The Back Panel
The Modem’s ports, where cables are connected, are located on the back panel. The Modem’s reset button is also
located on the back panel.
DSL The DSL port connects to the DSL line.
Ethernet The Ethernet port connects to your computer and other network devices.
Reset Button There are two ways to reset the Modem's factory default settings. Either press the Reset
Button, for approximately ten seconds, or restore the defaults on the Factory Defaults screen
of the Administration tab in the Modem’s Web-Based Utility.
Power The Power port is where you connect the power adapter.
With these, and many other, Linksys products, your networking options are limitless. Go to the Linksys
international website at www.linksys.com/international for more information about products that work with the
Modem.
Important: Resetting the Modem to factory
defaults will erase all of your settings (WAN
and LAN settings, etc.) and replace them with
the factory defaults. Do not reset the Modem if
you want to retain these settings.
