STEP 1 - Locate the wall socket in your home
Find the telephone wall socket in your home. They’re
most commonly found in the main living room space or
bedrooms, but can sometimes be in the kitchen area.
It should look something like the photo below. Make
a note of all the sockets in your home, even ones that
may be in non-ideal locations such as bedrooms.
If your home has an older style wall socket shown
below (typically the plug is a yellow square with 3
prongs), you’ll need to purchase a Jackson adapter
that allows you to plug in a modern RJ11 phone
cable. These adapters can be purchased at all most
electronics and computer stores.
If you are planning to use your landline telephone
service, you will need to purchase and connect an
ADSL in-line filter/splitter to connect your telephone
and your modem. An ADSL splitter can be purchased
at most major electronics stores.
STEP 2 - Connect your ADSL modem
Disconnect all devices in your home such as
telephones, modems, fax machines or anything else
that is plugged into a telephone wall socket. It is very
important that you have no other devices plugged into
sockets in your home for the initial setup. After setup,
any devices plugged into a telephone wall socket will
need to use a filter/splitter.
Take your modem/router’s power supply cable and use
it to connect your modem/router’s power port to an
electrical outlet. Switch the power point on. Plug the
included grey telephone cable that comes with your
ADSL modem into the DSL port on the back of your
ADSL modem. Plug the other end of the telephone
cable into your wall socket.
The setup should look like the below image once
completed if you are not using a splitter/filter:
The setup should look like the below image once
completed if you are using a splitter/filter:
You will now need to wait for the DSL light on your
modem to turn solid - this may take up to 15 minutes.
DO NOT UNPLUG THE DEVICE DURING THIS TIME.
