Connecting Your Devices
1. Before you begin, make sure that all of your hardware is powered off, including the gateway,
PCs, hubs, and switches.
2. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports (labeled 1, 2, 3, or 4) on the back
of the gateway and the other end to a standard port on a network device, e.g., a PC, print
server, hub, or switch. Repeat the above step to connect more PCs or network devices to the
gateway.
3. Connect the coaxial cable from the wall to the CABLE jack on the back of the gateway.
4. Connect the power supply cable to the Power jack on the back of the gateway, then plug the
supplied power cable into an AC power outlet.
Activating the Wireless Cable Gateway
Initialization
1. Connect the power cable to the back of the gateway. For the first few seconds of operation,
multiple LEDs will flash in unison while the gateway performs self-test diagnostics.
The Cable Modem section of the gateway proceeds with EURO-DOCSIS initialization. In this
process, the CM performs the following sequence of steps. For a newly-installed gateway, this
can take as much as 20 minutes to complete.
• Tuning - searching for a downstream EURO-DOCSIS CM signal
• Ranging - establishing 2-way communication with the cable company
• Connecting - obtaining the CM IP Address (for IP Stack 1)
