Cable Connections

Depending on the wiring configuration used in your house, separate wall
jacks may be used for telephone and VDSL services. Otherwise, you will
need to connect telephones and your computer directly to the CPE.

1. Using standard telephone cable, connect the CPE’s RJ-11 LINE port

to the RJ-11 telephone wall jack providing the VDSL service.

2. Connect a telephone or fax machine to the RJ-11 port on the CPE

labeled PHONE.

3. For the Ethernet connection, make sure you have installed a 10/

100BASE-TX network adapter card in the computer.

4. Prepare straight-through shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cables

with RJ-45 plugs at both ends. Use 100-Ohm Category 3, 4, or 5 cable
for a 10 Mbps Ethernet connection, or Category 5 cable for a
100 Mbps connection.

5. Connect one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port of the network

interface card, and the other end to the RJ-45 LAN port on the CPE.
