modem and the ADSL network through a twisted-pair phone wire
This section describes how to connect and configure the ADSL router.
Connect the router directly to the wall jack using the included ADSL cable.
There are two methods to connect the router and workstation. The one use
the crossover Ethernet cable to connect directly between them. The other use
straight Ethernet cable to connect router with hub (or switch), then go to the
workstation.
Connect the power adapter to the port labeled POWER on the rear panel of
router.
The procedure for connecting cables differs depending on whether or not your
telephone equipment is connected to a POTS splitter.
(ADSL over POTS)
A POTS splitter separates data signals from voice signals on your telephone
line. The POTS splitter works by running a separate data line from the voice
line, so that the ADSL router has a dedicated cable for data transmission.
Figure 2-3.1 and 2-3.2 shows how to connect all cables to the Router.
