Connect an Ethernet cable between any one of the ADSL Modem/Router’s ETHERNET ports

Note:
Pressing the Reset button (RST) 8 seconds or more only affects the modem’s default IP
address (192.168.1.1), User Name (admin) and Password (admin). All other settings remain
unchanged.
5
Connect the supplied phone cord between your modem’s
DSL
jack and a phone jack with
ADSL service
Note:
Many ADSL Modem/Router models include a filter/splitter. This can be used if you
want to use a phone near the modem. A filter/splitter or ADSL filter should also be used with
phones not located near the modem, to prevent interference between the modem and
phone when the phone is off-hook.
Note that the filter/splitter is NOT required if you simply want to plug your modem into a
phone jack in the wall, without sharing that jack with a telephone.
To use a filter/splitter with a modem and a phone, connect the filter/splitter’s LINE or
PHONE LINE jack to a phone jack in the wall, plug the supplied phone cord between your
modem’s DSL jack and the filter/splitter’s MODEM jack, and plug the phone into the
filter/splitter’s PHONE jack. (Some but not all filter/splitters require you to use a short phone
cord to connect the filter/splitter to a phone jack in the wall.)
If you are using a filter/splitter with a phone only and not a modem, connect the
filter/splitter’s LINE or PHONE LINE jack to a phone jack in the wall, then plug the phone
into the filter/splitter’s PHONE jack. (Some but not all filter/splitters require you to use a
short phone cord to connect the filter/splitter to a phone jack in the wall.)
