instructions for proper installation and configuration.

the other end of the power supply into an AC wall socket.

equipped telephone line jack on the wall. IMPORTANT: Do not use a DSL filter on this connection. You must
use the phone cord that was provided with the kit.

of the Modem to the Ethernet port on your computer.
4. Check to see if the Power LED is solid green. Solid green indicates that the modem power is ON.
