CHAPTER 2: Installing Your Gateway
Connecting the Phone Line
1.
Connect one end of the telephone line (gray) to the
PHONE LINE
port of your gateway.
2.
Connect the other end of the telephone line to the DSL Phoneline filter if one is used, or to
the telephone wall outlet.
Connecting Your Computer to the Gateway
There are two ways to connect your computer to the gateway: via Ethernet or Wireless. With either
connection, the first computer you connect to the network is used to configure the gateway for
proper operation.
Connecting via Ethernet Ports
You can directly connect up to four computers to the gateway using the Ethernet connection.
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable (yellow) to any available ETHERNET port (yellow) on the
gateway and the other end to the computer's Ethernet port.
You are now ready to start your gateway.
Note
A 6-foot Ethernet cable is provided with your gateway. Use a CAT5 RJ-45 cable if you
need additional or longer Ethernet cable.
