1. Decide on a location for the 2247-N8.
Put the 2247-N8 near an AC wall outlet (the power source) and a
phone jack activated for DSL, in a cool location where none of the
2247-N8’s vents will be blocked.
Caution: If the location is too hot or the vents are blocked, the high
temperature could cause the 2247-N8 to malfunction.
2. Connect the 2247-N8 to the DSL service:
Plug the telephone cable (included gray cord) into the gray DSL
port on the back of the 2247-N8.
Plug the other end of the telephone cable into a phone jack acti-
vated for DSL.

Wireless (Wi-Fi) Network Setup
Windows 7/XP/Vista Windows 8 Mac OS X
The 2247-N8 Wi-Fi Gateway has a default network "name," or SSID (service set identifier) that uses a unique 8-digit number in the format “xxxx
xxxx”. The 2247-N8 broadcasts this unique network name so that wireless computers and other devices can detect it.
With the 2247-N8 installed and on, use the following steps to add
devices to the wireless network.
TIP: Because your computer detects the strongest wireless networks
first, position it close (within 10 feet) to the 2247-N8, if you can, to ensure
that you are connecting to your 2247-N8.
Motorola 2247-N8 DSL Wi-Fi Gateway User Guide

Click the wireless tray icon, open the wireless settings panel, or click
the AirPort menu (depending on your operating system).
2. Find the network ID for your 2247-N8 in the wireless networks list
and connect your computer to the network. If you have difficulty
connecting to the network, refer to the detailed instructions in “Add-
ing Devices to the Wireless Network” on page 49.

Auto Detection VPI/VCI: If this check box is selected (default setting), your 2247-N8 will attempt to detect the virtual circuit pairs in use by
trying the most common settings until one is found. Thereafter, the 2247-N8 will always attempt to use that pair. If the 2247-N8 cannot
detect the VPI/VCI set in use, you can clear the check box, and enter the values manually. VPI 0 and VPI 35 and VPI 8 and VCI 35 are the most
common virtual circuit pairs used. Always try auto-detection first and then contact your service provider if another value is required.
Encapsulation: ether-llc (this is the only option)
