Part 1 — Connecting the Hardware |
| In Part 1, you connect the device to the phone jack, the power outlet, and your computer or network. |
 |
Before you begin, turn the power off for all devices. These include your computer(s), your LAN hub/switch (if applicable), and the AR1021. |

Figure 1 illustrates the hardware connections. The layout of the ports on your device may vary from the layout shown. Refer to the steps that follow for specific instructions.
Figure 1. Overview of Hardware Connections |
Step 1. Connect the ADSL cable and optional telephone.
|
Connect one end of the provided phone cable to the port labeled ADSL on the rear panel of the device. Connect the other end to your wall phone jack.
You can attach a telephone line to the device. This is helpful when the ADSL line uses the only convenient wall phone jack. If desired, connect the telephone cable to the port labeled PHONE.
|
| |
Although you use the same type of cable, The ADSL and PHONE ports are not interchangeable. Do not route the ADSL connection through the PHONE port.
|
Step 2. Connect the Ethernet cable.
|
If you are connecting a LAN to the AR1021 ADSL/Ethernet Modem, attach one end of a provided Ethernet cable to a regular hub port and the other to the Ethernet port on the AR1021.
If you are using the AR1021 with a single computer and no hub, you must use a “crossover” Ethernet cable to attach the PC directly to the device. The crossover cable is wired differently than the cable you would use to connect to a hub. When you compare the colored wires on each end of a straight-through cable, they will be in the same sequence; on crossover cables, they will not. Contact your ISP for assistance.
|
Step 3. Attach the power connector.
|
|
Connect the AC power adapter to the PWR connector on the back of the device and plug in the adapter to a wall outlet or power strip.
|
Step 4. Turn on the AR1021 and power up your systems.
|
|
Turn on and boot up your computer(s) and any LAN devices such as hubs or switches.
