How Do I Connect My Gateway for Internet Service?

You can use your residential gateway to provide Internet access, and you can share that Internet connection with other Internet devices in your home or office. Sharing one connection among many devices is called networking.

Connecting and Installing Internet Devices

Professional installation may be available. Contact your local service provider for further assistance.

To connect devices

The following diagram illustrates one of the various networking options that are available to you.

Connecting the Residential Gateway for High-Speed Data Service

The following installation procedure ensures proper setup and configuration for the residential gateway.

1. Choose an appropriate and safe location to install the residential gateway (close to a power source, an active cable connection, your PC—if using high-speed Internet).

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 methods.

• 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 multi-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 gateway once the gateway is operational. Follow the directions provided with your wireless device for associating with a wireless access point.

5. 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 modem will be ready for use when the POWER, DS, US and ONLINE LEDs on the front panel of the residential gateway stop blinking and remain on continuously.

6. Plug in and power on your PC and other home network devices. The LINK LED on the residential gateway corresponding to the connected devices should be on or blinking.

7. Once the residential gateway is online, most Internet devices will have immediate Internet access.
