How Do I Mount the Modem on a Wall? (Optional)
How Do I Mount the Modem on a Wall? (Optional)
You can mount the residential gateway on a wall using two wall anchors, two
screws, and the mounting slots located on the unit. The modem can be mounted
vertically or horizontally.
Before You Begin
Before you begin, choose an appropriate mounting place. The wall can be made of
cement, wood, or drywall. The mounting location should be free of obstructions on
all sides, and the cables should be able to easily reach the residential gateway
without strain. Leave sufficient clearance between the bottom of the residential
gateway and any flooring or shelving underneath to allow access to cabling. In
addition, leave enough slack in all cables so that the residential gateway can be
removed for any required maintenance without disconnecting the cables. Also,
verify that you have the following items:
Two wall anchors for #8 x 1-inch screws
Two #8 x 1-inch pan head sheet metal screws
Drill with a 3/16-in. wood or masonry bit, as appropriate for the wall
composition

Mounting the Residential Gateway on a Wall
1
Using a drill with a 3/16-inch bit, drill two holes at the same height and 4 inches
apart.
Note:
The preceding graphic illustrates the location of the mounting holes on the
back of the residential gateway.
2
Are you mounting the residential gateway into a drywall or concrete surface
where a wooden stud is available?
If
yes
, go to step 3.
If
no
, drive the anchor bolts into the wall, and install the mounting screws
into the anchor bolts; leave a gap of about 1/4-inch between the screw head
and the wall. Then, go to step 4.
3
Install the mounting screws into the wall; leave a gap of about 1/4-inch between
the screw head and the wall. Then, go to step 4.
4
Verify that no cables or wires are connected to the residential gateway.
5
Lift the residential gateway into position. Slip the large end of both mounting
slots (located in the back of the residential gateway) over the mounting screws,
and then slide the residential gateway down until the narrow end of the keyhole
slot contacts the screw shaft.
Important:
Verify that the mounting screws securely support the residential
gateway before you release the unit.

How Do I Connect My Gateway for Internet Service?
How Do I Connect My Gateway for Internet Service?
You can use your residential gateway to provide Internet access, and you can share
that Internet connection with other Internet devices in your home or office. Sharing
one connection among many devices is called networking.
Connecting and Installing Internet Devices
Professional installation may be available. Contact your local service provider for
further assistance.
To connect devices
The following diagram illustrates one of the various networking options that are
available to you.
Connecting the Residential Gateway for High-Speed Data Service
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, your PC—if using high-speed
Internet).
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.

How Do I Connect My Gateway for Internet Service?
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 35).
5
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 modem 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 the residential gateway is online, most Internet devices will have
immediate Internet access.
Note:
If your PC does not have Internet access, refer to
Frequently Asked
Questions
(on page 91) 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.
