How Do I Connect My Gateway for Internet and Telephone Service?
WARNING:
To avoid personal injury, follow the installation instructions in the exact
order shown.
To prevent possible damage to equipment, disconnect any other telephone
service before connecting your cable modem to the same wires.
Hazardous electrical voltages can exist on the telephone ports on the
residential gateway and can be present on any connected wiring including
Ethernet wiring, telephone wiring and coax cable.
Telephone wiring and connections must be properly insulated to prevent
electrical shock.
Telephone connections to an installed home telephone wiring network
must be done by a qualified installer. The cable telephone service
provider may offer professional installation and connection to the home
telephone wiring network. A fee may be charged for this service.
Wiring and connections must be properly insulated to prevent electrical
shock.
Disconnect power from the residential gateway before attempting to
connect to any device.
2 Power off your PC and other networking device; then, unplug them from the
power source.
3 Connect the active RF coaxial cable from your service provider to the coax
connector labeled CABLE on the back of the residential gateway.
Note: To connect a TV, DHCT, set-top, or VCR from the same cable connection,
you will need to install a cable signal splitter (not included). Always check with
your service provider before using a splitter as a splitter may degrade the signal.
4 Connect your PC to the residential gateway using either of the following
methods.
Ethernet Connection: Locate the yellow Ethernet cable, connect one end of
the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on your PC, and connect the other end
to the yellow ETHERNET port on the back of the residential gateway.
Note: To install more Ethernet devices than ports provided on the residential
gateway, use an external multi-port Ethernet switch(s).
Wireless: Make sure that your wireless device is powered up. You will need
to associate your wireless device with the wireless gateway once the gateway
is operational. Follow the directions provided with your wireless device for
associating with a wireless access point.
More information about the factory default configuration of your wireless
gateway can be found later in this user guide in Configure Wireless Settings
(on page 38).
