Step 4. Connect the SpeedStream 4100 DSL Modem
Note: In order to provide you with the best possible connectivity, your DSL circuit must "train" for
at least 10 days when first activated. During this period you must leave the DSL modem plugged in,
turned on, and connected at all times. You do not need to leave your computer turned on during this
period- just the DSL modem. For best results, please plug in your DSL modem and turn it on the day
before your scheduled installation date, and leave it turned on for at least 10 days.
1.
Ensure that one end of the supplied
phone cable
is connected securely to the
DSL port
on the
SpeedStream modem. The other end of the phone cable should be connected to a
DSL
port on the
splitter filter
, which should be plugged into your phone jack, as outlined in step 3-1.
2.
Plug one end of the supplied
Ethernet Cable
into the
Ethernet port
on the SpeedStream modem.
Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on your computer.
3.
Plug the power supply into the DSL modem and into an electrical outlet or surge protector. Push the
power button (unless it is already depressed). The DSL Modem will begin a self-test routine; during
this period the lights on the front of the DSL Modem will flash on and off.
4.
The
Power
light should turn solid green right away, and the
DSL
light should turn solid green within
two minutes (if your circuit is active- see notes in step 5.) While the Modem is starting up, the lights
may blink erratically- this is normal behavior.
5.
If the
Power
light does not turn on, check your power cable. Make sure your power supply is
connected to a live electrical outlet, and that your connections are secured.
