3. Plug the power cable into the modem and your power point and turn the modem on.
4. Repeat step 3 with your ONT, ensuring that it is also connected to the power.
5. Plug the yellow Ethernet cable into any of the numbered Ethernet ports on the modem and plug the other end into your device (e.g. PC, POS system, switch or existing infrastructure).
