Filter Installation Tips l DO NOT install a filter on your DSL modem or on any broadband devices. l Check the orientation of each filter 1. PHONE jack towards the telephone device. 2. LINE connection towards the wall jack. l Try to limit the number of filters in your home to the fewest practical. Do this by 1. Using one filter to isolate several devices. 2. Not installing filters on unused phone jacks. l Do not use more than one filter for each telephone device or group of devices. l Plug the filter directly into the wall jack using only the attached short cord. If this cannot be done, then use a twisted-pair cable like the data cable for the modem (i.e., NOT a flat phone cord) to connect the filter to the wall jack.

problems are the network cables themselves. This can be easily checked. Verify that the "Link" LEDs under both the ADSL and Ethernet headings on the front of your DSL-500/CZ are glowing a steady green. If they are not lit, try using a different cable. You may also need to use a different kind of cable. Included with this modem is an Ethernet cross over cable and a straight through phone line. If you are connecting the DSL-500/CZ to an Ethernet switch or hub you will need to purchase an Ethernet straight through cable to make the con- nection. For the phoneline, we have included a small crossover box that will convert your cable. This way if your DSL signal is coming from a dif- ferent set of phone wires in your wall this module will check the second set of wires. If you still can't get a steady ADSL link light call your Internet Service Provider or Phone Company for instructions as you may have an in the wall wiring problem. Most other problems result from improper TCP/IP settings. Run through the previous instructions again to verify that your product was set up cor- rectly. *If you do not connect within five minutes, you may need to connect manu- ally. Go back to Step 6 in this guide to “login to the web-based manage- ment module.” Under PPPoA configuration (on the screen as shown in Step 7), click on “Connect” at the bottom of the window.
