IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS – POWER SUPPLY INSTALLATION. Connect the power supply
cord to the power jack on the Motorola Gateway. Plug the power supply into an appropriate electrical outlet.
CAUTION: Depending on the power supply provided with the product, either the direct plug-in power supply
blades, power supply cord plug or the appliance coupler serves as the mains power disconnect. It is impor-
tant that the direct plug-in power supply, socket-outlet or appliance coupler be located so it is readily acces-
sible.

Adding wireless clients to your network is easier using Wireless Protected Setup (WPS).
Older, non-WPS clients can still be added to the network by configuring them the stan-
dard way with WPA-PSK.
Make sure your wireless clients are running. Press the WPS push-button to begin the
exchange, which may last up to two minutes.
Do not power off your Gateway during the exchange.
The Gateway will display a success message when the exchange has completed.
Note: Not all client wireless devices support WPS. Refer to their documentation.

Q: Why is my DSL light flashing green?
A: A flashing green light indicates that no cable is attached to the DSL port or that the
Motorola Netopia®Gateway is negotiating a connection. A solid green DSL light indicates
that an internet connection is established.
If your DSL light does not become solid green, verify that the connection from the Motor-
ola Netopia®Gateway’s DSL port to the telephone/DSL jack is secure. If the connection
is secure, contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider) to verify that your DSL line is func-
tioning properly.
Q: I forgot my password, how can I access my Motorola Netopia®Gateway?
A: If you don't have a password, the only way to access the Motorola Gateway is the fol-
lowing:
Referring to the following diagram, find the round Reset Switch opening.
Carefully insert the point of a pen or an
unwound paperclip into the opening.
• If you press the factory default button for
less than 1/2 a second, the unit will con-
tinue to run as normal.
• If you press the factory default button for
more than 15 seconds, when you release it, the Gateway will perform a factory reset,
clear all settings and configurations, and reboot.
Note: To assure the Motorola Netopia®Gateway factory defaults you MUST hold the reset switch for more
than 15 seconds. When you release it, the Gateway will perform a factory reset, clear all setting and configurations,
and reboot. Keep in mind that all of your settings will need to be reconfigured.

This section gives some simple suggestions for troubleshooting problems with your Gateway’s
initial configuration.
Before troubleshooting, make sure you have
• plugged in all the necessary cables (see “Connections” on page 4); and
• set your PC’s TCP/IP controls to obtain an IP address automatically (see “Client Configu-
ration” on page 11).
The first step in troubleshooting is to check the status indicator lights (LEDs) in the order out-
lined below.

If a status indicator light does not look correct, look for these possible problems:
If LED is
not Lit Possible problems
Power
• Make sure the power switch is in the ON position.
• Make sure the power adapter is plugged into the DSL Gateway properly.
• Try a known good wall outlet.
• Replace the power supply and/or unit.
DSL
• Make sure that any telephone has a microfilter installed.
• Make sure that you are using the correct cable. The DSL cable is the thin-
ner standard telephone cable.
• Make sure the DSL cable is plugged into the correct wall jack.
• Make sure the DSL cable is plugged into the DSL port on the DSL Gate-
way.
• Make sure the DSL line has been activated at the central office DSLAM.
• Make sure the DSL Gateway is not plugged into a micro filter.

19
ENGLISH
Ethernet
1,2,3,4
• Make sure you are using the Ethernet cable, not the DSL cable. The Ether-
net cable is thicker than the standard telephone cable.
• Make sure the Ethernet cable is securely plugged into the Ethernet jack on
the PC.
• Make sure the Ethernet cable is securely plugged into the Ethernet port on
the DSL Gateway.
• Try another Ethernet cable if you have one available.
• Make sure you have Ethernet drivers installed on the PC.
• Make sure the PC’s TCP/IP Properties for the Ethernet Network Control
Panel is set to obtain an IP address via DHCP.
• Make sure the PC has obtained an address in the 192.168.1.x range. (You
may have changed the subnet addressing.)
• Make sure the PC is configured to access the Internet over a LAN.
• Disable any installed network devices (Ethernet, HomePNA, wireless) that
are not being used to connect to the DSL Gateway.
