LINK 

OFF means the loop is inactive; ON means the loop has been activated and has 
entered the data mode; blinking means the loop is being activated. 

ACT 

OFF means no data is being transmitted or received on the interface and blinking 
means data is being transmitted and/or received. 

 

The interface cables that the Router 1-Port ADSL Over POTS MIM uses are regular 
telephone cables. 

 

  Note: 

The standard equipping package of the Router 1-Port ADSL Over POTS MIM includes the regular 
telephone cable(s). You can separately order an external splitter as needed. 

 

In G. Lite mode, no splitter is needed. You can directly connect the router to the PSTN 
using a telephone cable, and simply connect the phone-set in parallel with the router at 
the cable distribution box. 

Full rate mode requires a splitter. Follow these steps to connect the cables: 

Step 1: Plug one end of a telephone cable into the ADSL port on the router, and the 
other end into the internal ADSL port on the splitter. 

Step 2: Connect the telephone to the phone port on the splitter with another telephone 
cable. 

Step 3: Connect the external ADSL port on the splitter to the PSTN with a third 
telephone cable.
