If your ISP allocates IP information dynamically over a protocol other than
PPPoE, you do not need any further information. This configuration is
typical of cable connections.
To power up the Gateway:
1 Plug the power adapter into the power adapter socket located on the
back panel of the Gateway.
2 Plug the power adapter into a standard electrical wall socket.
The first step for installing your Gateway is to physically connect it to a
cable or DSL modem and then connect it to a computer in order to be
able to access the Internet. See
