Chapter 2: Hardware Installation
Physical Connection
Before installing the device, please make sure your broadband service provided by your ISP is
available. If there is any problem, please contact your ISP. You need to connect the device to the
phone jack, the power outlet, and your computer or network. Before cable connection, turn off
the power supply and keep your hands dry. You can follow the steps below to install it.
Step 1: Connect the ADSL Line.
Method one: Plug one end of the twisted-pair ADSL line into the DSL port on the rear panel of
FD-224, and insert the other end into the wall socket.
Method two: You can use a separate splitter. External splitter can divide data and voice, and then
you can access the Internet and make calls at the same time. The external splitter has three
ports:
• LINE: Connect to the wall jack.
• PHONE: Connect to the phone sets.
• MODEM: Connect to the
DSL port of FD-224. Plug one end of the twisted-pair ADSL line into
the DSL port on the rear panel of FD-224. Connect the other end to the Modem port of the
external splitter.
Step 2: Connect the Ethernet cable. Attach one end of a network cable to your computer’s
Ethernet port or a regular hub/switch port, and the other end to the LAN port on FD-224.
Step 3: Attach the power adapter. Connect the AC power adapter to the PWR connector on the
rear of the device and plug in the adapter to a wall outlet or power extension.
Step 4: Turn on FD-224 and power on the computers and LAN devices.
Note:
If you currently use a modem, disconnect it, the Modem Router will replace your old
modem.
After the physical connection please check whether the LEDs of the Modem Router
display normally as the diagram below describes.
