How do I connect my router?
1. Identify connection
There are two possible cable options when your router is delivered.
Left: DSL cable (TAE-RJ45)
Right: Y-cable (2*RJ45-1*RJ45) with gray DSL adapter (RJ45-TAE)
External link: Further information on these cables (pin assignment etc.)
If both cables are included, please use the DSL cable (TAE-RJ45).
Important:
- Please do not use a splitter under any circumstances.
- Please do not use a black adapter (RJ45-TAE) as it has the wrong polarity.
1.1. connection to the telephone network with DSL cable
- Connect the RJ45 plug of the DSL cable to the socket on the router labeled DSL (sometimes also DSL/TEL).
- Insert the TAE plug directly into the middle slot of the telephone socket (TAE F).
1.2. connection to the telephone network with Y-cable and DSL adapter
- Connect the long end of the DSL cable to the socket on the router labeled DSL (sometimes also DSL/TEL).
- Connect the shorter gray end of the cable to the DSL adapter.
- Plug the DSL adapter into the middle slot of your telephone socket labeled "F".
2. Putting the router into operation and setting it up
- Connect your router to the power supply.
- Connect your computer to the router via LAN or WLAN.
- Connect your telephones to the router via the appropriate connections.
