2 Hardware Installation
Step 1 Connect the DSL port of the device and the Modem port of the splitter
with a telephone cable. Connect the phone to the Phone port of the
splitter through a telephone cable. Connect the incoming line to the
Line port of the splitter.
The splitter has three ports:
Line: Connect to a wall phone port (RJ-11 jack).
Modem: Connect to the DSL port of the device.
Phone: Connect to a telephone set.
Step 2 Connect a LAN port of the device to the network card of the PC
through an Ethernet cable (MDI/MDIX).
Note:
Use twisted-pair cables to connect the device to a Hub or switch.
Step 3 Plug one end of the power adapter to the wall outlet and the other end
to the Power port of the device.
Connection 1: Figure 3 displays the application diagram for the connection of the
device, PC, splitter and telephone sets, when no telephone set is placed before
the splitter.
Figure 3 Connection diagram (without telephone sets before the splitter)

Connection 2: Figure 4 displays the application diagram for the connection of the
device, PC, splitter and telephone sets when a telephone set is placed before the
splitter.
As illustrated in the following figure, the splitter is installed close to the device.
Figure 4 Connection diagram (with a telephone set before the splitter)
Note:
When connection 2 is used, the filter must be installed close to the
telephone cable. See Figure 4. Do not use the splitter to replace the
filter.
Installing a telephone directly before the splitter may lead to failure of connection
between the device and the central office, or failure of Internet access, or slow
connection speed. If you really need to add a telephone set before the splitter,
you must add a microfilter before a telephone set. Do not connect several
telephones before the splitter or connect several telephones with the microfilter.
