wall plate pegs and press down gently to secure.
3. Connect the telephone cord to the phone jack located on the
front of the mounted filter.
4. Attach the telephone to the mounting pegs on the DSL filter
and your installation is complete.
Note: The extra phone jack located at the bottom of the filter (labeled LINE) is provided should
you wish to connect your gateway at this phone connection.
Connect your first computer to the gateway
There are many ways to set up your network, but typically the first computer is located in the same room as
the gateway and your DSL connection. Ethernet is the preferred connection method for your first computer,
although instructions for connecting via USB are also provided.
To begin your gateway installation:
1. Remove the gateway, power adapter, and cables from the gateway box.
2. Connect the provided power adapter from the gateway’s POWER port to an electrical outlet.
3. Connect the provided gray phone cable from the gateway’s PHONE LINE port to the DSL filter jack labeled
DSL/HPNA.
Proceed to the Ethernet or USB connection instructions beginning on the following pages.
