DSL Modem Installation

Use the step-by-step instructions below to configure your hardware for TOAST.net DSL.

Step 1: Attach DSL Filters Attach filters to every device that uses telephone service such as telephones, fax machines, answering machines, alarm systems and/or satellite receivers. Repeat these steps for each device in your house. All jacks used for voice communication need a filter. (Do NOT filter the DSL modem).

• Unplug the telephone or device from the phone jack.
• Plug the DSL filter into phone jack.
• Plug the telephone or device into the open port on the DSL filter.

  

  Optional: Dual Filter If you want to use a single wall jack for DSL traffic and for voice calls, you can use a dual filter to convert one wall jack into two jacks. Plug the DSL modem into the "DSL" port and the telephone device into the "Phone" port.

  Optional: Wall-Mount Filter Remove the phone (by sliding it off the mount.) Install the filter (it slides on like the phone.) Re-seat the phone over the wall-mount as before.

Step 2: Connect DSL Modem

Connect cables to DSL Modem.

• Connect a phone line from an available unfiltered jack to the DSL modem's ADSL phone jack. Remember: (Do NOT filter the DSL modem).
• Connect the DSL modem to your computer's Ethernet jack using a network cable.

Step 3: Configure Software

Uninstall Dialup software

If you previously had dialup software installed on your computer such as dialers or acceleration software, uninstall these applications through your computer's Add/Remove Programs Menu. This can be found in the Control Panel.
