2. Do one of the following to connect to the Internet.
a. DSL: Use a telephone cable to connect your Device’s DSL port to a
telephone jack (or the DSL or modem jack on a splitter if you have one).
If your ISP supports DSL bonding, you can connect DSL1 and DSL2 to two

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 8for 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 Device 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 Device’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 Device starts up and then stays on once it
is ready.
• The DSL light is green when your Device has an ADSL connection. It is
orange when you have a VDSL connection. The DSL2 light comes on
when using DSL bonding1.
• The INET light turns on when the gateway is able to access the Internet.
• The USB light turns on when your Device detects a connected USB device
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 Series is enabled by default. To add a
wireless client to the network, use the settings found on the bottom panel of
your SBG3500-N Series, 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 Series.
The default wireless settings vary for each SBG3500-N Series. 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
Device. Your computer and the Device need to be in the same IP address range
to use this tool.
