How do you connect the cables to your b-box 3V+?

How do you connect your Proximus devices to use your fixed line, television and Internet? 

  1. If necessary, first prepare the splitter and the Proximus connection socket.
    • In most cases, there is already a Proximus connection socket on your premises and you don't have to do anything.
    • If there is no Proximus connection socket on your premises, prepare your wall socket by plugging a Proximus splitter into it. There are two options: either you have a single 5-pin socket (view manual in French or in Dutch) or you have several 5- or 6-pin sockets (view manual in French or in Dutch). In case of doubt, choose the second option.
  2. Do you have a fixed line? 
    • If you have a traditional fixed line, plug the telephone jack into the Proximus splitter. The splitter may be different from the one in the figure below.

    • If you have a fixed line via the Internet, it depends on the telephone you are using.
      • If you have a traditional telephone, plug the telephone jack into the green port (Phone 1) of your modem.
      • If you have a new IP telephone, plug the telephone jack into one of your modems yellow ports.
