How Do I Connect My Devices to Use the Internet?
Connecting the Modem for High-Speed Data Service
WARNING:
To avoid personal injury or damage to your equipment, follow these steps in
the exact order shown.
1
Power off your PC and unplug it from the power source.
2
Connect your PC to either the
ETHERNET
port or the
USB
port using the
appropriate data cable. Do not connect your PC to both the Ethernet and USB
ports at the same time. You can connect two separate PCs to the wireless home
gateway at the same time by connecting one PC to the Ethernet port and one PC
to the USB port.
3
Connect the active RF coaxial cable to the
CABLE
connector. Use an optional
cable signal splitter to add a TV, a DHCT or set-top converter, or a VCR.
4
Insert the AC power cord into the
POWER
connector on the back of the wireless
home gateway, and then plug the cord into an AC power source.
5
Plug in and power on your networked devices including your PC. The wireless
home gateway will then begin an automatic search to locate and sign on to the
broadband data network. This process may take up to 5 minutes. The modem
will be ready for use when the
ONLINE
LED status indicator on the front panel
stops blinking and illuminates continuously.
6
The next step in setting up your wireless home gateway is to configure your
Internet devices for Internet access. Choose one of the following options:
If you want to use Ethernet connections, you must configure the TCP/IP
protocol. To configure the TCP/IP protocol, go to
How Do I Configure
TCP/IP Protocol?
(on page 20).
If you want to use USB connections, you must install the USB drivers. To
install the USB Drivers for USB, go to
How Do I Install USB Drivers?
(on page 23).
