Hotwire 6210, 6211, and 6381 User’s Guide

3.1.1Cable Connections

Step 1. Connect the LINE Port

Connect the supplied modular phone cable to the LINE port, and connect the other end of the cable to your phone jack.

Step 2. Connect the PHONE Port

If you would like to use a phone in the vicinity of the modem, connect it to the PHONE jack of the modem using the cord that came with your telephone. The modem has an internal POTS filter, so you don’t need to install one here.

Step 3. Connect the USB Port or the LAN Port

If you are connecting the modem directly to a PC (rather than to a LAN), you can use either the USB port or the LAN port. (Do not connect both the USB port and the LAN port to the same PC.)

Using the USB Port

To use the USB port, connect the supplied USB cable to the USB port of the modem, then connect the other end of the cable to a free USB port on your PC.

When you start your PC (in a later step), Windows will detect the new hardware and initiate the Found New Hardware Wizard. Follow the instructions in Section 3.2.1.

Using the LAN Port

You can use the included Ethernet cable to connect your computer directly to the modem. Attach one end of the supplied Ethernet cable to the LAN port and connect the other end to the 10/100BaseT port on the network interface card in your PC.

If your LAN has more than one computer, you can attach one end of an Ethernet cable to a hub or a switch and the other to the port labeled LAN on the modem. This probably will require an Ethernet crossover cable. See the documentation for your hub or switch.

Step 4. Attach the Power Adapter

The supplied power adapter may look different than the one illustrated here.

Connect the cylindrical power plug into the POWER connector on the back of the device.

If you have a wall-mount adapter, plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet or a power strip.

If you have a table-top adapter, use the AC power cord to connect the adapter to a wall outlet or power strip.

3.1.2Turn on Your PC

Turn on your PC any other LAN devices, such as hubs or switches.
