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
,
US/DS
, and
Online
LEDs on the front panel of the residential gateway stop blinking and remain on
continuously.

Wait a few seconds for the device to de discovered. When discovered, an LED
labeled
2.4 GHz
or
5 GHz
should turn on. At this point, a MoCA node should be
active in the network.

If you have not already done so, connect an Ethernet compatible device (for
example, a set-top, computer, or PlayStation) to the Ethernet port on the
Residential Gateway. The
ONLINE
LED should turn on and the device should
be ready to use.

Follow the steps above to connect additional Residential Gateways to the
network; note that up 15 residential gateways can be added to a MoCA network.

From the user interface, you can monitor a limited number of parameters
associated with the MoCA network. You may login at any time to check for
status or for troubleshooting purposes.
