Install the Wireless Residential Voice Gateway
This section describes how to connect your residential gateway to support the
services that the residential gateway offers.
Important: If you have not already done so, insert the battery in the residential
gateway before you mount the residential gateway on a wall (if desired) or before
you install the residential gateway in your home. For assistance inserting the battery
in the residential gateway, go to Install the Battery (on page 13).
Connect the Wireless Residential Voice Gateway
The following installation procedure ensures proper setup and configuration for the
residential gateway.
1
Choose an appropriate and safe location to install the residential gateway (close
to a power source, an active cable connection, and your PC-if using high-speed
Internet). For assistance, go to Where Is the Best Location for My Wireless
Residential Voice Gateway? (on page 12).
2
Power off your PC and other networking device; then, unplug them from the
power source.
3
Connect the active RF coaxial cable from your service provider to the coax
connector labeled CABLE on the back of the residential gateway.
Note: To connect a TV, DHCT, set-top, or VCR from the same cable connection,
you will need to install a cable signal splitter (not included). Always check with
your service provider before using a splitter as a splitter may degrade the signal.
4
Connect your PC to the residential gateway using either of the following
connections:
Ethernet Connection: Locate the yellow Ethernet cable, connect one end of
the 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 mulit-port Ethernet switch(s).
