Getting Start

This chapter provides basic instructions for connecting the CPE to a computer or a LAN and to the Internet

via ADSL.

Part 1 provides instructions to set up the hardware.

Part 2 describes how to configure Internet properties on your computer(s).

Part 3 shows you how to access your CPE.

It is assumed that you have already subscribed to ADSL service with your telephone company or other

Internet service provider (ISP). These instructions provide a basic configuration that should be compatible

with your home or small office network setup. Refer to the subsequent chapters for additional configuration

instructions.

3.1

Connecting the Hardware

In 3.1, you should connect the device to an ADSL line, the power outlet, and your computer or network.

3.1.1

Connect the ADSL line

Connect your ADSL line to the port labeled LINE on the rear panel of the device, and connect the other end

of the line to the wall phone jack directly or to an optional POTS splitter. If you use a POTS splitter to

connect a telephone to the same wall jack as the CPE, follow the instructions that came with the splitter.

3.1.2

Connect the computers or a LAN

You can use the included Ethernet cable to connect your computer directly to the CPE. Attach one end of the

Ethernet cable to the port labeled LAN on the rear panel of the device and connect the other end to the Ethernet

port of your computer.

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 CPE.

Note that either a crossover or a straight-through Ethernet cable can be used. The CPE determines and adjusts to

the type of signal required.

3.1.3

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.

3.1.4

Turn on your computer

Turn on and boot up your computer and any other LAN devices, such as hubs or switches.
