Relationship among the Devices

This illustration shows a cable company that offers DOCSIS- and PacketCable-compliant voice/data services.

What the Modem Does

The Residential Voice Gateway provides wired and wireless high-speed Internet access as well as cost-effective, toll-quality telephone voice and fax/modem services over residential, commercial, and education subscribers on public and private networks via an existing CATV infrastructure. It can inter-operate with the PacketCable compliant head end equipment and provide the IP-based voice communications. The IP traffic can transfer between the Residential Voice Gateway and DOCSIS compliant headend equipment. The data security secures upstream and downstream communications.

What the Modem Needs to Do Its Job

The Right Cable Company: Make sure your local cable company provides data services that

use cable TV industry-standard DOCSIS-compliant and PacketCable-compliant technology.

The Internet/Telephony Service Provider (ISP/TSP): Your cable company provides you

access to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) and Telephony Service Provider (TSP). The ISP is your gateway to the Internet and provides you with a pipeline to access Internet content on the World Wide Web (WWW). The TSP provides you with telephony access to other modems or other telephony services over the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).

Chapter 1: Connections and Setup

Check with your cable company to make sure you have everything you need to begin; they’ll know if you need to install special software or re-configure your computer to make your cable internet service work for you.

Contact Your Local Cable Company

You will need to contact your cable company to establish an Internet account before you can use your gateway. You should have the following information ready (which you will find on the sticker on the gateway):

The serial number

The model number

The Cable Modem (CM) Media Access Control (MAC) address

The Terminal Adapter (EMTA) MAC address

Please verify the following with the cable company

The cable service to your home supports DOCSIS compliant two-way modem access.

Your internet account has been set up. (The Media Terminal Adapter will provide data service if the cable account is set up but no telephony service is available.)

You have a cable outlet near your PC and it is ready for Cable Modem service.

Note: It is important to supply power to the modem at all times. Keeping your modem plugged in will keep it connected to the Internet. This means that it will always be ready whenever you need.

Important Information

Your cable company should always be consulted before installing a new cable outlet. Do not attempt any rewiring without contacting your cable company first.

Chapter 1: Connections and Setup

Connecting the Residential Voice Gateway to a Single Computer

This section of the manual explains how to connect your Residential Voice Gateway to the Ethernet port on your computer and install the necessary software. Please refer to Figure 1 to help you connect your Digital Cable Modem for the best possible connection.

Attaching the Cable TV Wire to the Residential Voice Gateway

1. Locate the Cable TV wire. You may find it one of three ways:

a. Connected directly to a TV, a Cable TV converter box, or VCR. The line will be connected to

the jack which should be labeled either IN, CABLE IN, CATV, CATV IN, etc.

b. Connected to a wall-mounted cable outlet.

c. Coming out from under a baseboard heater or other location. See Figure 1 for the wiring

example.

Notes: For optimum performance, be sure to connect your Residential Voice Gateway to the first point the cable enters your home. The splitter must be rated for at least 1GHz.
