Installation With a Standard Modem
1 Shut down your computer properly. Follow the instructions provided with the computer.
2 Unplug your cable or DSL modem power cord or adapter.
3 Disconnect any cables connecting your computer to the modem. Please leave your modem connected to
the cable or phone line that provides your Internet connection.
4 Connect one end of the blue Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on your modem.
5 Connect the other end of the blue Ethernet cable to the blue Ethernet port labeled Internet on the rear panel
of your voice gateway.
6 Connect one end of the yellow Ethernet cable to the Ethernet 1 port on your voice gateway.
7 Connect the other end of the yellow Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on your computer.
Hint: Your modem should remain off for about 10 minutes to “clear its memory” so it can recognize the
VT2442 when you turn it back on. You can continue with the installation during this time.
Note: If your high-speed Internet connection was through USB and your computer does not have an
Ethernet adapter, see “Troubleshooting” on page 65 for information.
Optionally, you can connect up to three more computers directly to the other VT2442 Ethernet ports
(2, 3, or 4) using Ethernet cables. You can purchase additional Ethernet cables from any electronics
or computer retailer.
