Wireless-G ADSL Gateway with 2 Phone Ports

Wired Connection to a Computer

1.Before you begin, make sure that all of your network’s hardware is powered off, including the Gateway and all computers.

2.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.

3.Connect a phone cable from the Line port on the Gateway’s back panel to the wall jack of the ADSL line.

NOTE: A small device called a microfilter (not included) may be necessary between each phone and wall jack to prevent interference. Contact your ISP if you have any questions.

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 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.

4.Connect any telephones you wish to run through your ADSL line to the Gateway’s Phone ports.

5.Connect the power adapter to the Gateway’s Power port, 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.
