Physical Installation - Plug in the power supply and connect the power cable to the DSL router.
- The phone cord included with your router is your ADSL cable, this is the cable that should be used to connect your router to the phone jack. Plug one end into the LINE port on the back of the router and the other end directly into your phone jack on the wall. Run the line directly from the wall to the router, the line must not be plugged into anything other than the router and the wall. Splitters, answering machines, surge protectors, fax machines, etc., will interfere with the operation of your DSL line.
The Best Data DSL800EU has two ports for connecting your computer, an Ethernet or LAN port, and a USB port. The two ports should not be used at the same time on the same computer. Both ports can be used simultaneously if they are connected to two different computers. If your computer has an Ethernet adapter, you should use that connection. If you are using a laptop computer or a computer that does not have an Ethernet port, then you should use the USB connection. Connecting via the USB port requires Windows 98SE or later. Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT 4.0 or earlier require connecting via the Ethernet connection. If you are unsure of what type of connection you have or should use, call our office at 425.818.6500 or 888.662.5274 for assistance.
