Chapter 2 - Hardware Installation
In this chapter you will learn about the various connections you will need to make in order to use the
Modem.
When selecting the location for the Modem, allow ample room to access the connections on the rear

indicators. Allow some space above the Modem for ventilation to avoid problems with overheating.

your telephone line. Simply plug one end of the cable into the ADSL port (RJ-11 receptacle) on the rear
