Connecting your ADSL router to your phone line
In order to setup your ADSL router, you need to go through the following steps:
Diagram 2:

Step 1: Switch the power of the ADSL router OFF.
Step 2: You will receive a power chord with your ADSL kit. This power chord needs to be plugged into the
ADSL router. Once this has been done, you must then plug the power cord into a power outlet in your home
that is surge protected.
Step 3: You will also receive a network cable with your ADSL kit. One end of the network cable needs to be
plugged into the Ethernet port on the ADSL router and the other end into the back of your PC.
Step 4: Your DSL phone cord needs to be plugged into the DSL port and the other end needs to be plugged
into the ADSL port of your Y-splitter.
Step 5: Your Filter is plugged into the router PSTN port, and the telephone cord is plugged into the Filter
and the other end of the cord into the phone port of your Y-Splitter.
Step 6: The other telephone cord is plugged into the Wall Jack from the Line port on the Y-Splitter.
Step 7: Your analogue phone and/or fax machine is plugged into the Phone ports of the router. The DSL
routers power can now be switched ON, once all the relevant connections have been made. The router will
now attempt to find a DSL signal. You know that the router has been successfully connected when the DSL
link light turns green and stops blinking.
