For system monitoring or configuration using the supplied web interface, a
web browser such as Internet Explorer Version 5.5 or later.
POWER is where you connect the power supply.
RESET Button: The RESET button is used to reset the router to the factory
default settings. Do not use the RESET button unless advised to by your
service representative.
LAN 1–4 (Local Area Network) port(s): connect to Ethernet network devices,
such as a PC, hub, switch, or router. Some routers come with a single LAN

device connected, you may need a crossover cable or a straight-through
cable.
PHONE port: This allows a phone to directly connect to the router. You do not
need to add splitter to the phone you connect here, since the router has an
internal splitter.
LINE port: This is the DSL interface which connects directly to your phone line.
