How Do I Connect Ethernet Network Devices?
23
To connect Ethernet devices
Read the warnings and caution on this page. Then, follow the subsequent
installation procedures to ensure proper gateway cable modem 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, earlier in this
guide.
2. Connect an Ethernet port on the gateway cable modem to your PC.
3. Connect additional Ethernet network devices using the other Ethernet
ports on the gateway cable modem, or by connecting an Ethernet hub or
router to the gateway cable modem.
4.
Connect the active RF coaxial cable to the CABLE connector on the back
of the gateway cable modem. 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 adapter cord into
the DC POWER connector on the back of the gateway cable modem, and
then plug the power adapter into an AC power source.
6. The gateway cable modem 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 gateway cable modem is ready for use when
the CABLE status indicator on the front panel stops blinking and
illuminates continuously.
7. Verify that all Ethernet network devices are working properly.
You will not be able to check the Ethernet front panel status
indicators on the gateway cable modem until after two or more Ethernet
network devices are connected to the gateway cable modem.
WARNING:
• Hazardous electrical
voltages can be
present on any
connected wiring.
Ethernet wiring and
connections must be
properly insulated to
prevent electrical
shock. Disconnect
power from the
gateway cable
modem before
attempting to
connect to any
device.
• To avoid personal
injury, follow these
steps in the exact
order shown.
CAUTION:
To prevent possible
damage to the
equipment, disconnect
any other service
before connecting
your gateway cable
modem to other
devices.
