Connecting the Broadband Interface

Follow these steps to connect the gateway to Very High Bit-rate DSL (VDSL) wall jack:

Connect one end of the phone cord/twisted pair cable to the DSL port (green) on your
gateway.

Connect the other end of the phone cord/twisted pair cable to the VDSL enabled wall jack
outlet. Once the gateway recognizes the VDSL connection, Broadband LED flashes green
for a brief period of time, and then turns solid green.
