How Do I Connect Ethernet Network Devices?
Read the warnings and caution. Then, follow the installation procedures later in this
guide to ensure proper wireless home gateway operation when connecting Ethernet
network devices.
1 Select locations for Ethernet network devices. For more information, see How Do
I Select and Place Ethernet Network Devices? (on page 30).
2 Connect the Ethernet port on the wireless home gateway to your PC.
3 Connect additional Ethernet network devices by connecting an Ethernet hub or
router to the wireless home gateway.
4 Connect the active RF coaxial cable to the CABLE connector on the back of the
wireless home gateway. Use an optional cable signal splitter to add a TV, a
DHCT or set-top converter, or a VCR.
5 After all connections are complete, insert the AC power cord into the POWER
connector on the back of the wireless home gateway, and then plug the cord into
an AC power source.
6 The wireless home gateway begins an automatic search to locate and sign on to
the network. In some unusual circumstances, this process may take up to 5
minutes. The wireless home gateway is ready for use when the ONLINE LED
status indicator on the front panel stops blinking and illuminates continuously.
7 Verify that all Ethernet network devices are working properly.
Note: You will not be able to check the front panel LED status indicator on the
wireless home gateway until after one or more Ethernet network devices are
connected to the wireless home gateway.
