Relationship among the Devices
What the Modem Does
The Wireless Gateway provides high-speed Internet access as well as cost-effective fax/modem services
over residential, commercial, and education subscribers on public and private networks via an existing
CATV infrastructure. The IP traffic can transfer between the Wireless Gateway and DOCSIS compliant
headend equipment. The data security secures upstream and downstream communications.
What the Modem Needs to Do Its Job
±
The Right Cable Company:
Make sure your local cable company provides data services that
use cable TV industry-standard Euro-DOCSIS compliant technology.
Contact Your Local Cable Company
You will need to contact your cable company to establish an Internet account before you can use your
gateway. You should have the following information ready (which you will find on the sticker on the
gateway):
•
The serial number
•
The model number
•
The Cable Modem (CM) Media Access Control (MAC) address
•
SSID, WEP/WPA-PSK information

Please verify the following with the cable company
²
The cable service to your home supports Euro-DOCSIS compliant two-way modem access.
²
You have a cable outlet near your PC and it is ready for Cable Modem service.
Note: It is important to supply power to the modem at all times. Keeping your modem plugged in will
keep it connected to the Internet. This means that it will always be ready whenever you need.
Important Information
Your cable company should always be consulted before installing a new cable outlet. Do not attempt any
rewiring without contacting your cable company first.

Connecting the Wireless Gateway to a Single Computer
This section of the manual explains how to connect your Wireless Gateway to the Ethernet port on your
computer and install the necessary software.
Please refer to Figure 1 to help you connect your Digital
Cable Modem for the best possible connection.
Attaching the Cable TV Wire to the Wireless Gateway
1.
L
ocate the Cable TV wire. You may find it one of three ways:
a.
Connected directly to a TV, a Cable TV converter box, or VCR. The line will be connected to
the jack which should be labeled either IN, CABLE IN, CATV, CATV IN, etc.
b.
Connected to a wall-mounted cable outlet.
c.
Coming out from under a baseboard heater or other location. See Figure 1 for the wiring
example.
Notes:
For optimum performance, be sure to
connect your Wireless Gateway to the first point
the cable enters your home. The splitter must be
rated for at least 1GHz.

Important Connection Information
The Wireless Gateway supports Ethernet connections simultaneously.
Below are important points to remember before you connect the Wireless Gateway.
Ethernet Connection to a Computer
Make the connection to the modem in the following sequence:
1.
Connect one end of the coaxial cable to the cable connection on the wall, and the other end to the
CABLE jack on the Wireless Gateway.
2.
Connect the plug from the DC power supply into the POWER DC ADAPTER jack on the Cable
Wireless Gateway, and plug the power supply into a DC outlet.
Note: Use only the power supply that accompanied this unit. Using other adapters may damage the unit.
3.
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable (straight-wired, see below) to the Ethernet port on the back of
your computer, and the other end to the ETHERNET port on the Wireless Gateway.
Make sure that the Ethernet cable is straight-wired (not “null” or crossover-wired). However, you
will need a crossover-type cable if you are connecting the modem to a hub, or a hub within a port
switch that provides the same function.
