To connect the BCM50a main unit to the WAN

1Use the Integrated Router Web GUI to configure the router card on the BCM50a main unit. Refer to the BCM50a Integrated Router Configuration Guide (N0027181) for information about how to configure the router.

2Make sure the power supply is connected to the BCM50a main unit and to the ac power source (wall outlet).

Warning: Do not plug the WAN cable into the system unless the power supply is connected to the main unit and an ac power source with a third-wire ground.

3Connect one end of a standard telephone cable to the ADSL telephone line provided by your ISP.

4Plug the other end of the telephone cable into the WAN port.

Note: If you use the ADSL telephone line for both ADSL and regular voice communication, you must install a splitter filter. The splitter filter is provided by your ADSL service provider. Follow your service provider's instructions on how to connect the splitter.
