6.1.3 Connecting VersaLink via UPLINK/E1
The Uplink feature is optional. If you want to install your Router so that it uplinks to another ADSL device, follow
the steps outlined below:
1. Connect the attached ADSL device to the ADSL-equipped jack on the wall, using the RJ-11 phone cord that
was provided with the kit. If you are using a microfilter at the wall jack, you must connect the RJ-11 DSL
phone cable from the DSL port of the ADSL device to the DSL port of the microfilter.
NOTE: The ADSL device to which you are connecting will function as your WAN interface to the Internet. Be
sure you have connected the ADSL device appropriately. If needed, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Use the Y-cable provided with your kit. Plug the Ethernet jack from the port marked UPLINK/E1 on the rear
panel of VersaLink to the Ethernet port on the attached ADSL device, and then turn on the power switch of the
attached ADSL device (if it is not already on).
NOTE: Later, in VersaLink’s Web pages, be sure to select WAN Uplink port mode to allow VersaLink to
uplink to the ADSL device. When VersaLink is configured for WAN Uplink port mode, VersaLink’s DSL
transceiver will not be used. The ADSL device to which VersaLink is connected will be your WAN interface to
the Internet. LAN Ethernet port is VersaLink’s factory default setting, refer to section 14.2.3 for details.
3. Connect additional PCs to VersaLink using the Ethernet jacks marked E2, E3, or E4/DATA on the rear panel of
VersaLink; each jack serves as an Ethernet switch. (Additional Ethernet cables are not provided with the kit.)
4. Connect the power supply cord to the power connector marked 12VDC on the rear panel of the VersaLink. Plug
the other end of the power supply into an AC wall socket, and then turn on the power (if it is not on).
5. Check to see if the VersaLink’s POWER LED is solid green. This indicates that VersaLink is powered on.
6. Check to see if the ETHERNET LED is solid green. Solid green indicates that the Ethernet connection is
functioning properly. Check the ETHERNET LED for the Ethernet jack you are using on VersaLink.
7. After you have logged on to your account and established an Internet connection, as explained later in section 7,
check to see if the VersaLink’s INTERNET LED is solid green. Solid green indicates that an Internet link has
been established. (Flashing green indicates the presence of IP traffic.)
Congratulations! You have completed the UPLINK/E1 installation for VersaLink. No software installation is required
when using the uplink connection. Now proceed to section 8 to access VersaLink’s Web pages.
6.1.4 Connecting VersaLink via USB
It is recommended that you connect your VersaLink via Ethernet connections. However, if you choose to connect
your computer via USB, you must follow the instructions in this section.
IMPORTANT: The USB installation will not function for Macintosh computers. Macintosh users will need to
install the Router via Ethernet connection. See section 6.1.1 for Ethernet installation instructions.
To install your Router using a USB connection, please follow these steps in the order presented:
1. Insert the CD-ROM provided with your kit into the CD-ROM drive of the PC that will connect via USB.
2. Use the Y-cable provided with your kit. At the “Y” end of the cable, plug the USB connector (labeled PC/USB,
blue) into the USB port on your computer. Then, at the other end of the Y-cable, plug the Ethernet jack (labeled
PC/Ethernet, yellow) into the Ethernet connector marked E4/DATA on the rear panel of the Router.
3. Connect the power supply cord to the power connector marked 12VDC on the rear panel of the Router. Plug the
other end of the power supply into an AC wall socket, and then turn on the Router (if it is not already on).
