2 Installing Your Gateway

This chapter describes how to install the Gateway. The topics covered in this chapter are:

y Finding a Suitable Location (page 8) y Connecting to the LAN (page 9) y Connecting the WAN (page 10) y Powering on the Gate way (page 10)

SMCD3GNV4 and SMCD3GNV4E Wireless EMTA Gateway Administrator Manual

Finding a Suitable Location

You can install the Gateway in any location with access to the cable network. All of the cables connect to the rear panel of the Gateway for better organization and utility. The LED indicators on the front panel are easily visible to provide you with information about network activity and status.

For optimum performance, the location you choose should:

y Be close to a working AC power outlet y Allow sufficient air flow around the Gateway to keep the device as cool as possible y Not expose the Gateway to a dusty or wet environment y Be an elevated location such as a high shelf, keeping the number of walls and ceilings between the

Gateway and your other devices to a minimum

y Be away from electrical devices that are potential sources of interference, such as ceiling fans,

home security systems, microwaves, or the base for a cordless phone

y Be away from any large metal surfaces, such as a solid metal door or aluminum studs. Large

expanses of other materials such as glass, insulated walls, fish tanks, mirrors, brick, and concrete can also affect your wireless signal.

SMCD3GNV4 and SMCD3GNV4E Wireless EMTA Gateway Administrator Manual

Connecting to the LAN

Using an Ethernet LAN cable, you can connect the Gateway to a desktop computer, notebook, hub, or switch. The Gateway supports auto-MDI/MDIX, so you can use either a standard straight-through or crossover Ethernet cable.

4. Connect either end of an Ethernet cable to one of the four LAN ports on the rear panel of the Gateway (see Figure 3).

Figure 3. Connecting to a LAN Port on the Gateway Rear Panel

5. Connect the other end of the cable to your computer’s network-interface card (NIC) or to another network device (see Figure 4).

Figure 4. Connecting the Gateway to the a Laptop or Desktop Computer

SMCD3GNV4 and SMCD3GNV4E Wireless EMTA Gateway Administrator Manual

Connecting the WAN

To connect your Gateway to a Wide Area Network (WAN) interface:

6. Connect a coaxial cable from a cable port in your home or office to the port labeled Cable/MoCA on the rear panel of the Gateway (see Figure 2 on page 5). Use only manufactured coaxial patch cables with F-type connectors at both ends for all connections.

7. Hand-tighten the connectors to secure the connection.

8. If the modem was not installed by your cable provider (ISP) or is replacing another cable modem, contact your cable operator to register the Gateway. If the modem is not registered with your cable operator, it will not be able to connect to the cable network system.

Powering on the Gateway

After making your LAN and WAN connections, use the following procedure to power on the Gateway:

1. Connect the supplied power cord to the port labeled Power on the rear panel of the Gateway (see Figure 2 on page 5).

2. Connect the other end of the power cord to a working power outlet. The Gateway powers on automatically. The Power LED on the Gateway front panel goes ON and the other front panel LEDs show the Gateway’s status (see Table 1 on page 4).

WARNING: Only use the power cord supplied with the Gateway. Using a different power cord can damage your Gateway and void the warranty.
