nConnect the provided ADSL cable to the PHONE
port of the Corecess 3121 and a telephone.
oUnplug the telephone line from the telephone
and plug the line to the LINE port of the Corecess
3121.
Connecting PC
Connect the provided Ethernet cable to the LAN port
of the Corecess 3121 and then connect the other end
of the cable to Ethernet port on the NIC installed to
your PC.
Note: If you are connecting a LAN to the Corecess 3121, you must use a “crossover” Ethernet cable
(not provided) to attach a regular hub or switch port. The crossover cable is wired differently than the
cable you would use to connect to a hub. When you compare the colored wires on each end of a
straight-through cable, they will be in the same sequence; on crossover cables, they will not. Contact
your ISP for assistance.
Connecting Console Terminal
Caution: General users need not to connect a console terminal. It is only for the ADSL Service Provider.
Connect a console cable to the CONSOL port of the
Corecess 3121 and then connect the other end of the
cable to the terminal or a PC.

Troubleshooting
If you cannot connect to ADSL network, please check the status of the LEDs on the front panel,
and then ensure the following:
1. Check the LAN LED
If the LAN LED goes off, ensure that the Ethernet cable is firmly connected both to the LAN
port on the Corecess 3121 and Ethernet port on the NIC installed to your PC.
2. Check the DSL LED
If the DSL LED blinks continuously and never stays solid on, ensure that the DSL cable is
firmly connected to the LINE port on the Corecess 3121. If the DSL LED still blinks, contact
your ADSL service provider. If the DSL LED goes off, turn off the power of the Corecess 3121
by pressing the power switch and turn on the power again. If DSL LED still blinks, contact
your vendor.
3. Check your PC’s IP address
If all LEDs operate normally and cables are firmly connected to the ports, ensure that your
PC’s IP address is properly assigned. Otherwise, assign a new IP address according to your
operating system.
