To install the cable modem gateway
The following installation procedure ensures proper cable modem gateway setup
and configuration. For detailed installation procedures for specific device types
and services, refer to the specific section for that device or service, later in this
guide. Use that diagram and the preceding diagram to assist you as you follow
these instructions.
Follow these steps to install the cable modem gateway correctly.
1. Power off all devices you are connecting to the cable modem gateway
and unplug them from all power sources.
2. Connect the devices you are connecting to the cable modem gateway
to the correct port using the appropriate data cable(s). Use an optional
cable signal splitter to add a TV, a DHCT or set-top converter, or a
VCR.
Refer to the appropriate section in this guide for installing the type
of networking you desire to use.
3. Insert the AC power adapter cord into the DC power connector on the
back of the cable modem gateway, and then plug the power adapter
into an AC power source.
4.
Connect the active RF coaxial cable to the CABLE IN connector. The
cable modem gateway will then begin an automatic search to locate
and sign on to the broadband data network. This process may take up
to 5 minutes. The cable modem gateway is ready for use when the
CABLE indicator on the front panel stops blinking and illuminates
continuously.
5. Plug in and power on your networked devices.
6. The next step in setting up your cable modem gateway is to configure
your Internet devices for Internet access. Choose one of the following
options:
• If you want to use Ethernet connections on your networking system,
you must configure the TCP/IP protocol. Go to How Do I Configure
TCP/IP Protocol?, next in this guide.
• If you want to use USB connections on your networking system,
you must install the USB drivers. Go to How Do I Install USB
Drivers?, later in this guide.
CAUTION: Do
not connect the same
device to more than
one port.
WARNING: To
avoid personal injury
or damage to your
equipment, follow
these steps in the
exact order shown.
