Chapter 1 Safety Guidance
1.1 Safety Check
Before installing the ZXHN H108L ADSL equipment, you must check the
following items.
1 Electric safety
zEnsure that there are no inflammable, conductive or moist objects around.
Check whether the cables are aged and whether other electrical appliances
are placed stably.
2 Equipment position
zBecause the running electric devices easily generate heat, please ensure
that these devices are positioned in a well ventilated environment.
zThe devices should be placed on a stable and flat plane.
zNever expose the equipment to direct sunshine, and never place it on a PC
case.
zKeep the equipment away from heat and water.
zCheck whether power supply is available. The input voltage fluctuation
range must be less than 10%. The power plug should not share one socket
with a hair drier, iron or refrigerator.
1.2 Safety Cautions
zRead the user manual carefully before using the equipment.
zNote all Cautions in the user manual and product guide.
zNever use an accessory unbelonging to the equipment without prior
consent of the manufacture, because it may cause fire or product damage.
zUse the power adapter accompanied in the package.
zRather than directly connecting phones to the ADSL line, led them out
from the phone interface of the splitter.
zNever place any objects on the equipment.
zKeep the equipment dry, ventilated and rainproof, and clean.
zUnplug the power and all connection cables in case of thunderstorms, to
protect the equipment against lightning.
zClean the equipment using a soft and dry cloth rather than liquid or
atomizers. Power off the equipment before cleansing it.

ZXHN H108L User Manua l

zPower off the idle equipment.
zKeep the ventilation hole clean and prevent any objects from dropping
into the equipment through it. Otherwise, it may cause short circuit and
further cause equipment damage and fire. Do not spray liquid on the
surface of the equipment.
zDo not open the case of the equipment, especially during equipment
power-on.
zBefore plugging/unplugging the power, make sure that the power is off,
thus avoiding surge.
zBe careful when unplugging the power, because the transformer may be
very hot.
zKeep the equipment and all its parts and accessories out of children’s
reach.
Note:
Please read the above safety guidance carefully before equipment use. Users
should assume responsibilities for any accidents due to incompliance with the
above instructions.

3.2 Hardware Connection
Introduction:
1 Use one RJ11 cable（match the ZXHN H108L package）to connect the LINE
port of the splitter with the RJ-11 port (the phone jack) on the wall.
2 Use another RJ11 cable（match the ZXHN H108L package）to connect the
MODEM (or ADSL) port of the splitter with the LINE port of the Gateway.
3 Use the third RJ11 cable（additional, if customers also want to use
telephone at the same time）to connect the telephone set with the PHONE (or
TEL) port of the splitter.
4 Connect Ethernet port of the Gateway with 10/100BASE-T port of the
computer using the network cable that comes with the modem.
5 Plug in the power cord, and turn on the power.

ZXHN H108L User Manua l
10
If you don’t want Internet services and telephone voice services simultaneously,
please just connect the LINE port of the Gateway with the RJ-11 port (the
phone jack) on the wall using a telephone cord. In this case, the splitter is not
necessary.
Connection procedures
1 Power off the equipment before all the other devices are connected.
2 Connect the network cables: Insert the RJ-45 Ethernet cable connector into
the Ethernet interface of the ZXHN H108L, and connect its other terminal to
the Ethernet adapter of the customer computers or ports of other network
devices.
3 Connect the splitter
The splitter has three interfaces, which are described as follows:
zLINE: Connect the user telephone cable (RJ11 interface).
zMODEM (or ADSL): Connect the DSL interface of the ZXHN H108L.
zPHONE (or TEL): Connect the phone sets.
The installation process is as follows: Connect the LINE interface of the ZXHN
H108L to the MODEM(or ADSL) interface of the splitter using the RJ-11
telephone cable, connect the phone set lines to the PHONE(or TEL) interface
of the splitter, and then connect the user telephone cable port to the LINE
interface of the splitter.
4 Connect the power
Connect one terminal of the power adapter to the POWER interface of the
ZXHN H108L, and the other terminal to the socket on the wall, and then switch
on the power of the ZXHN H108L equipment.
Checking all connection cables
Check all connection cables following the below procedure.
1 Check the ADSL cable connection

ZXHNH108LUserManual
11
If the DSL LED is on upon power-on of the ZXHN H108L, it indicates that the
ADSL line is correctly connected (Generally it takes one to two minutes to
perform the ADSL connection).
2 Check the computer connection
If both the LINK LED on the computer adapter and the Ethernet LED of the
ZXHN H108L turn green, it indicates that the computer and the ZXHN H108L
equipment are correctly connected.
3 Check the telephone cable connection
The telephone cable is correctly connected if the received telephone signals are
normal and free of noise. And the telephone will not be affected no matter
whether the ZXHN H108L is powered on or off.

Appendix A FAQs
1 All indicators are off after the ZXHN H108L equipment is
powered on.
First make sure that you have inserted the power adapter of the ZXHN
H108L into a working power socket and that the ZXHN H108L has
been powered on (the switch button is pressed down). If the indicators
are still off after confirmation of the above items, the hardware is
damaged probably. You may contact local operators for maintenance.
Never dismantle the equipment by yourself.
2Will ADSL affect the telephone conversation quality? Will making
phone calls cause a slow online rate?
ADSL separates voices from data through the frequency division
multiplexing technology. Therefore, voices and data run in different
paths without mutual interference. Neither the access rate nor
conversation quality will fall even if you are in a call and on line
simultaneously.
3 Sometimes, the ADSL users cannot gain access to the Internet
normally.
First check whether the ZXHN H108L is in the normal state (Check
the indicators with this user manual). If yes, the computer or
application network may be faulty, which is unrelated with ADSL. If
the ADSL MODEM is abnormal, check the status of indicators one by
one to remove the fault.
You are suggested to first make sure the following items before
seeking help from operators: 1. The ADSL telephone cable connectors
are proper; 2. The ADSL is away from the power cable and
large-power electronic devices; 3. No telephone extensions and fax
machines are installed between the ADSL incoming line and splitter; 4.
The splitter has been correctly installed; 5. The ADSL MODEM is of
good heat dissipation.
4 Password verification failure.

ZXHNH108LUserManual
13
MODEM synchronization and connection are normal. However,
sometimes the password fails to be verified.
1. Note that the account and password are case sensitive and some
accounts contain a domain name.
2. Virtual dialup software. It is possible that sometimes the virtual
dialup software is faulty, or conflict with other software in the
operating system. At this time, you are suggested to reinstall the dialup
software or replace it with other software.
3. Network adapter drive program problem.
4. In arrears of fees. Pay the fee timely in this case.
5What are reasons for ADSL synchronization failure (also referred
to link down or link establishment failure)?
If the ADSL suddenly fails to be synchronized (link down) during
application, usually the DSL indicator of the MODEM will not be
solid on. You are suggested for checkup in the following sequence:
1. First check the quality of incoming cables and incoming cable
connectors.
2. Install the ADSL Modem correctly based on the user guide, to
minimize the number of taps.
3. Check whether the telephone cables and ADSL are in good contact
or whether the telephone cables are normal.
4. Try to disconnect the splitter and directly connect the ADSL Modem
to the incoming customer cable end to ensure that the problem is not
due to improper installation or incoming customer line quality. If the
ADSL can be synchronized again, it means that installation of the
incoming customer part is improper. Please reinstall it according to the
user guide.
5. If the ADSL still fails to be synchronized after the ADSL Modem
has been connected to the incoming customer cable end, contact the
operators to check whether it is due to external line failure or Modem
failure.
