Ports and buttons (Back panel)

POWER is where you connect the power supply.
RESET Button: The RESET button is used to reset the modem to factory default settings. Do not use
the RESET button unless advised to by your service representative.
LAN (Local Area Network) port: This is used to connect to Ethernet network devices, such as a PC,
hub, switch, or router.
USB (Universal Serial Bus port): Connects to a PC's serial port. The modem supports Windows-based
PCs using an RNDIS driver (included on the CD).
PHONE port: This allows a phone to directly connect to the modem. You do not need to add splitter to
the phone you connect here, since the modem has an internal splitter.
LINE port: This is the DSL interface which connects directly to your phone line.
