Windows Installation

Step 1. Connect Microfilters (If Necessary)

If there are no microfilters included in your package and your ISP did not provide

any, skip to Step 2 of these installation instructions.

If microfilters are required, install one on each telephone device (telephones,

answering machines, and fax machines) that shares the same phone line as the

ADSL signal.

A microfilter is a small device used to lessen the amount of interference between

ADSL signals and telephone signals. Microfilters only need to be used if the

ADSL modem and a telephone device are sharing the same phone line. If

microfilters are not used, you may experience background noise on your

telephone while data is being transmitted. Data transmissions may experience

interruption by telephone calls if a microfilter is not used.

Connect Microfilters to Telephone Devices

To install the microfilter, plug the phone into the microfilter, and then plug the

microfilter into the telephone wall jack. Do not install a microfilter on the cable

that connects your modem to the telephone jack unless your microfilter has a

connection for both the telephone and the ADSL device.

Step 2. Install the ADSL USB/Ethernet Modem

To install the U.S. Robotics SureConnect ADSL USB/Ethernet Modem, insert the

Installation CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of your computer. If the installation

does not start automatically, go to your desktop and double-click My Computer,

double-click the drive letter associated with your CD-ROM drive, and then

double-click Setup.

• Select the connection type (USB or Ethernet) you will be utilizing to

connect the modem to your computer; click Next. If you are running

Windows 95 or NT 4.0 you will not have the option to select. In those

operating systems you must connect via Ethernet.

• You will then be prompted to select a location to install the files. If

you would like to change the default location, click Browse to select a

new folder. If you accept the default location, click Next.

• A qualification test will run to verify that your system meets the mini-

mum requirements for installation. The Results screen will display

those items in your configuration that passed with a green flag and

the ones that failed with a red flag. If your system passed the qualifi-

cation, click Next and the necessary files will be copied to your sys-

tem.

If you are notified that your system has failed the qualification test, click the

View Report button to identify which component(s) failed. Once you have

identified which component(s) failed, refer to the “Troubleshooting” section of

this Quick Installation Guide for further instructions.

For USB Users Only: The necessary files will be copied to your system. Select

your Internet Service Provider (ISP) from the list and click Next.

Step 3. Connect the Cables

Connect the Power Adapter

Be sure to only use the included power supply.

Connect the power adapter cord to the “10VDC”

jack at the rear of the modem. Connect the

power adapter to a standard wall outlet. Click

Next.

Connect the Telephone Cable

Connect one end of the included telephone cable to

the telephone port on the back of your modem

labeled “ADSL” and connect the other end into the

telephone jack. Click Next.

Windows 95

Some Windows 95 users may require a necessary Windows component (Win-

sock 2) to be installed at this time. Click Next to launch the installation of this

component, and follow the on-screen instructions. Once the installation is com-

plete, you will need to restart the U.S. Robotics
