5.1 Connecting Your Gateway to a DSL Network
To connect your Gateway to a network provisioned with active DSL service, please follow these steps:
1. Connect the DSL phone from the connector marked DSL on the rear panel of the Gateway to the telephone wall
jack provisioned with DSL service. Please use the DSL phone cable that was provided with your kit.
IMPORTANT: Plug the RJ-11 DSL phone cable from the Gateway into the DSL port of the microfilter
plugged into the telephone jack at the wall.
2. Plug the small end of the power supply cord into the connector marked 12VDC on the rear panel of the Gateway.
Plug the other end of the power supply into an AC wall socket.
3. Turn on the Gateway (if it is not already on) by pressing the POWER switch on the back of the Gateway.
4. Check to see if the POWER LED is solid green. Solid green indicates that the Gateway is functioning properly.
5. Check to see if the DSL LED is solid green. If it is solid green, DSL is functioning properly.
6. Log on to your account, and establish an Internet connection, as explained later in section 7, “Accessing Your
Gateway.”
7. Check to see if the Gateway’s INTERNET LED is solid green. Solid green indicates that the Internet link has
been established. (Flashing green indicates the presence of IP traffic.)
Congratulations! You have completed the installation. Now, go to section 5.3, “Connecting Other Networking Devices to
Your Gateway,” for instructions on connecting other networking devices to your Gateway.
5.2 Connecting Your Gateway to a Network via E1/UPLINK
The Uplink feature is optional. To install your Gateway so that it uplinks to another DSL device, such as an existing
DSL or cable modem installed on your network, please follow these steps:
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 your Gateway. 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 Gateway.
Later, in your Gateway’s Web pages, be sure to select WAN Uplink port mode to allow your Gateway to uplink
to the existing broadband device. When your Gateway is configured for WAN Uplink port, your Gateway’s DSL
transceiver will not be used. The broadband device to which your Gateway is connected will be your WAN
interface to the Internet. LAN Ethernet port is your Gateway’s factory default setting.
3. Plug the small end of the power supply cord into the connector marked 12VDC on the rear panel of the Gateway.
Plug the other end of the power supply into an AC wall socket.
4. Make sure the existing modem on your network is powered on.
5. Turn on the Gateway (if it is not already on) by pressing the POWER switch on the back of the Gateway.
6. Check the front of the Gateway to see if the POWER LED is solid green. Solid green indicates that the Gateway
is powered on.
