1.1Preliminary Steps

DSL service

The DSL service must be up and running on your telephone line.

If both conventional telephone and DSL service are simultaneously available from the same copper pair, you will need a central splitter or distributed filters for decoupling DSL and telephone signals.

Public telephone lines carry voltages that can cause electric shock. Only try to set up splitter/ filters that have been designed to be installed by unqualified personnel. For further assistance, contact your Internet Service Provider.

Computer requirements

To connect a computer via Ethernet, make sure the computer is equipped with an Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC).

For wireless networking, you will need a WiFi-certified wireless client adapter for each computer you want to connect wirelessly.

Internet connection details

You may need the following connection details from your Internet Service Provider (ISP):

Your ISP’s method for connecting to the Internet (for example PPPoE)

The VPI/VCI (for example 8/35)

Your user name and password to connect to the Internet for PPP connections

Your IP settings in case of static configurations

Optionally your ISP may indicate the Service Profile to use during Setup.

You may have received this information when you subscribed to DSL at your Internet Service Provider (ISP). You will be prompted for this information at a given step in the installation procedure.

Voice over IP (VoIP) connection details

If you want to be able to make phone calls over the Internet, you will need following details for your VoIP connection:

A user account at your VoIP Service Provider

The server settings of your VoIP Service

These settings may be provided by your Internet Service Provider.
