What the Wireless Cable Gateway Does
The Digital Wireless Cable Gateway serves as a two-way high-speed bridge between your personal
computer and a cable Internet Service Provider (ISP). It converts information that originates from
the Internet or your computer into electronic messages that can be transported over the same
wires your cable company uses to transport video signals.
What the Wireless Cable Gateway Needs to Do Its Job
•The Right Cable Company: Make sure your cable company provides data services that use
cable TV industry-standard DOCSIS technology.
•The Internet Service Provider (ISP): Your cable company provides you access to an Internet
Service Provider (ISP). The ISP is your gateway to the Internet. It provides you with a pipeline
to access Internet content on the World Wide Web (WWW).

Chapter 1: Overview and Setup
System Overview
The Wireless Cable Gateway is connected between your cable company and the PCs within your
home, as pictured previously in the Wireless Cable Gateway Overview. The connection to the cable
company is made by a coaxial cable, and is referred to as the WAN (Wide Area Network) side of
your Wireless Cable Gateway. The connections to your PCs are made by your choice of several
standard home networking methods: Ethernet, USB, or 802.11g Wireless. These are referred to as
the LAN (Local Area Network) side of your Wireless Cable Gateway. Multiple PCs can use any or all
of the LAN side connections simultaneously to share your single cable company connection, up to
a maximum of 254 PCs total.
Unlike a simple hub or switch, the gateway’s setup consists of more than simply plugging
hardware together. You’ll need to configure your networked PCs to accept the IP addresses the
gateway assigns them (if applicable), and you will also need to configure the gateway with
settings provided by your cable company.
This installation guide takes you through all the necessary steps for easy installation. Please refer
to the troubleshooting section for any improper behavior.
Even if you consider to use the gateway in a wireless mode only, it is highly recommended to
perform all the settings through a wired connection: USB or Ethernet first.
• If you intend to connect the Gateway though USB, please go to Chapter 2, USB Connection,
page XX.
• If you intend to connect the Gateway though Enternet, please go to Chapter 2, Ethernet
Connection, page XX.
•If you already have a network card, follow the next section.
Your PC: Installing a PC Network Card
If your PC does not already support Ethernet or USB, you must install a network interface card.
Following is an example setup procedure:
1. Install an Ethernet card on your motherboard, following the card’s directions.
2. Power up your PC and follow the Add New Hardware Wizard’s instructions to install the
driver. When asked to restart your computer at the end of the installation, click Yes.
3. After restarting the system, right-click My Computer on the desktop, select Properties, click
the Device Manager tab, and then double-click Network adapters to confirm that the
Ethernet driver is properly installed.

Chapter 2: Connections and Setup
Mandatory User Configuration
This feature allows you to configure the gateway to function in your network and gain access to
the Internet through your cable company. Your ISP may require the use of a Host Name and
Domain Name. You will need to get the setup information from your ISP. If you do not have this
information, please contact your ISP before proceeding.
The instructions from your ISP will tell you how to set up your PC for Internet access.
Also, you must disable any Internet log-on software (such as Ivasion Winpoet or Enternet 300)
and any firewall software (such as ZoneAlarm and Watchdog) on all of your PCs.

1. Open your web browser. (It’s all right if you get an error
message at this point. Continue following these directions).
Enter http://192.168.100.1 in the browser’s Address field if
your gateway is in the CM Mode, or http://192.168.0.1 if it
is in the RG or CH Mode. Press the Enter key.
2. An Enter Network Password window appears (for Windows
XP users, the screen may look different). Leave the User
Name field empty, and enter admin in lowercase letters in
the Password field (admin is the default password). Then,
click the OK button.
3. If you are in CM or CH mode, the Basic webpage group
hyperlink is visible. In this case, select the Basic Setup web
page by using the hyperlinks in the sidebar at the left of the
screen. Otherwise, skip to step 4. Based on the setup
instructions from your cable company, you may need to
enter the following information.
LAN IP Address: The value for the gateway’s local IP address
is shown on the Setup screen. The default value is
192.168.0.1. We recommend you keep this setting.
Host Name and Domain Name: These fields allow you to
provide a host name and domain name for the gateway.
These fields are usually left blank. If requested by your cable
company, complete these two fields.
