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 as shown.

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 DSL-300+ modem look like this:

To connect your modem

  • Connect the Ethernet cable between your Ethernet port on your PC and the modem's Ethernet port.
  • Connect the 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 power pack cable into the modem power socket labelled "7.5V 1A" on the right hand side of your modem and plug the power pack into a power point.

Starting the modem

  • Connect power to the modem.
  • The Power LED will light up green. (See Quick Diagnostics)
  • The ADSL LED will blink 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 Connecting the Cables)
  • Contact Optus DSL Broadband customer support.

You are now ready to configure your PC settings.
