Hardware Installation and 
PC Setup

Overview

This chapter provides basic instructions for connecting the modem to a computer 
or a LAN and to the Internet using DSL. The first part provides instructions to set 
up the hardware, and the second part describes how to prepare your PC for use 
with the modem. Refer to 

Chapter 3, 

Using the Web Interface

 for modem 

configuration instructions.

It is assumed that you have already subscribed to DSL service with your telephone 
company or other Internet service provider (ISP).

Connecting the Hardware

Shut down your PC before connecting the modem. To connect your modem:

Procedure

1. Connect the supplied modular phone cable to the LINE port, and connect the 

other end of the cable to your phone jack.

2. If you would like to use a phone in the vicinity of the modem, connect it to the 

PHONE jack of the modem using the cord that came with your telephone. The 
modem has an internal POTS filter, so you do not need to install one here.

3. Connect the USB port, the LAN port, or both.

— If you are connecting the modem directly to a PC (rather than to a LAN), 

you can use either the USB port or the LAN port. (Do not connect both the 
USB port and the LAN port to the same PC.) 

To use the USB port, connect the supplied USB cable to the USB port of 
the modem, then connect the other end of the cable to a free USB port on 
your PC.

When you start your PC (in a later step), Windows will detect the new 
hardware and initiate the Found New Hardware Wizard. Follow the 
instructions under 

Windows USB Driver Installation

 on page 2-3.

— Alternatively, you can use the included Ethernet cable to connect your 

computer directly to the modem. Attach one end of the supplied Ethernet
