HARDWARE INSTALLATION
CAUTION!!!
Turn off all electronic devices, including your personal
computer, before you begin to connect and disconnect cables.
Setup Instructions
• Choose a location for the NetDSL close to a power outlet and
nearby telephone outlet. Preferably, select a convenient
location that does not experience too much foot traffic and is
away from sunlight.
• Choose a level surface for the NetDSL – such as a desktop,
shelf, or table.
• Place the NetDSL on the predetermined surface, so you can
see the back panel.

10BaseT Interface Connection
Step 1.

Step 2.
Attach the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet interface
of your NetDSL.

Plug in the loose end of the Ethernet cable to your Ethernet
network.
Option 1. Attach the included Ethernet cable to the Ethernet
port on a PC.
Option 2. Attach the included Ethernet cable to the uplink
port on a hub. If the uplink port is unavailable, then
you can use a crossover Ethernet cable (Not

hub.
Step 4.
The LAN Link LED on the front panel should be lit green to
indicate a valid Ethernet connection. If the LAN Link LED is not lit,
then repeat steps 1 through 3.
NOTE:
See Section B “
ETHERNET CABLE PINOUT
” for further
information about the differences between a straight-through and a
crossover Ethernet cable.
