Refer to the BCM50a Integrated Router Configuration Guide (N0027181) for information
about how to configure the router.
2 Make sure the power supply is connected to the BCM50a main unit and to the ac power source
(wall outlet).
3 Connect one end of a standard telephone cable to the ADSL telephone line provided by your
ISP.
4 Plug the other end of the telephone cable into the WAN port.
Next step
After you have connected the cables to the BCM50 system, you can test the system. Refer to
“Testing basic BCM50 functionality” on page 159 for information about testing the BCM50
system.
Warning: Do not plug the WAN cable into the system unless the power supply is
connected to the main unit and an ac power source with a third-wire ground.
Note: If you use the ADSL telephone line for both ADSL and regular voice
communication, you must install a splitter filter. The splitter filter is provided by your
ADSL service provider. Follow your service provider's instructions on how to connect
the splitter.
