I believe you need to connect your ONT to a bell modem. Do this by connecting one end of an ethernet cable to the ONT and the other end to the Bell modem WAN port.
Then you should operate the bell modem in 'bridge mode' with another ethernet cable connected from the bell modem LAN port to your RAX40 WAN port.

I think with Bell you have to use there modem, I think they call it a "Connection Hub".
It should be included with your service.
Do you have an active service with Bell?

Are you saying that you have an ONT, and it has no Ethernet port for
your Internet connection?- Ragu49Aspirant

It sounds like you have a DSL connection.
