Relationship among the Devices
This illustration shows a cable company that offers DOCSIS and PacketCable-compliant voice/data services.
What the Modem Does
The Wireless Voice Gateway provides 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 Wireless Voice Gateway and DOCSIS compliant head-end equipment. The data security secures upstream and downstream communications.

Chapter 1: Connections and Setup
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).
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.

Chapter 1: Connections and Setup
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
•Security information: Service Set IDentifier (SSID), Encryption key / passphrase (WPA2-PSK by default), channel number. Default values are indicated underneath the modem on the sticker.
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 Wireless Voice Gateway to a Single Computer
This section of the manual explains how to connect your Wireless Voice Gateway to the USB or 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 Wireless 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 Wireless Voice Gateway to the first point the cable enters your home. The splitter must be rated for at least 1GHz.

Chapter 1: Connections and Setup
Important Connection Information
The Wireless Voice Gateway supports Ethernet connection.
Below are important points to remember before you connect the Wireless Voice Gateway.
For Ethernet connections, go to page 21.
For telephone and fax connections, go to page 23.
If you do not want to use the CD-ROM, follow instructions 1 through 4 to connect the Wireless Voice Gateway to the Ethernet port on your computer. Instructions must be followed in the order they
appear.
1.Connect one end of the coaxial cable to the cable connection on the wall, and the other end to the CABLE jack on the Wireless Voice Gateway.
2.Attaching power cord to Wireless Voice Gateway and plug into the AC outlet.

Chapter 1: Connections and Setup
Ethernet Connection to a Computer
Make the connection to the modem in the following sequence:
1.Connect one end of the coaxial cable to the cable connection on the wall, and the other end to the CABLE jack on the Wireless Voice Gateway.
2.Connect the plug from the AC power supply into the POWER AC ADAPTER jack on the Wireless Voice Gateway, and plug the power supply into an AC outlet.
Note: Use only the power supply that accompanied this unit. Using other adapters may damage the unit.
3.Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to an Ethernet port on the back of your computer, and the other end to the ETHERNET port on the Wireless Voice Gateway.

Chapter 1: Connections and Setup
Telephone or Fax Connection
When properly connected, most telephony devices can be used with the Wireless Voice Gateway just as with a conventional telephone service. To make a normal telephone call, pick up the handset; listen for a dial tone, then dial the desired number. For services such as call waiting, use the hook switch (or FLASH button) to change calls. The following procedures describe some of the possible connection schemes for using telephony devices with the Wireless Voice Gateway.
1.Connect a standard phone line cord directly from the phone (fax machine, answering machine, caller ID box, etc.) to one of the LINE jacks on the Wireless Voice Gateway.
2.If there is a phone line in your home which is NOT connected to another telephone service provider, connect a standard phone line cord from a jack on this line to one of the LINE jacks of the Wireless Voice Gateway. Connect a standard phone line cord directly from the phone (fax machine, answering machine, caller ID box, etc.) to one of the other jacks in the house that uses that line.
3.If you have a multi-line telephone, connect a standard phone line cord (not an RJ-14 type line cord) from the phone to the LINE jacks on the Wireless Voice Gateway. (Other phones can be added to each line by using standard phone line splitters.

Chapter 1: Connections and Setup
Turning on the Wireless Voice Gateway
After installing the Wireless Voice Gateway and turn it on for the first time (and each time the modem is reconnected to the power), it goes through several steps before it can be used. Each of these steps is represented by a different pattern of flashing lights on the front of the modem.
Note: All indicators flash once before the initialization sequence.
If both DS and US LEDs are flashing sequentially, it means the Wireless Voice Gateway is automatically updating its system software. Please wait for the lights to stop flashing. You cannot use your modem during this time. Do not remove the power supply, switch off (on/off switch) or reset the Wireless Voice Gateway during this process.
