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 Wireless

Residential Gateway?

(on page 9).

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
