USB Connection - Using the Installation Wizard
If you received an Installation/Quick Start kit with the purchase of your modem, you should use
the software provided in that kit. If not, the Digital Cable Modem CD included with your modem
contains the drivers, Installation Wizard, and other information you need to install your EMTA
Gateway. The Installation Wizard serves as your step-by-step guide to connecting and
configuring your device.
1. Before you begin, close all open applications and dialog boxes as they may interfere with your
EMTA Gateway installation.
2. Insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive of your computer. A menu of options appears.
3. Click “Install RCA Cable Modem.” If the options menu does not automatically appear:
A. Go to the “Start” menu on the Windows menu bar, then click “Run.”
B. Type the location of the CD-ROM drive followed by “:\Thomson.exe”. (E.g., if your
CD-ROM is located on the E: drive, type E:\ Thomson.exe)
C. Click “OK” to begin installation.
4. The Installation Wizard checks your computer to make sure you have the minimum
configuration specifications required to install the EMTA Gateway.
5. The Installation Wizard prompts you to attach a coaxial cable to the connector labeled CABLE
on your EMTA Gateway, and to the wall connection for your cable service.
If you’re using a splitter, click on “Installing a splitter.” The splitter diagram appears. When
you’re finished, hit the “Back” button.
6. Click “Next” to go to the next screen.
7. The Installation Wizard prompts you to attach the power supply. Use only the power supply
that accompanied this unit. Using other power supplies may damage the unit.
A. Insert the plug from the AC power supply into the POWER AC ADAPTER jack on your EMTA
Gateway.
