ADSL Modem

Chapter 3: Connecting the ADSL Modem

Overview

In this chapter, you will connect the Modem to your DSL line and to a computer in your home or business. It is not
necessary to mount your Modem, but may be useful to conserve space. There are 2 slots on the underside of the
Modem that can be used for wall mounting.
You can connect the Modem to your PC using either the Ethernet port or the USB port. If you use the USB port, you
will need to install a USB driver on your PC. Depending on your choice of connection, please proceed to the
appropriate section "Connecting Using the Ethernet Port" or "Connecting using the USB Port".

Wall-Mount Option

You will need 2 suitable screws (4.4 mm screw diameter) to mount the Modem.
1. Determine where you want to mount the Modem. Ensure that the wall you use is smooth, flat, dry and sturdy
and make sure the location is within reach of the power outlet.
2. Drill two holes into the wall. Make sure the holes are 101.6 mm (4 inches) apart.
3. Insert a screw into each hole, and leave 3 mm (0.12 inch) of its head exposed.
4. Maneuver the Modem so the wall-mount slots line up with the two screws.
5. Place the wall-mount slots over the screws and slide the Modem down until the screws fit snugly into the
wall-mount slots.
Congratulations! The Wall-Mount installation of the Modem is complete. Perform the steps under Connecting the
Modem to complete your Modem installation.
