Step 1: Connecting the ADSL Ethernet Modem to

Your Computer/Notebook

Power off your Computer/Notebook or/and any connected devices before

connecting to the ADSL Ethernet Modem!

To connect the ADSL Ethernet Modem to your Computer/Notebook, you need to have an

Ethernet Port present on your Computer/Notebook.

(See the following note if you are not sure of how an Ethernet Port looks like).

Locating the Ethernet Port on your Computer/Notebook

The following are some tips to help you locate your Ethernet Port on your

Computer/Notebook. Alternatively, you may refer to the documentation that

comes with your Computer/Notebook.

Most Computers/Notebooks have labels describing the Ports. For Ethernet Port,

you will see either ETHERNET,ETH or RJ45 labelled near the Port.

If your Computer/Notebook does not have such descriptions, try the following.

-Picture A gives the illustration of an Ethernet Port. All Ethernet Ports have 8

conductors on it. Do not mistaken with the LINE Port (Picture B) that has only

6 conductors.

- An Ethernet Port is slightly bigger than a LINE Port.

The POTS Splitter is a device that allows you to connect both your Telephone

cable and Telephone Set to the same Telephone Wall Socket. The device at the

same time helps to eliminate background noise on the telephone line, ensuring

the best possible phone performance.

Connect the Telephone set to the

jack labelled TEL or PHONE and

the telephone cable to the jack

labelled LINE.

Step 1.3 Connecting to the Power Outlet

Connect the ADSL Ethernet Modem to the Power Outlet via the Power adapter (that comes

with your Modem package).

Connect the other end of the

Power Adapter to the Power

Outlet.

If you have Telephone set(s)/Facsimile

machine connected to other Telephone

Wall Socket(s), you will need to plug

in a Micro-Filter to each of the

Telephone Wall Socket before

connecting to the Telephone set as

illustrated.

Like the POTS Splitter, Micro-Filter

helps to eliminate noise on the

telephone line when your Ethernet

Modem and Telephone set are both

sharing the same line. The only

difference is that the POTS Splitter

has two RJ-11 jacks whereas the

Micro-Filter has only one.

(Micro-Filter can be purchased from

your dealer).
