Connect the Wireless Residential Voice Gateway
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, and your telephone lines-if using VoIP). For assistance, see
Where Is the
Best Location for My Wireless Residential Voice Gateway?
(on page 14).
WARNING:
To prevent possible damage to equipment, disconnect any other telephone
service before connecting your residential gateway to the same wires.
Hazardous electrical voltages can exist on the telephone, Ethernet, or coax
cable wiring. Be sure to disconnect AC power from all devices while
installing your service.
All wiring and connections must be properly insulated to prevent
electrical shock.
Telephone connections to an installed home telephone wiring network
should be done by a qualified installer. The cable telephone service
provider may offer professional installation and connection to the home
telephone wiring network. A fee may be charged for this service.
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 one of the following methods:
Ethernet Connection.
Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet
port on your PC, and connect the other end to the
Ethernet
port on the back
of the residential gateway.
Wireless Connection
. Make sure that your wireless device is powered up.
You will need to associate your wireless device with the residential gateway
once the residential gateway is operational. Follow the directions provided
with your wireless device for associating with a wireless access point. Make
sure that either the
2.4G
or the
5G
indicator is ON.
