To connect your VersaLink using the 10/100-BaseT Ethernet connection, please follow these steps:
1. Connect the DSL phone cable from the connector marked DSL on the rear panel of the Modem to the DSL-
equipped telephone line jack on the wall. Please use the DSL phone cable that was provided with your kit.
IMPORTANT: Plug the RJ-11 DSL phone cable from the Router into the DSL port of the microfilter plugged
into the telephone jack at the wall.
2. Use the Y-cable provided with your kit. Plug the Ethernet jack (labeled PC/Ethernet, yellow) into the Ethernet port
on your computer. Then, at the other end of the Y-cable, plug the other Ethernet jack (labeled PC/Ethernet,
yellow) into any of the four Ethernet connectors on the rear panel of the Router.
NOTE: You can connect to any of the four Ethernet jacks on the rear panel of your Router as they serve as an
Ethernet switch. However, when using the optional uplink port (labeled UPLINK/E1), Ethernet LAN
connection is limited to ports E2, E3, and E4/DATA.
3. Connect the power supply cord to the power connector marked 12VDC on the rear panel of the Modem. Plug the
other end of the power supply into an AC wall socket, and then turn on the Router (if it is not already on).
4. Check to see if the POWER LED is solid green. Solid green indicates that the Router is functioning properly.
5. Check to see if the DSL LED is solid green. If it is solid green, DSL is functioning properly.
6. Check to see if the ETHERNET LED is solid green. Solid green indicates that Ethernet is functioning properly.
Check the ETHERNET LED for the Ethernet jack you are using on the VersaLink.
7. After you have logged on to your account and established an Internet connection, as explained later in section 9,
check to see if the Modem’s INTERNET LED is solid green. Solid green indicates that the Internet link has
been established. (Flashing green indicates the presence of IP traffic.)
Congratulations! You have completed the Ethernet hardware installation. No software installation is required when using
only an Ethernet connection. Now proceed to section 8 to access VersaLink’s Web pages.
IMPORTANT: If you are connecting to VersaLink via a wireless network adapter, the SSID must be the same for
both VersaLink and your PC’s wireless network adapter. The default SSID for VersaLink is the serial number of the
unit (located below the bar code on the bottom of the modem and also on the shipping carton). Locate and run the
utility software provided with your PC’s Wireless network adapter and enter the SSID value. The PC’s wireless
network adapter must be configured with the SSID (in order to communicate with VersaLink) before you begin the
account setup and configuration procedures. Later, for privacy you can change the SSID by following the
procedures outlined in section 13, “Wireless Settings.”
NOTE: Client PCs can use any Wireless 802.11b/g card to communicate with VersaLink. The Wireless card and
VersaLink must use the same Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security code type. The factory default for WEP is
Enabled. Please be sure that your computer’s wireless adapter is configured properly for whichever network setting
you use: WEP or WPA. You can access the settings in the advanced properties of the wireless network adapter.
