Installation

1. Setting up the router

The location environment

Place the router in a location where air can circulate freely around it.
The router case has vents on top cover and its sides.  Leave at least
two (2) inches of clearance between the vents on the both sides of the
router and any object that might restrict air flow.  Never operate the
router when its vents are covered or obstructed.

Connect your Wide Area Network

Plug one end of the phone cable in the port labeled 

LINE

 on the rear

panel of router until you feel it lock and connect the other end of line
to your ADSL wall jack.

Connect the CONSOLE port

The CONSOLE port lets you connect the router to a personal computer
through the console cable to configure, administer and monitor your
ADSL router setting with Graphic User Interface (GUI). (described in the
chapter of Configuration on page 10)

RJ-11 cable

Adapter

DB-9 to RJ-14 Console cable
