ACTIONTEC DSL GATEWAY INSTALLATION
The Actiontec DSL Gateway needs proper
ventilation to function. Place your Actiontec DSL
Gateway in an adequately ventilated area and
away from heat sources.
Steps for wiring a single computer:
1. Plug the end of the power cord into the power
port on the back of the Actiontec DSL Gateway.
(figure 10)
2. Plug the other end of the power cord into
a power outlet. (A power strip with surge
protection is recommended.)
3. Turn the power switch on.
4. Plug one end of the Ethernet (yellow) cable into
the Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) in
your computer. (figure 11)
Note: Your computer may look
slightly different.
5. Plug the remaining end of the Ethernet cable
into one of the yellow Ethernet ports on the
back of the Actiontec DSL Gateway. (figure 12)
6. Connect one end of the DSL (gray) cable
