on the rear panel of the Router to the telephone wall
jack provisioned with DSL service. Please use the DSL phone cable that was provided with your kit.

: Plug the RJ-11 DSL phone cable from the Router into the DSL port of the microfilter plugged
into the telephone jack at the wall.

After you have logged on to your account and established an Internet connection, as explained later in section 9,
“Configuring Your Broadband Connection,” check to see if the Router’s
INTERNET

Connecting VersaLink to Your Network via E1/UPLINK
The Uplink feature is optional. To install VersaLink so that it uplinks to another ADSL device, such as an e xisting
DSL or cable modem installed on your network, follow the steps outlined below:
1.
Ensure that your existing DSL or cable modem is properly installed on your network and has active broadband
(Internet) connection.
2.
Obtain a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet cable, and plug one end of the cable into the port marked
E1/UPLINK
on the
rear panel of VersaLink. Then, plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on the attached
DSL or cable modem.
If desired, you can use the Y-cable provided with your kit. Simply plug the “Y” end of the cable (Ethernet jack
labeled PC/Ethernet, yellow) into the Ethernet port on your existing DSL or cable modem. Then plug the other
end of the Y-cable (Ethernet jack labeled PC/Ethernet, yellow) into the
E1/UPLINK
port on the rear panel of
your VersaLink.)
Later, in VersaLink’s Web pages, be sure to select WAN Uplink port mode to allow your VersaLink to uplink to
the existing broadband device. When VersaLink is configured for WAN Uplink port, VersaLink’s DSL
transceiver will not be used. The broadband device to which VersaLink is connected will be your WAN interface
to the Internet. LAN Ethernet port is VersaLink’s factory default setting, refer to section 14.2.3 for details.
