Before You Begin; Let's Get Started - Motorola MD1600 Quick Start Manual

Before you begin

If you are replacing another DSL modem, you should write
down its Username and Password. You can sometimes get
these from the documentation or labels of the DSL modem
you're replacing. You can also log into that modem to check for
a Username and Password; and if you find them, write them
down. Note that these are usually different from the Username
and Password used for email or for your modem's configuration
manager.
If you received your MD1600 from your service provider, please
follow the instructions they provided. Otherwise continue
directly below.

Let's get started

1. First connect the supplied power cube between the
MD1600's power jack and a working electrical outlet. The
MD1600 should power up and the power light on the front
of the unit should turn on amber as the modem initializes.
When the MD1600 is ready to use, the power light should
turn green. If the light does not turn on when you supply
power, press the ON/OFF button on the side of the MD1600.
2. Next connect the supplied phone cord between the
MD1600's DSL jack and a phone jack that provides your DSL
service. If you want to use a phone or other device with the
same phone jack, please use the supplied filter/splitter as
pictured on the next page.
3. If your DSL modem shares the phone line with telephones,
answering machines, or other devices, they can interfere
with the DSL modem if they're used at the same time. You
can prevent interference by using a DSL filter with each
device. We have provided one filter/splitter, but you may
need more filters. If you are using one or more DSL filters,
please see Installing a DSL Filter later in this manual.
