Setting Up Your DSL Modem

Installing Phone Filters

You should install the included phone line filters on every device (phone, fax machine, satellite & DVR receiver, etc) that is connected to the same line as your new DSL service.

Installing Your DSL Modem

1. Make sure both your computer and DSL modem are turned off.
2. Plug one end of your phone cable into your wall jack. Plug the other end into the DSL modem's ADSL port. Make sure to use a line splitter if you intend to plug a telephone into the same wall jack.
3. Plug one end of your Ethernet cable into the LAN port on the back of the modem. Plug the other end into the Ethernet port on your computer.
4. Put the power button on the modem in the OFF position.
5. Connect the power adapter to the power port, and plug the opposite end into a wall outlet or other AC source.
6. Press the power button so it's in the ON position. The Power LED indicator on the front of the modem should turn green.
7. Turn your computer on.
8. Follow the enclosed instructions to configure your computer to use LocalNet DSL. Please call Technical Support at 1-888-488-7265 if you need assistance.

The following instructions will help you connect to the Internet for the first time using your new LocalNet DSL service.

Please note: These instructions apply to customers who are connecting their computers directly to the DSL modem. If you are using a router or server, you will be responsible for configuring that equipment.
