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.
