If you have ordered the installation option from the Telco, then you can skip this section and move to " Configuring Linux" . The following procedures are meant to illustrate the wiring process. Please note that your procedures may be different at your location. Make sure you follow any warnings or safety instructions provided, and that you are familiar with Telco wiring procedures.
The first step will be to wire up the connections from your Telco. Identify the line on which service will be installed, and the locations of your splitter and DSL jacks.
If you have the splitterless design, you can skip this part.
The splitter will consist of two parts, the splitter and a small outdoor housing, called the Network Interface Device. Mount the splitter and NID housing per the Telcos instructions at the Subscriber Network Interface (SNI) point, usually the side of your house where the phone line is located. The phone company will need to access the splitter for maintenance, so its advisable to locate it on the outside where they can get at it. Connect the incoming 2W Telco line to the " LINE"side of the splitter. Then wire the inside pair for your telephone to the "VOICE" , and your inside wire pair for the ANT to "DATA".
Checkstep At this point, you should be able to pull dial tone off the voice side of the splitter. If this doesn't work, then either you've wired it wrong, or the ADSL service is not yet connected on the Telco side.
Wire up the DSL jack (RJ11) at your computer location (connected to the DATA side of the splitter). The specifics differ greatly for each situation, but basically you will have a 2 wire pair that you will connect to the DSL jack. Make sure you read the directions, as the DSL-RJ11 wiring is different for phones and ADSL jacks. In my case, you wire the phone jack on the red/green pair (the two inside prongs of the RJ11 jack) and the ADSL jack is wired on the yellow/black pair (the two outside prongs of the RJ11 jack).
Connect up the ANT's power cord, and connect the phone line (category 3 cable) between the DSL jack and the ANT. This cable is usually provided.
Checkstep At this point, verify the ANT syncs up to the Telco signal. Most ANTs have an green LED that lights up when the signal is good. If it doesn't sync, then check your wiring, or make sure that the Telco signal is being sent (do this by calling your Telco and verifying they have activated the service. Note that having dial tone on the line does NOT confirm the presence of the ADSL data signal.)
If you have completed the previous steps, you are now ready to move on to connecting your Linux System.
