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.
Wiring and connections must be properly insulated to prevent electrical
shock.
Disconnect power from the residential gateway before attempting to
connect to any device.
6
Power off your PC and other networking device; then, unplug them from the
power source.
7
Connect the active RF coaxial cable from your service provider to the coax
connector labeled
CABLE
on the back of the gateway.
Note:
To connect a TV, DHCT, set-top box, or VCR from the same cable
connection, you will need to install a cable signal splitter (not included).
8
Locate the yellow Ethernet cable. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the
Ethernet port on your PC and then connect the other end to one of the
ETHERNET
ports on the gateway (any Ethernet port can be used). The Ethernet
ports are yellow connectors on the back panel of the gateway.
9
Connect additional Ethernet network devices in a similar fashion to any unused
Ethernet ports on the back of the gateway.
Note:
To install more Ethernet devices than ports provided, use an external
multi-port Ethernet switch(s).
10
Locate the AC power adapter provided with your gateway. Insert the barrel
shaped DC power connector (attached by a thin pair of wires to the AC power
adapter) into the black
POWER
connector on the back of the residential gateway.
Then, plug the AC power cord into an AC outlet to power-up the gateway. The
residential gateway will perform an automatic search to locate and sign on to the
broadband data network. This process may take up 2-5 minutes. The modem will
be ready for use when the POWER, DS, US and ONLINE LEDs on the front panel
of the gateway stop blinking and remain ON continuously.
11
Plug in and power on your PC and other home network devices. The
ETHERNET LEDs on the gateway corresponding to the connected devices
should be ON or BLINKING.
12
Once the gateway is online, most Internet devices will have immediate Internet
access.
Note:
If your PC does not have Internet access, refer to
How Do I Configure
TCP/IP Protocol?
(on page 100) for information on how to configure your PC for
Internet access. For Internet devices other than PCs, refer to the DHCP or IP
Address configuration section of the User Guide or Operations Manual for those
devices.
