Connecting The Modem - D-Link DSL-302G User Manual

Connecting the Modem

In this chapter you will learn about the various physical connections you will need to make in order to use the
Modem.
When selecting the location for the Modem, allow ample room to access the connections on the rear panel.
Allow some space above the Modem for ventilation to avoid problems with overheating. For convenience, try to
place the Modem near your computer so you can monitor the LED indicators.
Note
Connecting the ADSL Line
Use the twisted-pair ADSL cable (standard telephone cable) included with the Modem to connect it to your
telephone line. Simply plug one end of the cable into the ADSL port (RJ-11 receptacle) on the rear panel of the
Modem and insert the other end into the wall jack.
Computer to Modem Connection
You can connect the Modem directly to a 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet adapter card (NIC) installed on a PC using
the Ethernet cable provided as shown in this diagram.
