Setting Up
the Gateway
The instructions that follow parallel the steps contained in the Actiontec Installation
Buddy
™
,which provides a visual guide to setting up the Gateway. It is recommended
the user run the Installation Buddy first, before attempting any other procedures.
To set up the Gateway, it must be connected to a computer, and then configured.
After connecting this first computer, other computers can be added to the network
via USB,Ethernet, or wirelessly (see “Building a Network” on page 57).
Warning!
Read the following two sections (Alarm System, Automatic Water Heater)
before proceeding with any installation!
Alarm System
If your home or business has an alarm system and Qwest DSL shares the same
phone line, you have special wiring needs. If you did not order a technician install
at the time of sale, please contact Qwest Sales as soon as possible to order and
schedule your installation.
If you security alarm is wired incorrectly, it may not be able to make a notification
call when the alarm is triggered. Professional wiring is required to insure interoper-
ability. Do not attempt the installtion yourself. Qwest strongly recommends that
you contact your security organization for more information about your security
alarm system before you attempt to install Qwest DSL. Qwest also strongly recom-
mends that you contact your security organization after installing Qwest DSL to
have them conduct a test of your alarm system.
Automatic Water Meter
If your home or office has an automatic water meter that uses the same phone line
as the Qwest DSL Gateway, you must put a DSL Phone Filter on the water meter.
Call your water company for help when installing the DSL Phone Filter on your
water meter.
