2 Basic Installation
Before you begin
Make sure you read the safety instructions and regulatory notices first. You can find the safety instructions on
the Setup CD (see “2.2 Installing your Thomson Gateway” on page 7). They may also be provided as a
printed booklet.
ADSL service
The ADSL service must be up and running on your telephone line.
If both conventional telephone and ADSL service are simultaneously available from the same copper pair,
you will need a central splitter or distributed filters for decoupling ADSL and telephone signals.
Computer requirements
>To connect your computer via Ethernet, make sure the computer is equipped with an Ethernet network
interface card (NIC).
>122g USB adapter
Internet connection details
You need the following connection details from your Internet Service Provider (ISP):
>Your ISP’s method for connecting to the Internet (for example PPPoE)
>The VPI/VCI (for example 8/35)
>Your user name and password to connect to the Internet
You must have received this information when you subscribed to DSL at your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
You will be prompted for this information at a given step in the installation procedure.
!Public telephone lines carry voltages that can cause electric shock. Only try to set up splitter/filters
that have been designed to be installed by unqualified personnel. For further assistance, contact
your Internet Service Provider.
