Basic Installation Procedure
1.
Connect the LAN:
You can connect the Gateway to your PC, or to a hub or switch. Run
Ethernet cable from one of the LAN ports on the rear of the Gateway to your computer’s
network adapter or to another network device.
You can use either a standard straight
through or cross over Ethernet cable since the Gateway incorporates Auto-MDI MDIX
functionality.
You can also connect the Gateway to your PC (using a wireless client adapter) via radio
signals.
NOTE
: It is recommended that for first-time setup you use a wired connection.
2.
Connect the WAN:
Connect a coax cable to the CATV port on the back of the Gateway
from a cable port located in your home. When connecting to the CATV port, use only
manufactured coaxial patch cables with F-type connectors at both ends for all connections.
Note
: If this modem was NOT installed by your cable provider (ISP) or is being used to
replace another cable modem – please contact your Cable Operator to register the
SMC8014W-G.
Without registering the modem with your cable operator it will be unable to
connect to the cable network system.
3.
Power on:
Connect the power adapter to the Gateway.
Warning
: Only use the power adapter that was provided with the Gateway, using another
power adapter may damage your unit and void the warranty.
