Step 1. Make sure that you have all the necessary cables for the modem. In the modem packaging you should have a phone cable, Ethernet cable*, and power cable for the modem.
*The cable that comes with this kit is a straight through cable. If you are connecting this modem directly to your PC you must flip the switch on the back of the modem from MDI to MDI-X.
Step 2. Connect the telephone cable from the wall jack to the back of the Pairgain 500L modem (this jack will be labeled ADSL.)
Step 3. Connect the Ethernet cable from the back of the Pairgain 500L modem to the Ethernet card on the PC.
Step 4. Connect the power cable to the DSL modem and plug it in. After a few minutes the SYNC and MAR lights under the ADSL section on the front of the modem should go to a constant green color. This means that the DSL line is working properly. If they do not come up green make sure all cables are plugged in securely and the modem is not plugged into a micro-filter.
Step 5. Setup the PC to make sure it is ready for the Pairgain 500L modem.
