Getting Started Before starting, we assume that your ADSL line has already been installed at your premises by your landline provider and that it is active. The installation should have also included the correct wall plug, which is different from your traditional basic landline wall plug. An ADSL enabled wall plug, also known as a Y splitter, will allow you to insert two telephone cords, one for your telephone landline, and one for an ADSL line. (It doesn t matter which one you choose for each, the both the same.) The Billion 7401 VGP is a specialised router, in that it s VoIP capable. The router is firstly your gateway to the internet using FNB Connect ADSL data. This guide will help you connect to the FNB Network, to enjoy surfing, emailing, and downloading at your leisure. The router s VoIP capability allows you to use it for your telephone needs with FNB Connects Talk products. Users that prefer to make use of VoIP on a real handset usually have to purchase what s known as a VoIP (Or IP or SIP or Ethernet or Network) handset. This VoIP enabled router allows you the same freedom of using your FNB Connect VoIP on a real handset, but that handset is your usual Analogue phone that you receive/purchase for your landline, saving you from having to purchase extra complicated handsets to take advantage of FNB Connect Talk. When installing your VoIP enabled ADSL router the diagram below of the Billion 7401 VGP can be used as a reference guide as it shows you how the different components all fit together. It may look confusing, but it really isn t. P a g e 3
Connecting your ADSL router to your phone line In order to setup your ADSL router, you need to go through the following steps: The first step when setting up your new Billion 7401 is to ensure it is plugged in correctly. 1. Connect this router to your computer/laptop/network switch using the Ethernet cable supplied. Plug the one end of the Ethernet cable into one of the 4 available LAN ports on the back of the router, and the other into the LAN port on your computer (or Network switch) 2. Connect to the ADSL/telephone (ADSL) network, by using the telephone cord (RJ 11), plug one end into the ADSL port on the router and the other end into the Wall socket installed by the landline provider when your ADSL was installed. 3. Power on the device. 4. Make sure the PWR and SYS and LAN LEDs are lit (Not Blinking). 5. If you planning to use your FNB Connect VoIP number on a standard analogue phone through this router, then connect one end of an RJ11 cord (normal telephone cord) to the VoIP port marked and the other into the analogue handset.

How do I know if I m connected? To see that a connection between the computer and the router has been made there are three checks that you can perform. N.B. This check is best performed while you still connected to the wired network Option 1: Open a new browser and browse to a few different websites i.e. www.google.com or www.fnb.co.za If you are not able to browse any site, or if you receive any connection error load, then you need to try option 2. Option 2: This option allows you to check the internet connection by sending a ping. A ping shows weather your computer can communicate with another computer over a network. If the connection exists you should receive four replies stating: Packets: Sent=4, Received=4, Lost=0,<0% lost> To send a ping you need to: Select the start menu button Then click Run P a g e 9
Then type in CMD in the open field Then in the command window, type ping www.google.co.za ( Refer to example below) Once you have received four successful replies, you know you are connected successfully.
