Where is the Best Location for My Gateway Cable Modem?
The ideal location for your gateway cable modem is where it has access to outlets and other devices. Think about
the layout of your home or office, and consult with your cable service provider to select the best location for your
gateway cable modem.
Consider these recommendations:
•Position your PC and gateway cable modem so that they are located near an
AC power outlet.
•Position your PC and gateway cable modem so that they are located near an
existing cable input connection to eliminate the need for an additional cable
outlet. There should be plenty of room to guide the cables away from the
modem and the PC without straining or crimping them.
•Airflow around the gateway cable modem should not be restricted.
•Choose a location that protects the gateway cable modem from accidental
disturbance or harm.
•Read this user’s guide thoroughly before you decide where to place your
gateway cable modem.
What are the System Requirements for Internet Service?
To ensure that your gateway cable modem operates efficiently for high-speed Internet service, verify that all of the
Internet devices on your system meet or exceed the following minimum hardware and software requirements.
You will also need an active cable input line and an Internet connection.
Minimum System Requirements for a PC
•A PC with a Pentium MMX 133 processor or greater
•32 MB of RAM
•Web browsing software (Netscape or Internet Explorer)
•CD-ROM drive
Minimum System Requirements for Macintosh
•MAC OS 7.5
•32 MB of RAM
System Requirements for an Ethernet Connection
•A PC with Microsoft Windows 95 operating system (or later) with TCP/IP
protocol installed, or an Apple Macintosh computer with TCP/IP protocol
installed
•An active 10/100BaseT Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed PC
System Requirements for a USB Connection
•A PC with Microsoft Windows 98SE, ME, 2000, or XP operating system

How Do I Set Up My High-Speed InternetAccess Account?
Before you can use your gateway cable modem, you need to have a high-speed Internet access account. If you
do not have a high-speed Internet access account, you need to set up an account with your local cable service
provider. Choose one of the following two options.
I Do Not Have a High-Speed Internet Access Account
If you do not have a high-speed Internet access account, your cable service
provider will set up your account and become your Internet Service Provider
(ISP). Internet access enables you to send and receive e-mail, access the World
Wide Web, and receive other Internet services. When you contact your cable
service provider, they will ask you for the serial number, the Media Access
Control (MAC) address, and the WLAN data MAC address of the cable modem.
These numbers appear on a label located on the side of the gateway cable
modem. The serial number consists of a series of alphanumeric characters
preceded by S/N.The MAC address consists of a series of alphanumeric
characters preceded by MAC. The WLAN data MAC address consists of a series
of alphanumeric characters preceded by WLAN DATA MAC. See the following

To install the gateway cable modem
1. Power down your PC and unplug it from the power source.
2. Connect your PC to either the ETHERNET port or the USB port using the
appropriate data cable. Do not connect your PC to both the Ethernet and
USB ports at the same time. You can connect two separate PCs to the
gateway cable modem at the same time by connecting one PC to the
Ethernet port and one PC to the USB port.
3. Connect the active RF coaxial cable to the CABLE connector. Use an
optional cable signal splitter to add a TV, a DHCT or set-top converter, or
a VCR.
4. Insert the AC power adapter cord into the DC POWER connector on the
back of the gateway cable modem, and then plug the power adapter into
an AC power source.
5. Plug in and power on your networked devices including your PC. The
gateway cable modem will then begin an automatic search to locate and
sign on to the broadband data network. This process may take up to 5
minutes. The modem will be ready for use when the CABLE indicator on
the front panel stops blinking and illuminates continuously.
6. The next step in setting up your gateway cable modem is to configure
your Internet devices for Internet access. Choose one of the following
