Modem Setup
When installing the modem, find an area near a DSL connection where there are
enough electrical outlets for the modem, the main computer, and your other
computer devices.
To set up the modem:
1. Position the wireless antenna vertically.
2. Plug one end of the telephone cable from the POTS Splitter’s Modem port and
then plug the other end into the modem’s DSL port
POTS Splitter
Your phone line carries both phone calls and Internet signals. When you are using
the Internet, the connection produces high-pitched tones that can affect your
voice calls when using the phone. Installing a Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS)
Splitter separates the two signals and eliminates the noise.
To set up the telephone on the POTS Splitter:
a. Locate the phone jack in your house with the DSL and phone connection
b. Insert the POTS Splitter into the phone jack.
c. Plug one end of the telephone cable from the POTS Splitter’s TEL port and
then plug the other end
into the telephone.
You can use the splitter to
connect the modem and the
phone to the same wall jack (as
shown here).
