For more information, go to the gateway configuration page at http://192.168.1.254 4 Chapter 1 Introduction Gathering items for installation To install the gateway, you will need:
Gateway Power adapter DSL cable Ethernet cable (optional), to connect a computer directly to the gateway using a wired connection Phone cable (optional), for connecting voice telephone service Gateway stand (optional), for installing the gateway vertically DSL filter (optional), for each phone on the same line as the gateway Finding a suitable location Before you install the gateway, find an appropriate location for it. Set up the gateway near the main computer or any other device that will connect to it through the wired Ethernet ports. The gateway also serves as a wireless access point, so you should consider the wireless network when choosing the location for the gateway. Consider the following when determining the location of the gateway:
Place the gateway at least 5 ft (1.5 m) from cordless phones, microwave ovens, or other electronic devices to avoid potential interference, and at least 6 in (15 cm) from your television to avoid audio hissing or static. Place the gateway in an open area to minimize interference from its surroundings. Wireless signal strength is much stronger in an open area than an area with obstructions. In a single-story building, place the gateway as high and as close to each wireless device as possible. Keep the gateway away from large metal objects. Metal objects can reflect or obstruct signals, which can negatively impact wireless signal quality. Keep the gateway away from water sources like water coolers or aquariums. Note: We recommend that you use the included stand to install the gateway vertically. This prevents things from being stacked on top of it, which can block vents and cause the gateway to overheat.

Converting your regular phone line to DSL can cause high-pitched tones and static when you use the phone. To eliminate the noise, you can install DSL filters on every phone or phone device that shares the same phone number as your DSL. You need one DSL filter for each phone device (such as a desktop phone, analog modem, FAX, or answering machine). If you have several phone devices connected to each other and are using a single phone jack, install only one DSL filter between the phone jack and the first device in the series. Note: Do not install a DSL filter on the line that is connected to the DSL gateway. Installing a DSL inline filter To use a filter with most phone devices, you must install the DSL filter between the device and the phone jack. 1. Connect the cable from your device to the DSL filter. 2. Connect the cable from the DSL filter to your phone jack. Chapter 2 Installing the Gateway 7 Installing a DSL wall filter To use a DSL filter with a wall-mounted phone, install the DSL filter between the original wall plate and your wall-mounted phone. 1. Lift the phone from the wall pegs, and disconnect the phone cord from the phone jack. 2. Connect the phone cord from the back of the DSL filter into the phone jack, and mount the filter on the wall plate pegs using the keyhole slots. 3. Connect the phone cable to the phone jack located on the front of the mounted DSL filter. Note: Note: If you have a DSL modem, you can connect it to the DSL port at the bottom of the filter. 4. Attach the phone to the mounting pegs on the DSL filter. To gateway
(optional) 8 Chapter 2 Installing the Gateway Connecting the power adapter The power adapter supplies power to the gateway. Always use the power adapter that was packaged with the gateway because it matches the power requirements of the gateway and it complies with local requirements. 1. Connect one end of the power adapter to the POWER port on the gateway. 2. Connect the cables other end to an electrical outlet. After the gateway is powered on, the power light blinks green for a moment and then turns steady green. Connecting the gateway to the Internet Connect the gateway to the Internet using the DSL Broadband port. 1. Connect one end of the green DSL cable to the green DSL Broadband port on the gateway. 2. Connect the other end of the DSL cable to the wall jack. After the gateway recognizes the connection, the Broadband light blinks green for a moment and then turns steady green. Connecting computers to the gateway You can connect your computers and devices to the gateway using a wired connection or a wireless connection. With either type of connection, you can use the first computer that you connect to the network to set up the gateway. Connecting devices using a wired connection The gateway has four wired Ethernet ports that you can use to connect computers or other devices. 1. Connect one end of the yellow Ethernet cable to one of the yellow Ethernet ports on the gateway. 2. Connect the other end of the cable to the Ethernet port on the computer. You can connect up to four computers to the gateway using the wired Ethernet ports. Note: A 6-foot yellow Ethernet cable is provided with the gateway. If you need an additional or longer cable, use a Cat 5 or Cat 5e Ethernet cable. After the gateway recognizes the computer, the Ethernet light turns steady green, and blinks when the computer starts transferring data with the gateway. Chapter 2 Installing the Gateway 9 Connecting devices using a wireless connection The gateway has an integrated wireless access point that you can use to connect wireless devices to the gateway. By default, the gateway is configured with a network name (SSID) and WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK security. 1. On the wireless device, view the available wireless networks. The specifics of how you do this depend on the device you are connecting. The default network name (SSID) and the encryption key (64-bit hex) is printed on the label on the side of the gateway. Mac OS X users might have to enter the $
character at the beginning of the encryption key. label 2. Select the appropriate network name and connect. 3. At the prompt, enter the encryption key. After the gateway recognizes the wireless device, the WIRELESS light turns steady green, and blinks when the wireless device starts transferring data with the gateway. You can use WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) to simplify the process of connecting wireless devices to the network. For more information, go to the gateway configuration page at http://192.168.1.254 10 Chapter 2 Installing the Gateway Connecting phones The gateway includes one RJ-14 port (Phone 1 & 2) with the capacity to support 2 phone lines using a splitter or multi-jack adapter. WARNING: Do not connect the VoIP lines to your current home telephone wiring, especially if your home has an alarm system. Ensure that you are subscribed to VoIP service before configuring VoIP on the gateway. 1. Connect one end of the phone cable to the gray Phone Lines 1 & 2 port on the gateway. 2. Do one of the following:
For one phone, connect the phone cable directly to the telephone. For two phones, connect the phone cable to a splitter and then to the telephones. 4 3 T T E E N N R R E E H H T T E E 4 3 T T E E N N R R E E H H T T E E 2 1 K R O W T E N E M O H 2 1 K R O W T E N E M O H E N O H P 2
