6 CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Analog or ISDN Modem Connection
To connect an analog or ISDN modem to the gateway, use a COM cable to
connect the COM port of the gateway to your modem, as shown in the figure
below. See your analog or ISDN modem documentation for more details.
Printer Connection To connect a printer to the gateway, connect the printer cable to the PRINT port of
the gateway, as shown in the figure, above.
To use your gateway as a print server, allowing you to share one printer across
your home network, see Chapter 5 of this user manual for more details.
Power To supply power to the gateway, insert the power adapter plug in the power
connector of the gateway (see “Left Side Panel” on page 4). Then, power up the
devices of your home network in the following order:
Modem
Home Ethernet Gateway
Other devices (computers, printer, etc.)
Self-Test Phase
Once the gateway is powered up, it will automatically enter self-test phase. When
it is in self-test phase, the WAN and Status LEDs (see “Top Panel” on page 4) will
illuminate for about 5 seconds, and then flash three times to indicate that the
self-test has finished. Finally, the Status LED will flash once per second to indicate
that the gateway is operating normally.
