How Do I Connect USB Network Devices?
WARNING:
Hazardous electrical voltages can be present on any connected wiring. USB
wiring and connections must be properly insulated to prevent electrical shock.
Disconnect power from the cable modem gateway before attempting to
connect to any device.
To avoid personal injury, follow these steps in the exact order shown.
CAUTION:
To prevent possible damage to the equipment, disconnect any other service
before connecting your cable modem gateway to other devices.
Read the warnings and caution on this page. Then, follow the subsequent
installation procedures to ensure proper cable modem gateway operation when
connecting USB network devices.
Note: Verify that you have installed the USB drivers on your PC before continuing
with these instructions. See How Do I Install USB Drivers? (on page
26), for more
information on installing the USB drivers.
1 Select locations for USB network devices. For more information, see How Do I
Select and Place USB Network Devices? (on page
33).
2 Connect the USB port on the cable modem gateway to your computer.
3 Connect one or more USB network device to the cable modem gateway.
Note: If you want to connect more than one USB network device to the cable
modem gateway or to your computer, you will need to purchase and install a
USB hub.
4 Connect the active RF coaxial cable to the CABLE connector on the back of the
cable modem gateway. Use an optional cable signal splitter to add a TV, a DHCT
or set-top converter, or a VCR.
5 After all connections are complete, insert the AC power cord into the POWER
connector on the back of the cable modem gateway, and then plug the cord into
an AC power source.
6 The cable modem gateway begins an automatic search to locate and sign on to
the network. This process may take up to 5 minutes. The cable modem gateway
is ready for use when the ONLINE LED status indicator on the front panel stops
blinking and illuminates continuously.
7 Verify that all USB devices are working properly.
Note: You will not be able to check the front panel LED status indicator on the
cable modem gateway until after at least one USB network device is connected
and operating on the network.
