ADSL2 Gateway with 4-Port Switch
4. Connect a phone cable from the Line port on the Gateway’s back panel (see Figure 4-2) to the wall jack of
the ADSL line. A small device called a microfilter may be necessary between each phone and wall jack to
prevent interference. Contact your ISP if you have any questions.
5. Connect the power adapter to the Gateway’s Power port (see Figure 4-3), and then plug the power adapter
into a power outlet. Turn the On/Off switch to On.
• The Power LED on the front panel will light up green as soon as the power adapter is connected properly
and the switch is turned on. The Power LED will flash for a few seconds, then it will light up steady when
the self-test is complete. If the LED flashes for one minute or longer, see “Appendix A: Troubleshooting.”
6. Power on one of your computers that is connected to the Gateway.
The Gateway’s hardware installation is now complete.
Go to “Chapter 5: Configuring the Gateway.”

NOTE: You should always plug the Gateway’s power
adapter into a power strip with surge protection.
NOTE: You should always change the SSID from its
default, linksys, and enable WEP encryption.
IMPORTANT: For countries that have phone jacks with RJ-11 connectors, make sure to
only place the microfilters between the phone and the wall jack and not between the
Modem 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 modem 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.
