You can solve many installation issues by resetting all of your
equipment:
1. First, power down in this order:
a.
b.
c.
d.
NOTE: Leave the modem unplugged for at least 60 seconds.

Confirm that all cables are snapped firmly into place.
2. Turn the devices on one at a time in this order:
a.
b.
c.
d.
At this point, you should have both a dial tone and
