Installing the modem is a multi-step process composed of the
following tasks.

Installing line filters
Prior to installing the Siemens 4100/4101 DSL modem you must
wire and filter the modem for proper installation. This includes:
• Locating the phone line where the modem will be installed.
• Installing filter(s) on a shared ADSL line. Install filters on
each analog device sharing the phone line or the phone line
needs to be split with a filter on the branch where all the
analog devices are. Do not put a filter on the portion of the
line where the modem is attached.
Connecting the cables
To connect the modem’s cables follow the steps below:
1. Place the SpeedStream ADSL modem is an upright
horizontal position on a flat surface.
2. Plug the power cable (black cable) into an electrical outlet
and connect it to the black 12VDC port on the back of the
DSL modem.
3. Connect one end of the data cable (gray cable) to the gray
DSL modem port on the back of the modem. Connect the
other end to the phone jack or to the side of the DSL filter
labeled “DSL/HPN” the gray port on the phone filter.
4. Connect the yellow Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the
back of your laptop to the Ethernet port (yellow port) on the
back of the DSL modem.
After verifying all connections are correct, toggle the black power
switch (on the right side of the back panel) to the on position.
Checking the modem LEDS
Once you turn the modem on, the LEDs on the front of the
modem illuminate. If the modem is working properly, you should
verify the following:
.
• The power LED turns green after all tests have passed.
• The Ethernet light should remain a solid green.
• The DSL LED must remain a solid green. This indicates that
a connection has been established.
