Setting Up and Connecting the EVW32C

Use the following instructions to set up and connect the EVW32C. When the device is set
up and connected, refer to
configure the device.
Important: Subscribers must contact their service provider to enable Internet access,
wireless networking, and telephony (voice). In particular, voice service requires additional
steps for the service provider including canceling the previous telephone provider service,
porting the telephone number, and other tasks to minimize downtime during the transition.
Typically, the service provider initially configures and connects the device.
To set up the device:
1. Remove the contents from the device packaging.
2. Place the EVW32C in a central location, convenient for connecting to other devices,
such as PCs or gaming consoles. Do not situate the wireless voice gateway on the
floor.
 Ensure the EVW32C is installed upright in a standing position so that the LED
labels on the front panel of the device can be easily read. Affix the device stand to
the bottom of the unit (included with the product) to ensure balance. Positioning
your gateway horizontally or on it's side affects the wireless performance
dramatically, as the internal antennas won't be able to propagate the wireless
signal as designed.
 Place the EVW32C and wireless clients in open areas far away from metal objects,
transformers, heavy-duty motors, microwave ovens, refrigerators, fluorescent
lights, and other manufacturing equipment. These items can impact wireless
signals. A wireless signal can become weaker after it has passed through metal,
concrete, brick, walls, or floors. For additional information on wireless signals, see
