3 Quick Installation
This Quick Installation part describes how to connect the ZXDSL 831C device to your
computer, LAN and the Internet.
This Quick Installation assumes you have subscribed to an ISP for ADSL service and
only covers the basic configurations to be applied to residential or corporate networks.
3.1 Hardware Connection
Recommendation: It is recommended to follow the first example in actual connection!
Note: In the circumstance where the first connection example is not applicable
and you choose to use the second example, you must install a MicroFilter on the
telephone line (a splitter can never be used to replace the MicroFilter).
Special attention: Installing a telephone directly before the splitter will lead to a
failure to connect to the CO side device and the Internet or slow connection speed.
If you need to connect a telephone to the telephone line before the splitter, a
MicroFilter is required. (Generally, you can connect only one MicroFilter before
the splitter for reducing noise.)
1. Shown as the two examples below, use a Telephone line to connect the
DSL
port
of
ZXDSL 831C
to the
MODEM
port of the splitter, and connect the telephone
line to the
PHONE
port of the splitter. Then connect the wall phone jack with the
LINE
port of the splitter.
The splitter comes with three connectors as below:
LINE
: Connects to a wall phone jack (RJ-11 jack)
MODEM
: Connects to the
DSL
jack of
ZXDSL 831C
PHONE
: Connects to a telephone set
2. Use an Ethernet cable (straight-through or cross-over) to connect the
LAN
port of
ZXDSL 831C
to your LAN or a PC with network card installed.
3. Connect the power cord to the
PWR
connector on
ZXDSL 831C
, then plug in the
AC power adapter to the AC power outlet, and then press the on-off button.
