4 Connect your PC to the residential gateway using either of the following
methods:

Ethernet Connection. Connect one end of the yellow Ethernet cable to the
Ethernet port on your PC, and connect the other end to the yellow
ETHERNET port on the back of the residential gateway .
Note: To install more Ethernet devices than ports provided on the residential
gateway, use an external multi-port Ethernet switch(s).

Wireless Connection. Make sure that your wireless device is powered up.
You will need to associate your wireless device with the wireless gateway
once the residential gateway is operational. Follow the directions provided
with your wireless device for associating with a wireless access point.
More information about the factory default configuration of your wireless
residential gateway can be found later in Configure Wireless Settings (on
page 80).
5 If your residential gateway supports digital telephone service (VoIP), connect
one end of a telephone jumper cable (not included) to a telephone outlet in your
home or to a telephone or fax machine. Then connect the other end of the
jumper cable to the appropriate RJ-11 TELEPHONE port on the back of the
residential gateway. The telephone ports are light gray and are labeled 1/2 and 2
or 1 and 2 depending on the region of the world the residential gateway is used.

6 Locate the AC power cord provided with your residential gateway. Insert one
end of the power cord into the AC connector on the back of the residential
gateway. Then, plug the AC power cord into an AC outlet to power-up the
residential gateway. The residential gateway will perform an automatic search to
locate and sign on to the broadband data network. This process may take up to 2-
5 minutes. The residential gateway will be ready for use when the POWER, DS,
US and ONLINE LEDs on the front panel of the residential gateway stop
blinking and remain on continuously.
7 Plug in and power on your PC and other home network devices. The LINK LED
on the residential gateway corresponding to the connected devices should be on
or blinking.

Make sure to connect your telephone service to the correct RJ-11 port. For
single line telephone service, connect to port 1/2 or 1.
In North America, residential gateways have multi-line capability on the
RJ-11 telephone port labeled 1/2. Line 1 is on pins 3 and 4 of port 1/2,
and Line 2 is supported on pins 2 and 5. In Europe, residential gateways
support only one line per port. Line 1 is on port 1 and line 2 is on port 2.
Telephones that require electrical connectors other than RJ-11 may
require an external adapter (sold separately).
