2.1 Connecting your TG389ac to your service provider’s
network
Introduction
This section helps you to connect your TG389ac to your service provider’s network.
Procedure
Proceed as follows:
1Take an Ethernet cable. If your package contains an Ethernet cable with red connectors, you must use that cable.
2Plug one end of the cable in the red WAN port on the back of your TG389ac.
3Plug the other end of the cable into the Ethernet port of your Internet access device (for example, an optical network
terminal for Fiber).
If you use another Ethernet cable than the one included in you package, make sure that the Ethernet cable is a
fully wired CAT5E or CAT6 Ethernet cable.
The WAN port can only be used to connect your TG389ac to an Internet access device. You cannot use it to
connect other devices (for example, a computer) to the TG389ac.

2Plug the power supply unit into a nearby power outlet.
3Press the power button to turn on your TG389ac.
4The LED turns on. Wait at least two minutes to allow your TG389ac to complete the startup phase.
Only use the power supply unit that is supplied with your TG389ac. If your current power supply unit is broken,
contact your service provider or reseller.

2 Setting up your TG389ac
DMS3-CTC-25-154 v1.0
2.3 Connecting your wired devices
Requirements
Both your network device (for example, a computer, a gaming console,…) and your TG389ac must have a free Ethernet
port.
Your network device must be configured to obtain an IP address automatically. This should be the default setting.
Ethernet cable
In your package, you may find one or more cables with yellow connectors. These are Ethernet cables that you can use to
connect a local network device (a computer, an Ethernet printer, etc.).
Procedure
Proceed as follows:
1Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to one of the yellow Ethernet ports of your TG389ac:
2Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to your network device.
3Your device is now connected to your network.
To connect wireless clients, see “3 Wireless networking” on page 22.
To connect a set-top box for digital TV, first look for instructions in the documentation included in your package.
In some cases the set-top box will have to be connected to a dedicated Ethernet port (typically Ethernet port 4).
Your TG389ac does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE). All network devices that are connected to the
TG389ac must be powered by their own power source.
