SpeedTouch 530

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 Speedtouch 530 modem look like this:

To connect your modem:

  • Plug the power pack cable into the modem power socket labeled A and plug the power pack into a power point
  • Connect the cable between the DSL 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)

The Line Sync (@) LED will blink orange during initialisation and then remain solid green once an ADSL connection has been established.

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

  • Your modem is powered on and the Power LED is solid green. (See Starting the modem)
  • Ensure all cables are connected correctly (See To connect your modem)
  • Contact Optus DSL Broadband customer support

Factory default settings

To avoid conflicts with any previous configuration the modem must first be restored to factory default settings.

  • Make sure the SpeedTouch is powered on
  • Power off the SpeedTouch by pressing the power button until all LEDs turn off
  • Press the power button once again (shortly)
  • As soon as the Power/System LED is flashing green, press the power button once more (shortly)
  • The Power/System LED stops flashing to become solid green. After six seconds, it starts flashing green again. Press the power button once more (shortly)
  • All LEDs flash green once
  • The SpeedTouch reboots and will come online with factory default settings
