Note: It should not be necessary to configure the modem if it was purchased directly from BellSouth.

This installation guide will assume that the modem is set to the factory default IP address of 10.0.0.138. If that is not the case or you are unsure, you will need to perform the "Ping-of-Line" procedure outlined in section 6.1.1 of the SpeedTouch Home Users Manual to reset the IP address to the factory Default, before continuing with these instructions.

You will also need to insure that the modem is connected to the network card in your PC and powered on. See Chapter 3 in the SpeedTouch Home Users Manual for more details.

•Make sure that the network card in your PC that the modem is connected to is assigned an IP address in the 10.0.0.x range with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Please refer to the SpeedTouch Home NIC Configuration FAQ if you are unsure how to accomplish this task.

•Open your browser and point it to the IP address of the Modem (10.0.0.138)



You should see the modem configuration Welcome to the World of ADSL page.

Next, click the "Phonebook" menu button on the left side of the page.



If an entry is present on the Phonebook page for "Br1", click the associated "Delete" button for that entry to remove it.
