ADSL Microfilter with Built-In Splitter

Use an ADSL microfilter with built-in splitter when there is a single wall outlet which must

provide connectivity for both the ADSL modem router and telephone equipment.

Computers Set to DHCP

For the initial connection to your firewall, your computer has to be set to automatically get its

TCP/IP configuration from the firewall via DHCP. This is usually the case. The NETGEAR Smart

Wizard CD automatically takes care of this requirement. For manual setup, refer to the

documentation that came with your computer.

Manually Setting Up Your ADSL Modem Router

There are four steps to setting up your ADSL modem router:

1. Install ADSL filters on the phone lines.

2. Connect the firewall to the ADSL line.

3. Log in to the firewall.

4. Connect to the Internet.

Follow the steps below to connect your firewall to your network. Before you begin, locate the

ADSL configuration information from your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

1. Connect the ADSL filter.
