Page: 8 / 91

Hardware Installation
ADSL Connection
Connect your ADSL line to this port.
Fast Ethernet Connection
Connect a PC to one of the RJ-45 ports on the Belgacom b-box with the provided network
cable. When inserting an RJ-45 plug, be sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to
ensure that it is properly seated.
The LAN ports are dual-speed RJ-45 ports. They support auto-negotiation, so the
optimum communication mode (half or full duplex) and data rate (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps)
are selected automatically.
FXS Connection
Connect a standard analog telephone set or fax machine to either of the FXS ports on
the rear panel. The FXS ports are like your local phone service provider in that they can
generate and provide a ring signal.
Note: When you have connected a device to the FXS port as you will hear a dial tone
provided by the FXS port once the handset is off-hook.
ISP Settings
Please collect the following information from your ISP before setting up the Belgacom b-
box:
‰ ISP account user name and password
‰ Protocol, encapsulation and VPI/VCI circuit numbers
‰ DNS server address
‰ IP address, subnet mask and default gateway (for fixed IP users only)
Connect the System
The Belgacom b-box can be positioned at any convenient location in your office or home.
No special wiring or cooling requirements are needed. You should, however, comply with
the following guidelines:
•
Keep the Belgacom b-box away from any heating devices.
•
Do not place the Belgacom b-box in a dusty or wet environment.
You should also remember to turn off the power, remove the power cord from the outlet,
and keep your hands dry when you install the Belgacom b-box.
Connect the ADSL Line
Run standard telephone cable from the wall jack providing ADSL service to the RJ-11
(“ADSL”) port on your Belgacom b-box. When inserting an ADSL RJ-11 plug, be sure the
tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated. If you are using
splitterless ADSL service, be sure you add low-pass filters between the ADSL wall jack and
your telephones. (These filters pass voice signals through but filter data signals out.)
