVG-2101S Directly to a Modem

If your computer connects directly to a DSL or Cable modem and does not connect to a router, follow the steps below to install your DVG-2101S.

Note: This is the most common setup configuration for the DVG-2101S. If you do not require the use of more than one LAN port, you do not need an additional router.

1.Turn off your computer.

2.Disconnect the power to your Cable/DSL modem (unplug or turn off the power switch).

3.Unpack the Ethernet cable (blue) that comes with DVG-2101S. Attach one end of the Ethernet cable (blue) provided in this package to a LAN or Ethernet port on your Cable/DSL modem. If there are no Ethernet ports available on your modem, you should include a router in your network setup (see diagram on the next page).

4.Attach the other end of the provided Ethernet cable to the WAN port of the DVG-2101S.

5.Attach one end of the provided phone cable (gray) to a standard analog telephone.

6.Attach the other end of the phone cable to the PHONE port on the rear panel of the DVG-2101S.

7.Reconnect the power to the Cable/DSL Modem (plug in or turn on the power switch).

8.Unpack the 12V DC power adapter that comes with the DVG-2101S. Connect the power adapter to the power connecter on the DVG-2101S.

9.Connect the other end of the power adapter to an available electrical outlet (wall socket or surge protector).

10.Restart your PC.
