Printer Connection To connect a printer to the gateway, connect the printer cable to the PRINT port of the gateway, as shown in the figure, above.

To use your gateway as a print server, allowing you to share one printer across your home network, see Chapter 5 of this user manual for more details.

Power To supply power to the gateway, insert the power adapter plug in the power connector of the gateway (see “Left Side Panel” on page 4). Then, power up the devices of your home network in the following order:

■Modem

■Home Ethernet Gateway

■Other devices (computers, printer, etc.)

Self-Test Phase

Once the gateway is powered up, it will automatically enter self-test phase. When it is in self-test phase, the WAN and Status LEDs (see “Top Panel” on page 4) will illuminate for about 5 seconds, and then flash three times to indicate that the self-test has finished. Finally, the Status LED will flash once per second to indicate that the gateway is operating normally.
