Installation With a Standard Modem
1
Shut down your computer properly. Follow the instructions provided with the computer.
2
Unplug your cable or DSL modem power cord or adapter.
3
Disconnect any cables connecting your computer to the modem. Please leave your modem connected to
the cable or phone line that provides your Internet connection.
4
Connect one end of the blue Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on your modem.
5
Connect the other end of the blue Ethernet cable to the blue Ethernet port labeled Internet on the rear panel
of your voice gateway.
6
Connect one end of the yellow Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on your voice gateway.
7
Connect the other end of the yellow Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on your computer.
8
Plug your cable or DSL modem power cord or adapter into an AC power outlet. Refer to the instructions
provided with the modem.
Hint: Your modem should remain off for about 10 minutes to “clear its memory” so it can recognize the
VT2142 when you turn it back on. You can continue with the installation during this time.
Note: If your high-speed Internet connection was through
and your computer does not have an
Ethernet adapter, see
on page 64 for information.
IMPORTANT:
Before you continue, be sure to allow enough time for your modem to complete
its start-up process. Refer to the information provided by the modem manufacturer. For
example, startup for a Motorola SURFboard cable modem is complete when its Power, Receive,
Send, and Online lights are on and no longer flashing.
