To install wireless network devices
Read the warnings and caution on this page. Then, follow the subsequent
installation procedures to ensure proper cable modem gateway operation when
using wireless network devices.
Follow these steps to install the cable modem gateway for accessing wireless
network devices.
1. Select locations for wireless network devices. For more information, see
How Do I Select and Place Wireless Network Devices?, earlier in this
guide.
2. Connect and install the wireless network device(s).
3.
Connect the active RF coaxial cable to the CABLE IN connector on the
back of the cable modem gateway. Use an optional cable signal splitter to
add a TV, a DHCT or set-top converter, or a VCR.
4. After all connections are complete, 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. The cable modem
gateway begins an automatic search to locate and sign on to the network
that provides the telephone service. This process may take up to 5
minutes. The cable modem gateway is ready for use when the CABLE
status indicator on the front panel stops blinking and illuminates
continuously.
Some cordless telephones can interfere with wireless signals.
Unplug and disconnect any cordless phones until your wireless network
is operating properly.
5. Verify that all wireless network devices are working properly. You will not
be able to check the wireless front panel status indicator on the cable
modem gateway until after one or more wireless network devices are
communicating with the cable modem gateway.
WARNING:
• Hazardous electrical
voltages can be
present on any
connected wiring.
Ethernet wiring and
connections must be
properly insulated to
prevent electrical
shock. Disconnect
power from the
cable modem
gateway before
attempting to
connect to any
device.
• To avoid personal
injury, follow these
steps in the exact
order shown.
CAUTION:
To prevent possible
damage to the
equipment, disconnect
any other service
before connecting
your cable modem
gateway to other
devices.
