Step 1: Connecting the ADSL Ethernet Modem to
Your Computer/Notebook
Power off your Computer/Notebook or/and any connected devices before
connecting to the ADSL Ethernet Modem!
To connect the ADSL Ethernet Modem to your Computer/Notebook, you need to have an
Ethernet Port present on your Computer/Notebook.
(See the following note if you are not sure of how an Ethernet Port looks like).
Locating the Ethernet Port on your Computer/Notebook
The following are some tips to help you locate your Ethernet Port on your
Computer/Notebook. Alternatively, you may refer to the documentation that
comes with your Computer/Notebook.
Most Computers/Notebooks have labels describing the Ports. For Ethernet Port,
you will see either ETHERNET,ETH or RJ45 labelled near the Port.
If your Computer/Notebook does not have such descriptions, try the following.
-Picture A gives the illustration of an Ethernet Port. All Ethernet Ports have 8
conductors on it. Do not mistaken with the LINE Port (Picture B) that has only
6 conductors.
- An Ethernet Port is slightly bigger than a LINE Port.

The POTS Splitter is a device that allows you to connect both your Telephone
cable and Telephone Set to the same Telephone Wall Socket. The device at the
same time helps to eliminate background noise on the telephone line, ensuring
the best possible phone performance.

Step 1.3 Connecting to the Power Outlet
Connect the ADSL Ethernet Modem to the Power Outlet via the Power adapter (that comes
with your Modem package).
Connect the other end of the
Power Adapter to the Power
Outlet.

If you have Telephone set(s)/Facsimile
machine connected to other Telephone
Wall Socket(s), you will need to plug
in a Micro-Filter to each of the
Telephone Wall Socket before
connecting to the Telephone set as
illustrated.
Like the POTS Splitter, Micro-Filter
helps to eliminate noise on the
telephone line when your Ethernet
Modem and Telephone set are both
sharing the same line. The only
difference is that the POTS Splitter
has two RJ-11 jacks whereas the
Micro-Filter has only one.
(Micro-Filter can be purchased from
your dealer).
