Chapter 4: Connecting the ADSL Gateway
Overview
The installation technician from your ISP should have left the setup information for the modem with you after
installing your broadband connection. If not, you can call your ISP to request that data.
After you have the setup information you need for your specific type of Internet connection, you can begin
installation and setup of the Gateway. Continue to “Connecting the Gateway to a Computer.”
Connecting the Gateway to a Computer
1. Make sure that all of your network’s hardware is powered off, including the Gateway and all computers.
2. Connect a phone cable from the Line port on the Gateway’s side panel to the wall jack of the ADSL line. A
small device called a microfilter (not included) may be necessary between each phone and wall jack to
prevent interference. Contact your ISP if you have any questions.
Figure 4-1: Connect the ADSL Line
IMPORTANT: For countries that have phone jacks with RJ-11 connectors, make sure to only place
the microfilters between the phone and the wall jack and not between the Gateway and the wall
jack or your ADSL will not connect.
For countries that do not have phone jacks with RJ-11 connectors (e.g. France, Sweden,
Switzerland, United Kingdom, etc.), except for ISDN users, the microfilter has to be used between
the Gateway and the wall jack, because the microfilter will have the RJ-11 connector. (Extra filters
may be required for phones at your location.)
Annex B users must use the included special cable to connect the Gateway to the wall jack
(Standard Annex B units have an RJ-45 to RJ-12 cable and Annex B with UR-2 support have a stand
network cable RJ -45 to RJ-45 cable). If you require splitters or special jacks, please contact your
service provider.
NOTE:
A small device called a microfilter (not included) may be necessary between each phone
and wall jack to prevent interference. Contact your ISP if you have any questions.
