3 Connecting your device
This chapter provides basic instructions for connecting the device to a computer or LAN and
to the Internet.
In addition to configuring the device, you need to configure the Internet properties of your
computer(s). For more details, see the following sections in Appendix A:
Configuring Ethernet PCs section

This chapter assumes that you have already established a DSL service with your Internet
service provider (ISP). These instructions provide a basic configuration that should be
compatible with your home or small office network setup. Refer to the subsequent chapters
for additional configuration instructions.
Connecting the Hardware
This section describes how to connect the device to the power outlet and your computer(s)
or network.
WARNING
Before you begin, turn the power off for all devices. These include
your computer(s), your LAN hub/switch (if applicable), and the device.
The diagram below illustrates the hardware connections. The layout of the ports on your
device may vary from the layout shown. Refer to the steps that follow for specific
instructions.
