4 Chapter 1 IntroductionIntroduction 1Your A5500 gateway is an advanced networking device that can be installed by you or your service provider. This all-in-one device includes the modem, router, wireless access point, firewall, and voice gateway.Your gateway supports ADSL, ADSL2, and ADSL2+ technology. It has four wired Ethernet ports, 802.11b/g/n wireless networking, and voice capabilities.Use WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) to simplify the process of connecting wireless devices to the network.

Chapter 1 Introduction 5Gathering items for installationTo install your gateway, you will need:•Gateway•Power adapter•DSL cable•Ethernet cables (optional), to connect your gateway to the Broadband interface or a computer directly to your gateway using a wired connection•Phone cable (optional), for connecting voice telephone service•Gateway stand (optional), for installing your gateway vertically•DSL filter (optional), for each phone on the same line as your gateway•Voice line splitter (optional), for connecting two phones to the FXS port (voice) of your gatewayFinding a suitable locationBefore you install your gateway, find an appropriate location for it. Set up your gateway near the main computer or any other device that will connect to it through the wired Ethernet ports.Your gateway also serves as a wireless access point. Wireless signals are affected by many items in homes and offices. Consider the following while determining the location of your gateway:•Place your gateway at least 5 ft (1.5 m) from cordless phones, microwave ovens, or other electronic devices to avoid potential interference, and at least 6 in (15 cm) from your television to avoid audio hissing or static.•Place your gateway in an open area to minimize interference from its surroundings. Wireless signal strength is much stronger in an open area than an area with obstructions. In a single-story building, place your gateway as high and as close to each wireless device as possible.•Keep your gateway away from large metal objects. Metal objects can reflect or obstruct signals, which can negatively impact wireless signal quality.•Keep your gateway away from water sources like water coolers or aquariums.Note: We recommend that you use the included stand to install your gateway vertically. This prevents you from stacking things on top of it, which can block vents and cause your gateway to overheat.
6 Chapter 2 Installing your gatewayInstalling your gateway 2Use the information in this chapter to connect your gateway to the Internet and to your home network.To install the gateway, complete the following steps:1. “Connecting the power adapter” on page 62. “Connecting the broadband interface through the Ethernet port” on page 73. “Connecting the broadband interface through the DSL port” on page 84. “Connecting computers to your gateway” on page 95. “Connecting phones” on page 116. “Connecting an IPTV set-top box” on page 127. “Configuring the gateway” on page 13Connecting the power adapterThe power adapter supplies power to your gateway. Always use the power adapter that was packaged with your gateway because it matches the power requirements of your gateway and it complies with local requirements.1. Connect one end of the power adapter to the power port on your gateway.2. Connect the other end of the cable to an electrical outlet.After your gateway is powered on, the POWER indicator blinks green for a moment and then turns steady green.
Chapter 2 Installing your gateway 7Connecting the broadband interface through the Ethernet portTo connect your gateway to a RJ-45 jack of your broadband router or Ethernet wall socket:1.

10 Chapter 2 Installing your gatewayConnecting devices using a wireless connectionYour gateway has an integrated wireless access point that you can use to connect wireless devices to your gateway. By default, your gateway is configured with a network name (SSID) and WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK security.1. On the wireless device, view the available wireless networks. The specifics of how you do this depend on the device you are connecting.The default network name (SSID) and the encryption key (64-bit hex) are printed on the label on the bottom right side of your gateway. Mac OS X users might have to enter the “$” character at the beginning of the encryption key.2. Select the appropriate network name and connect.3. At the prompt, enter the encryption key.USBLAN1234WANDSLFXS1&2RESETPOWER1/0EthernetcableComputerNot required for wireless setupLocation of the label containing the SSID and WiFi key
