| 1. Wait for ADSL line set-up: | 
Order your ADSL connection from Easynet.
Purchase suitable modem/firewall/router/LAN switch/LAN cables/line
filters etc. either from Easynet or from a computer store.
Wait for confirmation from Easynet that the ADSL line is activated.
|
 |
|
| 2. Plug in the hardware: |
Connect the modem to the phone line (no line filter), to the Ethernet
port on one computer (via supplied Ethernet cable), and to mains power
via its power-pack. Turn
on the modem, then after several seconds, turn on the computer. The
power LED should be on and the LAN LED should come on. The
important light is the ADSL light. Initially it should flash, then after
a while it should stay on. This indicated the modem has recognised the
ADSL hardware at the telephone exchange (DSLAM) and has synchronised
with it (Line-sync, or Carrier-lock) What it tells you is that your
set-up at the exchange was done correctly, and your phone line is suitable for
broadband. At this point you can breath a sigh of relief |
|
|
| 6. Add phone filters: |
For every phone, fax, answering machine, around the house using the same
phone line, but not necessarily the same phone wall plug, add in an ADSL
line filter. (With normal filters, up to three maximum) This goes in the
lead from wall to phone. In the
phone lead to the ADSL modem do not put a filter Verify all
phones, faxes etc still work |
