Setting Up
the Gateway
The instructions that follow parallel the steps contained in the Actiontec Installation
Buddy
™
, which provides a visual guide to setting up the Gateway. It is recommended
the user run the Installation Buddy first, before attempting any other procedures.
To set up the Gateway, it must be connected to a computer, and then configured.
After connecting this first computer, other computers can be added to the network
via USB, Ethernet, or wirelessly (see “Setting Up a Network” on page 63).
Attention!
Read the following two sections (Alarm System, Automatic Water Heater)
before proceeding with any installation!
Alarm System
If your home or business has an alarm system, and if Qwest DSL shares the same
phone line, you have special wiring needs. If you did not order a technician install
at the time of sale, please contact your Security Alarm Provider or Qwest Sales as
soon as possible to order and schedule your installation.
If your security alarm system is wired incorrectly, it may not be able to make a
notification call when the alarm is triggered.
Professional wiring is required to ensure inter-operability. Do not attempt the
installation yourself!
Qwest strongly recommends contacting your security organization for more
information about your security alarm system before attempting to install Qwest
DSL. Qwest also strongly recommends contacting your security organization after
installing Qwest DSL to have them conduct a test of your alarm system.
Automatic Water Meter
Although most water companies do not utilize automatic water meters, some do. If
you have an automatic water meter using the same phone line as your Qwest DSL
service, you must install a DSL Phone Filter.
Contact your water company for help installing the DSL Phone Filter on your water
meter, or if you are unsure whether your water meter uses your phone line.
