Easynet Set-up

1. Wait for ADSL line set-up:   Order your ADSL connection from Easynet.
  Purchase suitable modem/firewall/router/LAN switch/LAN cables/line filters etc.   either from Easynet or from a computer store.
  Wait for confirmation from Easynet that the ADSL line is activated.
2. Plug in the hardware:   Connect the modem to the phone line (no line filter), to the Ethernet port on one computer (via supplied Ethernet cable), and to mains power via its power-pack. (If the computer does not have an Ethernet port use USB but do not connect it to the modem yet. NetComm's modem instructions will advise when to connect it.
  Follow NetComm installation guide
3. Add phone filters: For every phone, fax, answering machine, around the house using the same phone line, but not necessarily the same phone wall plug, add in an ADSL line filter. (With normal filters, up to three maximum) This goes in the lead from wall to phone.
In the phone lead to the ADSL modem do not put a filter
Verify all phones, faxes etc still work
