Cabling

One of the most common causes of problems is bad cabling or SHDSL line(s). Make sure that
all connected devices are turned on. On the front of the product is a bank of LEDs. Verify that
the LAN Link and SHDSL line LEDs are lit. If they are not, verify that you are using the proper
cables.
Ensure that all other devices connected to the same telephone line as your Billion router (e.g.
telephones, fax machines, analogue modems) have a line filter connected between them and
the wall socket (unless you are using a Central Splitter or Central Filter installed by a qualified
and licensed electrician), and ensure that all line filters are correctly installed and the right way
around. Missing line filters or line filters installed the wrong way around can cause problems
with your SHDSL connection, including causing frequent disconnections.
