Model F@st™2864 Router User’s Guide Physical Installation 8 Installing Line Filters Because DSL shares your telephone line, you may need to separate the two signals so they do not interfere with each other. A line filter (may be included with some models) prevents DSL traffic from disrupting the voice signal on the telephone line, and vice versa. Follow the procedures below to install line filters on any device (telephones, fax machines, caller ID boxes) that shares the same telephone line with your DSL. (Note, this section may not apply to you. Consult your provider if you are unsure.) There are two types of filters to connect between the telephone and the wall plate: • In-line filter: For use with standard desktop telephones. • Wall-mount filter: For use with wall-mounted telephones. DSL performance may be significantly degraded if the line filters are not installed in the correct direction, as illustrated below. In-Line Filter For each device sharing the same telephone line: 1. Unplug the device’s cord from the telephone jack. 2. Plug the filter into the telephone jack. 3. Plug the telephone cord (or other device cord) into the filter. Wall-Mount Filter For a wall-mounted telephone, install a wall mount filter: 1. Remove the telephone. 2. Connect the wall mount filter to the wall plate. 3. Reconnect the telephone.

Model F@st™2864 Router User’s Guide Troubleshooting 20 Resolving Specific Issues Power LED Not Lit If the Power LED is not lit, it is not connecting to the power source. Verify that the power cord is firmly plugged into the bottom panel of the router and that the other end is plugged into an active AC wall or power-strip outlet. WAN LED Not Lit If the WAN LED is not lit, it is not detecting a valid signal from the Central Office (CO). Depending on your type of service (DSL or FTTH), verify that the DSL or Ethernet WAN cable is plugged into the correct router port and the router power cord is plugged into the electrical outlet. If the cables are secure, you should contact your Service Provider. Ethernet LED Not Lit This indicates that there is no Ethernet link detected. Check the Ethernet cable connection from the computer to the router. If you have used the wrong cable, the LED on the Ethernet (NIC) card in your computer will not be lit either. POST Failure (red Power LED) POST is the router’s “power-on self-test.” When you power on or reboot the router, the Power LED flashes green indicating an active POST; it either fails POST or it comes fully up and is ready to run. • If the initial POST diagnostic tests fail, the Power LED will turns solid red, indicating a POST failure, and locks the router. You will need to contact Technical Support to resolve this issue. • If POST passes, the router continues through the rest of its initialization and the Power LED changes to solid green. Contacting Technical Support If you still cannot resolve the issue after following the recommended troubleshooting procedures, first contact your ISP. If the problem persists, contact Sagemcom Technical Support at the following number. Telephone: (972) 674-4100 Fax: (972) 386-7432
