Locate the AC power cord provided with your Residential Gateway. Connect the
barrel connector end of the power cord into the power input on the back of the
Residential Gateway. Then, plug the other end of the power cord into an AC
outlet.
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.

Plug in and power on your PC and other home network devices. If one or more
of these devices uses wireless networking, the
2.4 GHz
or
5 GHz
LED on the
Residential Gateway should be on or blinking.
8
At this point, the installation is complete, and you can begin surfing the Internet.
Note:
If your PC does not have Internet access, refer to
How Do I Configure
TCP/IP Protocol?
(on page 48) 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.

Install the Battery
Your Residential Gateway may include one rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery to
provide stand-by operation in the event of an AC power failure. We recommend that
you install the battery before mounting the Residential Gateway to a wall (if you
decide to do so) and before installing the Residential Gateway in your home.
It is possible to use the Residential Gateway without the battery. However, if you
choose to operate the Residential Gateway without a battery, you will not have
telephone service during a power outage.
For information on battery maintenance, refer to
Maintaining the Battery
(on page
43).
Installing the Battery
Installing the battery requires no tools. Follow these instructions to install the
battery.
WARNING:
Fully charged high-capacity rechargeable batteries should be handled with
care. Replace only with the battery recommended by the manufacturer. Do not
disassemble it or attempt to recharge the battery outside the system. Do not
crush, puncture, dispose of in a fire, short the external contacts, or expose to
high temperature or immerse in water or other liquids. Dispose of the battery
in accordance with local regulations and instructions from your service
provider
.
1
Turn the Residential Gateway so that you are facing the side with the battery
compartment.
2
Gently release the latch to open the battery cover and gain access to the battery
compartment.

3
Insert the battery into the battery compartment. Do not force the battery into the
compartment, but be sure to press the battery all the way in until it seats fully.
Important:
Take care to position the battery correctly. Insert the battery only as
shown in the following illustration.
4
Close the battery compartment door.
Important:
After you install the Residential Gateway and plug it into an AC
electrical outlet as described in
Install the Residential Gateway
(on page 17), it
can take as long as 24 hours for the battery to charge fully. However, you can
begin using your high-speed Internet and telephone service immediately after
installation. See
Normal Operations (AC Power Applied)
(on page 40) for
information on how the LEDs on the front of the Residential Gateway indicate
the state of the battery charge.

MoCA Installation Guidelines
MoCA is an in-home distribution technology that leverages the coax cable networks
that exist in more than 90% of US households. MoCA is an attractive option because
it provides a relatively low-cost method of getting DVR and other multimedia
sharing video services to multiple TVs within the home without additional cable
installation.
MoCA operates over the physical layer of the home coaxial cable plant in the 1000-
1500 MHz spectrum. Its infrastructure begins at the service provider’s drop cable at
the first passive splitter connected to the home coax network.
Recommended Installation Guidelines
The following guidelines are recommended for a home network prior to installation.
The maximum cable distance supported between the network coordinator and
the last outlet is 300 feet.
The maximum attenuation permitted between nodes is 25 dB.
Branches within the home-network should flow from secondary splitters.
Assess the home network and determine the data rates between coax outlets.
Sectionalize the individual MoCA nodes to validate proper operation of the
device’s MoCA interface.
Evaluate and certify the integrity of the coax cable plant between MoCA nodes.

Identify sources of noise and interference on the MoCA spectrum.
Re-qualify additional coax outlets to support MoCA-enabled devices and
services.
Pre-Installation Instructions
Prior to installing MoCA, complete the following tasks:
1
Contact your service provider and ensure that the Residential Gateway is
enabled for MoCA services.
2
Ensure that a MoCA filter has been has been installed by your service provider at
the home’s entry point,
as shown in the following illustration:
3
To log-in to the Residential Gateway, enter
in the web address
(URL) field of any browser and press the
Enter
key. Then enter the following
when prompted:
Username:
admin
Password:
password
4
From the menu options, go to
Gateway/Connections/MoCA
and ensure that
MoCA is set to
enable
.
5
If you have not already done so, connect the coaxial cable from a wall cable
outlet within the home network to the
MoCA/Cable
port on the rear panel of the
Residential Gateway.
6
If you have not already done so, connect the AC power cord provided with your
Residential Gateway. Connect the barrel connector end of the power cord into
the power input on the back of the Residential Gateway. Then, plug the other
end of the power cord into an AC outlet.
