If you wish the connection to be operable in more than one room at a time, you will need a separate switch and network cables. Bedroom1 Bedroom2 Living room Entrance 3. Connect the network cable(s) from the terminal device s LAN port to the cross-connection board, to the desired room. 4. Connect the terminal device s power cable to a socket. 5.

Fibre Ethernet terminal device (to be acquired by the customer). Installation instructions for a fibre Ethernet terminal device 1. Install the terminal device in the cabinet in the property s electrical room, at which the DNA Real Estate Cable connection was terminated (a fixed installation is recommended). See the device s user guide for detailed installation instructions. 2. Connect one end of the connection fibre to the terminal device s WAN port and the other end to an available blue fibre socket in the optical fibre s terminal box. 3. Troubleshooting and solutions If you experience problems in the installation phase or with the operation of the broadband connection, check the following: Check that the connections have been made according to the instructions. Also take the instructions included with the terminal device into consideration. Make sure that the power cord has been plugged in to a live socket correctly. Make sure that the Ethernet network cable is correctly connected. Check that the cable connections are correct. Make sure that all landline s are connected behind a filter. When using a VDSL connection, make sure that all sockets are equipped with an interference filter. A socket without a filter may cause interference in broadband operations. If your flat has more than one tele socket, test the functioning of the connection through all of them. If the problem persists, check everything once more. Keep the terminal switched on, and call our technical support line. Keep the service agreement to hand; it will expedite solving the problem. For more information, visit NOTE: Handle the connection fibre carefully. Do not make sharp bends in the fibre, and try to keep the ends of the fibre clean. Avoid direct visual contact with the ends. 8 9
