halogen lamps (and other heat sources)
windows
large metal objects
reinforced concrete
televisions
music centers
uorescent lighting
burglar alarms
microwave ovens
computers, etc
About Your Handset

This illustration shows a cable company that offers DOCSIS- and PacketCable- compliant voice/data services.
1. How Does the Gateway Work?
The Advanced Cable Gateway provides high-speed Internet access as well as cost-effective, telephone voice and fax/modem services for residential subscribers over a CATV (cable TV) infrastructure. It can inter-operate with the PacketCable compliant head end equipment and provide IP-based voice
communications.TheIPtrafccantransferbetweentheAdvancedCable
Gateway and DOCSIS compliant head end equipment. The data security secures upstream and downstream communications.

2. What do you need to enjoy all services?
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.
Internet/Telephone Service Provider (ISP/TSP) : Your cable company provides you access to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) and Telephone 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 telephone access to other modems or other telephone services over the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).
Check with your cable company to make sure you have everything you need to begin.
Your cable company will know if you need to install special software or
re-congure your computer to make your cable internet service work for you.
Page 24
24
Parts and Putting them Together
3. Establish an Internet Account
You need to contact your cable company to establish an Internet account before you can use your Advance Cable Gateway.
You should have the following information ready (this can be found on the sticker attached to the Gateway):
The Serial Number•
The Model Number•
The Cable Modem (CM) Media Access Control (MAC) Address•
The Terminal Adapter (EMTA) MAC Address•
SSID, WPA2-PSK Information •
Please verify the following with the cable company
Your internet account has been set up. • (The Media Terminal Adapter will provide data service if the cable account is set up but no telephone service is available.)
You have a cable outlet near your PC and it is ready for Cable Modem • service.
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 rst.
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 be ready whenever you need it.

Ethernet Connection to One or Two Computers
Make the connections to the modem in the following sequence:
Connect one end of the coaxial cable to the cable connection on the wall, and the other end to the CABLE connector on the Advanced Cable Gateway.
Connect one end of the power cord into the 120V, 60Hz, 0.5A socket on the Advanced Cable Gateway and the other end into the power plug in the wall.
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable (straight-wired, see below) to the Ethernet port on the back of your computer and the other end to the ETHERNET port on the Advanced Cable Gateway.
Note: The Gateway is equipped with two Ethernet ports, making additional equipment unnecessary.
Note: Make sure that the Ethernet cable is straight-wired (not “null” or
crossover-wired).
However, you will need a crossover-type cable if you are connecting the Gateway to a hub or a hub within a port switch that provides the same function.

If you want to create hard wired connections to the ACG for more than two computers, you will need to purchase a Hub (Switch) for that purpose and the cabling necessary for those additional connections. Although a 10BaseT Hub or Switch can be used, it is not recommended. A 100BaseT Hub or Switch is recommended. Follow the installation guidelines that accompany this equipment.
Connecting More Than Two Computers
Telephone or Fax Connection
When properly connected, most telephone devices can be used with the Advanced Cable Gateway. Here is how to make that connection
