Webmail is a convenient way to check your OTELCO e-mail account from any computer with Internet access and a compatible web browser.

Keep in mind when sending files:

• ALL mail in WebMail counts against your mailbox quota.
• You can save WebMail space by NOT ‘copying yourself’, ‘saving after sending’ or ‘archiving’ messages you’ve sent. In the Preferences settings, Sent Folder option, you can choose Do Not Archive Sent Messages
• If you need to archive large messages or large numbers of messages, consider using a standard mail program in conjunction with WebMail.
• Large files can be very slow sending and downloading at the recipient’s end.

Our modems come in various shapes and colors, but the setup process is virtually identical, no matter which modem was delivered to you.

1. Connecting the Coax Cable

Connect the enclosed coax cable to an activated cable outlet in your home. Connect the other end of the coax cable to the coax port on the cable modem/router. Hand tighten the connectors to not damage the cable modem or the jack.

2. Powering Your Modem

Plug the power cord into the back of the modem and then into the closet power outlet or strip. The power light should come on and the other lights will start coming on.  The lights on the cable modem will start blinking and should become solid as the modem activates.  Be sure the cable is connected before powering on.

3. Connecting the Ethernet Cable

Connect the supplied ethernet cable to the port on the back of the modem.  Then connect the other end of the ethernet cable to your computer or router’s WAN port. This should make the Link light start blinking. This means the modem has connectivity.  Make sure the modem lights are solid before turning on your router or computer

4. Connecting Your Devices

If you have a modem router combo the Wireless SSID and Pre-shared Key should be listed on the modem.  It should be entered into your device just as it shows on the cable modem.

5. Trouble Shooting

If your service is not working after these steps are completed give our tech support a call at: 1-833-683-5261.

You can connect as many devices as you like to your OTELCO network. That being said, we recommend you first use the OTELCO bandwidth calculator to make sure you have enough bandwidth.

Yes! We will provide you with special filters that you install on each jack where you have a telephone. This filter separates DSL signals from phone service. Depending upon the current wiring installation in your home, inside wiring may or may not be required.

Our modems come in various shapes and colors, but the setup process is virtually identical, no matter which modem was delivered to you.

1. Plugging in the DSL Filter

If you have been provided with DSL filters, go ahead and plug those into every phone jack that goes to a phone, fax machine, or answering machine. Then plug your phone back into the filter and make sure it still works.

The filter pictured bottom is also a splitter. If you want to have a phone and your DSL modem for your Internet served from the same phone jack, you can use this type. The black port which has a symbol of a phone goes to your phone, fax, or answering machine. The white port with the computer symbol goes to your DSL modem.  In certain areas you will not need a filter as the filtering is done outside. But if you have used them in the past you will probably still need them. They do go bad and many stores carry them in case you don’t have one. Your service will work without these regardless, but you may have issues when you get a phone call. Never put the filter side on the line going to the DSL modem as it will block the DSL signal.

2. Connecting the Modem

Plug the phone line into the DSL port. Plug your computer or your wireless router (if you don’t have a wireless router, we can provide one) into one of the yellow ports ( usually labeled LAN or ETH).  Then plug the power into the barrel jack, usually labeled power.

If the lights don’t come on, make sure the power button (on the side of the pictured modem) is pressed in. On other modems, it’s a toggle switch on the back. Once the lights come on it can take up to 5 min for the modem to fully connect and be ready to get online.

3. Connecting to Wireless (for the all in one units) – Look at the bottom of the modem (the foot of the modem). There you can find a tag that has the Wi-Fi SSID, this is your network name, search for and select this name on your Wireless Device (Laptop, Cellphone, Chromecast etc.). Then enter the Wi-Fi Key (password) which is also found on the same tag. If you have trouble seeing this tag, we suggest using a cellphone camera and zooming in, or a magnifying glass.
4. Troubleshooting – If your Internet light didn’t come on, or even if it did and you cannot get onto the Internet. Please copy down the “MAC:” that is listed on the label on the bottom, it is 12 characters long and then give our tech support a call at: 1-833-683-5261.

5. Logging into Your Modem

If you want to log into the modem yourself, you may point your browser to: http://10.255.252.1 (try https if that doesn’t work). Then when prompted:

Username: enduser

Password: OtelcO

Keep in mind when sending files:

• ALL mail in WebMail counts against your mailbox quota.
• You can save WebMail space by NOT ‘copying yourself’, ‘saving after sending’ or ‘archiving’ messages you’ve sent. In the Preferences settings, Sent Folder option, you can choose Do Not Archive Sent Messages
• If you need to archive large messages or large numbers of messages, consider using a standard mail program in conjunction with WebMail.
• Large files can be very slow sending and downloading at the recipient’s end.
