Overview
The P-2612HNU-Fx is an ADSL Integrated Access
Device (IAD) which combines high-speed ADSL
Internet access, a built-in switch, a firewall and high-
speed wireless networking capability. It also comes with
two USB 2.0 ports: one is for sharing files via a USB
compatible storage device and the other allows you to
insert a 3G wireless adapter for a 3G connection. There
are also two phone ports for making calls over the
Internet (Voice over IP or VoIP). The P-2612HNU-Fx
can also function as a print server.
Requirements
• Internet access - account information provided by your
ISP, such as user name, password, and so on.

4
• VoIP account - You need the account information
provided by your VoIP service provider (the company
that lets you make phone calls over the Internet).
• 3G account - if you want to access the Internet through
a 3G network. The P-2612HNU-Fx uses this 3G
connection as your WAN or a backup when the DSL/
Ethernet WAN connection fails.
• Internet Explorer 6.0 and later versions, with
JavaScript enabled, or Mozilla Firefox 3 and later
versions or Safari 2.0 and later versions.

a. DSL: Use a telephone wire to connect this port to
a telephone jack (or the DSL or MODEM jack on a
splitter, if you have one).
b. WAN: If you have a DSL router or modem already
in your network or you want to use a cable
modem, push the DSL/WAN switch to the WAN
side and use an Ethernet cable to connect this
port to an Ethernet jack with Internet access.
2. ETHERNET: Use an Ethernet cable to connect a
computer to one of these ports for initial
configuration and/or Internet access.
3. USB 2.0: There are two USB ports on your P-
2612HNU-Fx, one is at the back panel and one is
one the side panel. You can do the following:
a. Connect a USB (version 2.0 or lower) memory
stick or a USB hard drive for file sharing. The P-
2612HNU-Fx automatically detects the USB
device. Alternatively, use a USB cable (not
provided) to connect a USB (version 2.0 or lower)
printer to this port.
