Chapter 3: Setting Up and Connecting the ADSL Modem

Overview

In this chapter, you will connect the Modem to your DSL line and to a computer in your home or business. It is not necessary to mount your Modem, but may be useful to conserve space. There are 2 slots on the underside of the Modem that can be used for wall mounting.

Wall-Mount Option

You will need 2 suitable screws (4.4 mm screw diameter) to mount the Modem.

1.Determine where you want to mount the Modem. Ensure that the wall you use is smooth, flat, dry and sturdy and make sure the location is within reach of the power outlet.

2.Drill two holes into the wall. Make sure the holes are 101.6 mm (4 inches) apart.

3.Insert a screw into each hole, and leave 3 mm (0.12 inch) of its head exposed.

4.Maneuver the Modem so the wall-mount slots line up with the two screws.

5.Place the wall-mount slots over the screws and slide the Modem down until the screws fit snugly into the wall-mount slots.

Congratulations! The Wall-Mount installation of the Modem is complete. Perform the steps under Connecting the Modem to complete your Modem installation.
