D-Link DSL-302G

To install and configure your modem for your Optus DSL Broadband service follow the steps below.

Physical connection

Telephone filters

A telephone filter must be installed on each of the telephony devices that share the same telephone number as your Optus DSL Broadband service. These include:

  • telephones
  • fax machines
  • dial-up modems
  • answering machines
  • some digital pay TV equipment
  • any other similar device

Place a filter on all telephones or similar devices at your premises by unplugging the telephone cord and placing a filter between the phone and the wall socket.

If you have a home monitoring service (Back to Base security or medical alarm) that uses the same phone line as your DSL service, it is your responsibility to arrange for a central filter to be installed in your premises. If you do not do this, you will experience problems with your DSL connection and your monitoring service. If you require further information about central filters please call Optus DSL Broadband Customer Service.

Connecting the cables

The connection sockets at the rear of your D-Link 302g modem look like this:

To connect your modem:

  • Connect the DSL cable between the ADSL port on the modem and the telephone wall socket (you will need a double adaptor if you also use this wall socket for your telephone).
  • Plug the jack from the power adaptor into the modem power socket labelled '9V AC 1A' and plug the adaptor into a power source

Starting the modem:

  • Connect power to the modem
  • The Power LED should light up green.(See Quick Diagnostics)

If your modem is unable to establish an ADSL connection check the following:

  • Ensure all cables are connected correctly (See Connect your modem)
