Broadband Router with 2 Phone Ports Chapter 4: Connecting the Router Overview This chapter includes two sets of instructions. If the Broadband Router with 2 Phone Ports will be the only router in your network, follow the instructions in "Connecting the Router to Your Broadband Modem." If you already have a router in your network and want to add the Broadband Router with 2 Phone Ports, follow the instructions in "Connecting One Router to Another." Connecting the Router to Your Broadband Modem 1. Make sure that all of your hardware is powered off, including the Router, PCs, and broadband modem. 2. Connect your broadband modem's Ethernet cable to the Router's Internet port. 3. Plug a standard telephone into the Router's Phone1 port. IMPORTANT: Do not connect the Phone port to a telephone wall jack. Make sure you only connect a telephone or fax machine to the Phone port. Otherwise, the Router or the telephone wiring in your home or office may be damaged. NOTE: Make sure your telephone is set to its tone setting (not pulse). 4. Connect one end of an Ethernet network cable to one of the numbered ports on the back of the Router. Connect the other end to an Ethernet port on a network device, e.g., a PC, print server, or switch. Repeat this step to connect more PCs or other network devices to the Router. 5. Power on the broadband modem. 6. Connect the included power adapter to the Router's Power port, and then plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet. The Power LED on the front panel will light up as soon as the Router powers on. 7. Power on your PC(s). Proceed to "Chapter 5: Configuring the Router."
