How Do I Connect USB Network Devices?
Note: Verify that you have installed the USB drivers on your PC before continuing
with these instructions. See How Do I Install USB Drivers? (on page 23), for more
information on installing the USB drivers.
1 Select locations for USB network devices. For more information, see How Do I
Select and Place USB Network Devices? (on page 30).
2 Connect the USB port on the wireless home gateway to your computer.
3 Connect one or more USB network device to the wireless home gateway.
Note: If you want to connect more than one USB network device to the wireless
home gateway or to your computer, you will need to purchase and install a USB
hub.
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. 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 USB 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 at least one USB network device is connected
and operating on the network.
