1. Attach the antennas and point them up.
2. Do one of the following to connect to the Internet.
a. DSL 1,2: Use a telephone cable to connect your SBG3500-N’s DSL1 port
to a telephone jack (or the DSL or modem jack on a splitter if you have
one).
If the DSLAM at your ISP supports DSL bonding function, you can
connect DSL1 and DSL2 to two seperate telephone jacks. This provides
increased throughput at longer distances.
b. SFP: If fiber access is available, insert a fiber optic SFP module and
connect the fiber optic cable for Internet access. (See Transceiver
Installation and Removal on page 6for more information on SFP module.)
c. GbE: If you already have a broadband router or modem, use an Ethernet
cable to connect the GbE port to it for Internet access.
You can also have DSL with a fiber (SFP) connection or DSL with a
broadband (GbE) connection, depending on the service your ISP supports.
Fiber (SFP) and broadband (GbE) connections cannot be used at the
same time.
3. ETHERNET LAN: Use an Ethernet cable to connect a computer to an
Ethernet port for initial configuration and/or Internet access.
4. USB: Do one of the following USB connections:
a. Connect a USB (version 2.0 or lower) memory stick or a USB hard drive
for file sharing. The SBG3500-N automatically detects the USB device.
b. Insert a 3G adapter to access the Internet wirelessly via a 3G network.
5. 12V DC: Use the provided power adaptor to connect the 12V DC socket at
the SBG3500-N’s rear panel to an appropriate power source. Make sure the
power at the outlet is on. After connecting the power adaptor, look at the
lights on the front panel.
• The PWR light blinks while your SBG3500-N starts up and then stays on
once it is ready.

• The DSL1,2lights are green when your SBG3500-N has an ADSL
connection. They are orange when you have a VDSL connection. If you
are not using DSL bonding function, only DSL1 light will be on.
• The INET light turns on when the gateway is able to access the Internet
and will blink when your SBG3500-N is sending or receiving data.
• The USB light turns on when your SBG3500-N detects a connected USB
device and blinks when there is traffic.
• The SFP light turns on after your SBG3500-N has a fiber connection and
blinks when there is traffic.
• The WLAN light flashes green when WLAN is activated and orange while
WPS is in process. It stays on green when the wireless LAN is ready and
blinks when there is traffic.
• The green light of an ETHERNET LAN port is on if the there is a 1G LAN
connection. The yellow light is on if there is a 10/100M LAN connection.
The light blinks when there is LAN traffic.
• The green light of the GbE port is on if the there is a 1G WAN connection.
The yellow light is on if there is a 10/100M WAN connection. The light
blinks when there is WAN traffic.
If the lights do not come on, check your connections and inspect your cables for
damage. If the lights are still off, contact technical support.

Set Up a Wireless Network
You can set up a wireless network manually:
The wireless LAN on your SBG3500-N is enabled by default. To add a wireless
client to the network, use the settings found on the bottom panel of your
SBG3500-N, which will look similar to the following example:
Configure wireless devices that you want to connect to the wireless network to
use the same wireless settings as the SBG3500-N.
The default wireless settings vary for each SBG3500-N. Refer to the
bottom panel of your device and use the provided information.
The Web Configurator
The Web Configurator is a web browser tool that allows you to configure the
SBG3500-N. Your computer and the SBG3500-N need to be in the same IP
address range to use this tool.
1. Open your browser and enter http://192.168.1.1 (the SBG3500-N’s default
IP address) as the address.
