System Requirements
In order to use your modem for Internet access, you must have the following:
ADSL service subscription from your ISP.
One computer with an Ethernet 10/100BaseT network interface card (NIC).
For system monitoring or configuration using the supplied web interface, a
web browser such as Internet Explorer Version 5.5 or later.
Ports and Buttons (Back Panel)
LINE port: This is the DSL interface which connects directly to your phone line.
PHONE port: This allows a phone to directly connect to the router. You do not
need to add splitter to the phone you connect here, since the router has an
internal splitter.
RESET Button: The RESET button is used to reset the router to the factory
default settings. Do not use the RESET button unless advised to by your
service representative.
LAN 1–4 (Local Area Network) port(s): connect to Ethernet network devices,
such as a PC, hub, switch, or router. Depending on the device connected, you
may need a crossover cable or a straight-through cable.
POWER is where you connect the power supply.
ON/OFF: Controls power to the router. The router is on when this button is in
its down position, and off when the button is in its up position.
LED Description (Front Panel)
Power LED: On indicates that the power is supplied to the router.
Status LED: The Status LED serves two purposes. If the LED is continuously
lit, the DSL interface is successfully connected to a device through the LINE
port. If the LED is flickering, it is an indication that the router is training
(negotiating the connection to its partner modem).
Link LED: The Activity LED shows the state of the PPPoA or PPPoE
connection. Off: no PPP connection is established or the connection is not
used. Blinking: a PPP connection is being attempted. Solid green: a PPP
