To connect home phoneline networking devices

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 cable modem gateway 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 cable modem gateway to other devices.

Read the warnings and caution on this page. Then, follow the subsequent installation procedures to ensure proper cable modem gateway operation when connecting HPNA devices.

1.Select locations for your HPNA devices. For more information, see How Do I Select and Place Home Phoneline Networking Devices?, earlier in this guide.

2.Connect the HPNA port on the cable modem gateway to your wall telephone jack.

3.Connect the HPNA device(s).

It is essential that you connect the HPNA device(s) correctly. Most HPNA devices include two RJ-11 connectors. One connection is generally intended for connection to the wall jack and the other is intended as a filtered pass-through connection to telephones, fax machines, and telephone answering machines. This pass-through connection provides a mechanism to connect multiple phone devices to a single jack. If an HPNA device and telephone appliance need to share the wall jack and your HPNA device does not include a filtered pass- through connector, you will need to use a DSL filter with your phone Y- connector or splitter. These filters, connectors, and splitters are available from a variety of retailers.

Do not connect the HPNA device(s) using the pass-through connector to the wall telephone outlet.

4.Connect the active RF coaxial cable to the CABLE IN connector on the back of the cable modem gateway. 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 cable modem gateway, and then plug the power adapter into an AC power source. The cable modem gateway begins an automatic search to locate and sign on to the network that provides the telephone service. This process may take up to 5 minutes. The cable modem gateway is ready for use when the CABLE status indicator on the front panel stops blinking and illuminates continuously.

6.Verify that all HPNA devices are working properly. You will not be able to check the HPNA front panel status indicator on the cable modem gateway until after two or more HPNA devices are connected to the network.
