System Requirements

• Your Montana.Net DSL service must be active before you can configure your DSLModem (Modem/Router).
• Your computer must have a 10 Mbps or 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connection, or USB connection. (Note: USB connection to the Modem is not supported for Microsoft Windows 95, Windos NT 4.0, and Mac OS.)
• Your computer's operating system must be one of the following: Microsoft Windows 98SE, ME, NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Mac OS 7.1+, Mac OS 8.0+, Mac OS 9.0+, or Mac OS X+.
• Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher, Netscape Navigator 4.0 or higher, or Opera 7 or higher.
• TCP/IP network protocol installed on each computer to be connected to DSL.

Once you have satisfied the above requirements, your next step would be to plug the MicroFilters into each telephone jack to which a telephone is connected. The basic kit comes with one filter for use with a wall-mount telephone, and three filters for use with other devices. Note that the phone jack into which you will plug your Modem can NOT have a filter on it.

Remember that ANY device connected to the phone system, including Answering Machines, Fax Machines, Satellite Systems, Security Alarm Systems and Automatic Water Meters, must have a MicroFilter connected to it.

After you have installed the MicroFilters on your phone jacks you are ready to hook up your Modem. The Actiontec GT701-wg Modem Modem/Router that is provided for your DSL service is connected as follows:
