How Do I Connect My Gateway for Internet and Telephone Service?
Connecting the Gateway for High-Speed Data and Telephone Service
WARNING:
To avoid personal injury, follow the installation instructions in the exact
order shown.
To prevent possible damage to equipment, disconnect any other telephone
service before connecting your cable modem to the same wires.
Hazardous electrical voltages can exist on the telephone ports on the
residential gateway and can be present on any connected wiring including
Ethernet wiring, telephone wiring and coax cable.
Telephone wiring and connections must be properly insulated to prevent
electrical shock.
Telephone connections to an installed home telephone wiring network
must 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.
Wiring and connections must be properly insulated to prevent electrical
shock.
Disconnect power from the residential gateway before attempting to
connect to any device.
1
Power off your PC and other networking device; then, unplug them from the
power source.
2
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).
3
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.
4
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).
