How Do I Connect My Gateway for Internet and Telephone Service?

5Connect one end of a telephone jumper cable (not included) to a telephone outlet in your home or to a telephone or fax machine. Then connect the other end of the jumper cable to the appropriate RJ-11 TELEPHONE port on the back of the residential gateway. The telephone ports are light gray and are labeled 1/2 and 2 or 1 and 2 depending on the region of the world the residential gateway is used.

Notes:

Make sure to connect your telephone service to the correct RJ-11 port. For single line telephone service, connect to port 1/2 or 1.

In North America, residential gateways have multi-line capability on the RJ-11 telephone port labeled 1/2. Line 1 is on pins 3 and 4 of port 1/2, and Line 2 is supported on pins 2 and 5. In Europe, residential gateways support only one line per port. Line 1 is on port 1 and line 2 is on port 2.

Telephones that require electrical connectors other than RJ-11 may require an external adapter (sold separately).

6Locate the AC power cord provided with your residential gateway. Insert one end of the power cord into the AC connector on the back of the residential gateway. Then, plug the AC power cord into an AC outlet to power-up the residential gateway. The residential gateway will perform an automatic search to locate and sign on to the broadband data network. This process may take up to 2- 5 minutes. The modem will be ready for use when the POWER, DS, US and ONLINE LEDs on the front panel of the residential gateway stop blinking and remain on continuously.

7Plug in and power on your PC and other home network devices. The LINK LED on the residential gateway corresponding to the connected devices should be on or blinking.

8Once the residential gateway is online, most Internet devices will have immediate Internet access.

Note: If your PC does not have Internet access, refer to Frequently Asked Questions (on page 94) for information on how to configure your PC for TCP/IP. For Internet devices other than PCs, refer to the DHCP or IP Address configuration section of the User Guide or Operations Manual for those devices.
