Hardware Installation This section details the cable connection procedures for the Home Ethernet Gateway.
Computer Connection To create your home network, connect an Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port of your computers to one of the Ethernet ports of the gateway, as shown in the figure, below.
All networked computers must have Ethernet networking capabilities to connect to the gateway.
Modem Connection There are two ways to connect modems to the gateway: using the WAN port (if you are using a cable or DSL modem), or the COM port (if you are using an analog or ISDN modem)
Cable or DSL Modem Connection
To connect a cable or DSL modem to the gateway, use one of the included Ethernet cables to connect the WAN port of the gateway to your modem, as shown in the figure below. See your cable or DSL modem documentation for more details.
