Connect the Data Gateway
1. Connect one end of the coax cable to the cable outlet or splitter, and the other end to
the Data Gateway’s Cable connector (4). Tighten the connections by hand, then tighten
an additional 1/8 turn with a wrench.
Note: For best performance, use high-quality coax cable and minimize or
eliminate splitters between the cable jack and the Data Gateway. If you are using
MoCA for your home network, MoCA filters must be installed on any legacy client
devices. Your service provider will install these filters for you.
2. Insert the plug from the power cord into the Power connector on the back of the Data
Gateway (8) and insert the power cord into a convenient AC outlet.
3. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to any Ethernet port on the back of the Data
Gateway, and the other end to the Ethernet port on a computer or other client device.
Note: Use the Ethernet cable included in the Data Gateway package.
