• DSL connector (RJ-11)
• Reset push button
• Four Ethernet (RJ-45) connectors with optional UPLINK/E1 port and optional E4/DATA port
NOTE:
1. When using the optional UPLINK/E1 jack (when VersaLink is configured for WAN Uplink mode),
Ethernet LAN connection is limited to ports E2, E3, and E4. The Uplink feature is optional. If Uplink is not
enabled via the Web pages, VersaLink will use DSL as the WAN interface.
2. If you desire to install VersaLink via USB, use the optional E4/DATA port, which can be used for either
USB or Ethernet installation. See section 6 for hardware installation instructions.

active ADSL service or to the DSL port of a POTS
splitter.
UPLINK/E1 Modular 8-pin (RJ-45)

When the Ethernet connector is plugged in to the
Router’s DATA port, the USB cable can then be
plugged in to the USB port on a PC or Hub. Thus,
the Y-cable provides Internet connectivity via
Ethernet or USB; however, both connectors cannot
be used sumultaneously. If both connectors are
