Installation with a Single Computer

1. Unplug the power cord for your Cable/DSL modem. Make sure that you have turned your computer off, and that you DO NOT plug in the Phone Adaptor until instructed to do so.
2. Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the back of your PC and then connect it into the WAN port on the Phone Adaptor.
3. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable we provide into the PC port on the Phone Adaptor. Connect the other end of this Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on the computer.
4. Connect a telephone to the LINE 1 port of the Phone Adaptor using a standard phone line.
5. Power on the DSL modem. Wait about two minutes for it to start up.
6. Plug the power cord into the POWER port on the Phone Adaptor and into an electrical outlet. This turns your Phone Adaptor on. You do not need to unplug it when not in use.
7. Check that the POWER light on the Phone Adaptor is lit. Wait at least five minutes for the Phone Adaptor to start up. There may be updates that need to be downloaded such as new firmware or changes to your features. Do not interrupt the registration process by unplugging the power or lifting the receiver on your phone during the startup process. Interruption of the startup may result in interruption of service.
8. Power up the computer. Your Internet connection should work as it did before you installed the Phone Adaptor.
9. If you have DSL, your DSL provider may require you to enter a username and password for PPPoE setup. Click here to learn how to enable PPPoE on the Phone Adaptor. Not all DSL providers require PPPoE setup. For more information, please contact your DSL provider.
10. Pick up your telephone receiver and listen for a dial tone. If you hear a dial tone, you have finished the installation and can begin making calls. You will need to use 11-digit dialing (i.e. 1-Area Code-555-1234). If you do not get a dial tone, please refer to the Advanced Installation and Troubleshooting section of the Installation Guide.
