3 Quick Installation
This Quick Installation describes how to connect the ZXDSL 831 device to your computer, LAN and the Internet. This Quick Installation assumes you have subscribed to an ISP for ADSL service and only covers the basic configurations to be applied to residential or corporate networks.

3.1 Hardware Connection

Recommendation: It is recommended to follow the first example in actual connection! Note: In the circumstance where the first connection example is not applicable and you choose to use the second example, you should install a MicroFilter on the telephone line (a splitter can never be used to replace the MicroFilter). Special attention: Installing a telephone directly before the splitter will lead to a failure to connect to the CO side device and the Internet or slow connection speed. If you need to connect a telephone to the telephone line before the splitter, a microfilter is required. (Generally, you can connect only one MicroFilter before the splitter for reducing noise.) 1. Shown as the two examples below, use a Telephone line to connect the DSL port of ZXDSL 831 to the MODEM port of the splitter, and connect the telephone line to the PHONE port of the splitter. Then connect the wall phone jack with the LINE port of the splitter. The splitter comes with three connectors as below: LINE: Connects to a wall phone jack (RJ-11 jack) MODEM: Connects to the DSL jack of ZXDSL 831 PHONE: Connects to a telephone set 2. Use a straight-through Ethernet cable to connect the LAN port of ZXDSL 831 to your LAN or a PC with network card installed. Note: Use a cross-over Ethernet cable if the devices LAN port is to connect to a non-UpLink port of a hub/switch. 3. Connect the power cord to the PWR connector on ZXDSL 831, then plug in the

LED does not Troubleshooting Suggestion Verify that you are using the AC adapter provided with the device and that it is securely connected to the ZXDSL 831 and a wall socket/power strip. Make sure to use a standard telephone line (provided with the device). And verify that you had correctly connected the device act as the description of the chapter 3. Wait 30 seconds to allow ZXDSL 831 to negotiate a connection with your ADSL service provider. DSL LED is in a slowlyblinking attached. and fast-blinking cycle after phone line is This indicates your ZXDSL 831 cannot establish an ADSL connection to the CO. Verify you have installed ZXDSL 831 as the installation examples (refer to the connection example figures). It is recommended to use the first example. If the second one is implemented, make sure you have properly installed the MicroFilter. 10M/100M ( LAN) LED does not illuminate after Ethernet cable is attached. PC cannot access the Internet Verify that the Ethernet cable is securely connected to your hub/PC and to ZXDSL 831. Make sure the PC/hub is turned on. Make sure you are using a correct cable . Use the ping utility to check whether your PC can communicate with the devices LAN IP address (by default 192.168.1.1). If it cannot, check the Ethernet cabling, and check the LED status. If you statically assigned a private IP address to the computer, (not a registered public address), verify the following: Check that the gateway IP address on the computer is yourvaild IP address. If it is not, correct the address or configure the PC to receive IP information automatically. Verify with your ADSL service provider that the DNS server specified for the PC is valid. Correct the address or configure the PC to receive this information automatically. If a NAT rule has been defined on device to translate the private address to your public IP address, make sure the IP address specified on your PC meets the IP range specified in the NAT rule. -13-
