Step 1

Unpack the box you received containing the Linksys Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA).  It will contain the components as shown. 

The power supply may come in two parts.  Simply slide the two-pronged US power plug into place on the body of the adaptor.  You will hear it click as it locks into place.

 Step 2

Locate your Internet connection.  It is the line coming from your modem that plugs into the RJ45 Ethernet jack on your computer. Remove the end from the Computer.

Note***   If you are following these instructions on your computer as you do this installation, be sure to leave this page open so you can follow to the next step.  Of course you can print them and follow in that manner if you wish.

 Step 3

Plug the power supply into the wall outlet. Then connect it to the ATA.

 Step 4

Take the end of the jumper cable you disconnected from your computer in Step 2 and insert it into the blue slot immediately to the right of the power jack, labeled "Internet".   The ATA is now connected to the Internet.

 Step 5

Take the Ethernet jumper provided with the ATA and plug one end into the yellow slot marked "Ethernet"  It is located immediately to the right of the Internet connection made in Step 4.

Take the other end and plug it into the location on your computer where you removed the Modem connection in Step 2.

You should now have a complete path from the Modem, to the ATA, to the computer.

 Step 6

Take the wire from your phone and plug it in the left-most jack, labeled "Phone 1". 

The "phone 2" jack is only used with service plans that have two distinct lines such as multi-line and Fax line plans.

IMPORTANT ! ! !

DO NOT connect the ATA directly into  a wall jack.  If you are attempting to distribute this number to multiple telephone devices in your home you must follow the "Advanced Installation Instructions" available on the previous page.

 Step 6A

Your ATA should now look like the photo to the left.  Confirm all connections are correct before continuing.

 Step 7

Position the ATA so that you can see the indicator lights.  The first three lights should all come on within 2-3 minutes.

Light 1 is the power indicator and should remain solid

Light 2 will flash, indicating active Internet communication is taking place.

Light 3 indicates the ATA is registered with our switch .  It may flash for 30-60 seconds during registration and update, but should be steady indicating that phone service is available.  It will flash during a phone call.

 Step 8

Test your connection by picking up the phone.  A dial tone should be heard.  Use your NuTel phone service as you would any other telephone service.
