Connect the Residential Gateway
The following installation procedure ensures proper setup and configuration for the
residential gateway.
1
Choose an appropriate and safe location to install the residential gateway (close
to a power source, an active cable connection, and your PC-if using high-speed
Internet). For assistance, go to
Where Is the Best Location for My Residential
Gateway?
(on page 10).
WARNING:
To avoid personal injury, follow the installation instructions in the exact
order shown.
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
connections:
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 mulit-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 residential gateway once
the residential gateway is operational. Follow the directions provided for
your wireless device for associating with a wireless access point.
If the
residential gateway has a WIRELESS ON/OFF button, make sure that
WIRELESS is enabled by confirming that the ON/OFF indicator is ON. If the
indicator is OFF, press the ON/OFF button to enable the WIRELESS feature.
More information about the factory default configuration of your wireless
residential gateway can be found later in this guide in Configure Wireless
Settings.

Locate the AC power cord provided with your residential gateway. Insert one
end of the power cord into the AC connector on the back of the residential
gateway. Then, plug the AC power cord into an AC outlet to power-up the
residential gateway. The residential gateway will perform an automatic search to
locate and sign on to the broadband data network. This process may take up to 2-
5 minutes. The residential gateway will be ready for use when the
POWER
,
DS
,
US
and
ONLINE
LEDs on the front panel of the residential gateway stop
blinking and remain on continuously.
6
Plug in and power on your PC and other home network devices. The
LINK
LED
on the residential gateway corresponding to the connected devices should be on
or blinking.
7
Once your residential gateway is online, most Internet devices will have
immediate Internet access.
Note:
If your PC does not have Internet access, refer to
How Do I Configure
TCP/IP Protocol?
(on page 100) for information on how to configure your PC for
TCP/IP.
For Internet devices other than PCs, refer to the DHCP or IP Address
configuration section of the User Guide or Operations Manual for those devices.
