Step 2: Installing the Hardware

Installing the Hardware is a two-step process, Making the

Connections, and Powering Up.

Making the Connections

1111

The software must be installed before you proceed.

Then, unplug or turn off the power to your PC and
everything connected to your PC.

2222

Plug your phone into the V3’s PHONE jack.

If you have a cordless phone with one or more handsets, plug

the base station into the V3’s PHONE jack.

Note: If RJ-11 phone jacks are not used in your country, you

will need a phone adapter. Plug the adapter into the V3’s

PHONE jack and then plug in your phone.

3333

Connect the V3 to the traditional telephone network.

Plug one end of the V3’s phone cord into the V3’s TELCO

jack and the other end into a telephone jack where you would

normally plug in a standard telephone. If you are using DSL,
this jack should have a DSL phone filter installed on it. Phone

filters block the DSL frequencies so that someone making a

normal phone call won’t hear noise on the line. They also keep

phone conversations from interfering with DSL performance.
If you do not have a DSL phone filter, they are available at

most retail stores that sell consumer electronics.

4444

Connect the V3 to your cable or DSL modem.

Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into your cable or DSL
modem and plug the other end into the WAN port of the V3.

If your cable or DSL modem is already connected to your PC

with an Ethernet cable, leave the cable plugged into the cable

or DSL modem. Then, unplug the other end from the PC and

plug the end you just unplugged into the V3’s WAN port.
