Quick Start Guide
SR655ac
This Quick Start Guide shows you how to set up and start using your new gateway.

Installation
Locate the splitter cable that is included with your SmartRG gateway. It has three ports.
1. Connect the splitter as follows:
a. Connect the DSL port of the gateway and the Modem port of the splitter with a telephone cable
b. Connect the phone to the Phone port of the splitter with a telephone cable
c. Connect the incoming line to the Line port of the splitter.
2. Connect a LAN port of the gateway to the network card of the PC using an Ethernet cable.
3. Plug the power adapter to the wall outlet and then connect the other end of it to the Power port of the
gateway.
4. Turn on the unit by pressing the On/Off button on the side of the gateway.
Note: If you use 3G WAN service, connect the 3G USB data card to the USB port of the gateway. If you use the Ethernet
uplink, connect to the WAN interface using an Ethernet cable. You cannot use the xDSL uplink, 3G WAN service, and
Ethernet uplink at the same time.
Your gateway is now automatically being set up to connect to the Internet. This process may take a few minutes to
complete before you can begin using your Internet applications (browser, email, etc.). If you are unable to connect to the
Internet, confirm that all cable connections are in place and the gateway’s power is turned on.
