Turn the modem on by pushing the ON/OFF button.
The PWR light on the front panel of the modem should
become steady on, and the LINK light should blink and then
become steady on. If the PWR light does not turn on, make
sure there is power at the wall outlet or power strip where you
plugged in the power cube and that you have pushed the
modem’s ON/OFF button to turn it on.

[Optional] If you want to plug in a phone through the modem,
you can do so by plugging it into the PHONE port. (A filter is
not required.)

We HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you install a filter on
EVERY phone and fax that is sharing the ADSL phone
line. Phone filters block the ADSL frequencies so that
someone making a normal phone call will not hear modem
noise on the line. They also keep phone conversations from
interfering with ADSL performance.
The PHONE port of the modem has a built-in filter, so there
is no need for a filter if you plug a phone into the PHONE
port.
You may have received ADSL phone filters with your modem.
If you did not, or if you need more filters, they are available at
most retail stores that carry consumer electronics.
Plug each phone or fax cord into the filter’s PHONE end and
plug the filter’s LINE end into the wall jack.
