2Connect the First Computer to the GatewayCongratulations on the purchase of your 2Wire gateway. To install your gateway and configure your network, follow these steps.Note: Features for different models may vary. Product details will be specified for each particular model.Choose a Computer and Connection TypeThere are many ways to set up your network, but typically the first computer is located in the same room as the gateway and your DSL connection. Ethernet is the preferred connection method for your first computer, although instructions for connecting via wireless and USB are also provided.The first computer you connect to the network is used to configure the 2Wire gateway for proper operation. Choose one of the following methods to connect your first computer to the gateway. Save and close all open programs before you begin connecting your gateway.Install the DSL FilterNote: New DSL customers only. Existing DSL customers with filters already installed should proceed to Ethernet Connection on page 4, Wireless Connection on page 5, or USB Connection on page 8.Regular telephone and Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) signals are carried over the same line. Converting your regular telephone line to DSL can cause high-pitched tones and static when using the phone.Installing a filter on every telephone or telephone device sharing the same telephone number as your DSL1 separates these signals and eliminates the noise.Connection Type PageEthernet page 4Wireless page 5USB page 81. Do not install DSL filters if your telephone line is only carrying a DSL signal.
Connect the First Computer to the Gateway3To install the DSL filter:1. Locate the phone jack where you want to connect your 2Wire gateway.2. Insert the DSL filter into the jack.3. If you have a phone, answering machine, fax machine, satellite TV equipment, or other phone device in this jack location, plug it into the filter port labeled PHONE.4. Install a DSL filter on all other phone devices in your house (such as dial-up modems, fax machines, caller ID devices, and set top boxes). Plug each of these devices into the filter port labeled PHONE.For Wall-Mounted PhonesIf you have a wall-mounted telephone, install a wall-mount DSL filter following these steps.Note: The extra phone jack located at the bottom of the filter (labeled LINE) is provided should you wish to connect your gateway at this phone connection.1. Lift the telephone from the wall pegs and disconnect the phone cord from the wall jack.2. Connect the telephone cord from the back of the DSL filter into the wall jack. Align the keyhole slots on the filter with the wall plate pegs and press down gently to secure.3. Connect the telephone cord to the phone jack located on the front of the mounted filter.4. Attach the telephone to the mounting pegs on the DSL filter and your installation is complete.

This step could take up to five minutes as the gateway searches for your broadband service.7. The gateway will now connect to the Internet. This process may take several minutes. If the registration screen opens, click the REGISTER button and complete the 2Wire registration process.
19Appendix B: Back-Up Key CodesIn most cases, you will receive a key code from your ISP. This key code is used to activate the 2Wire gateway. If you did not receive a key code, you can use the key codes provided in the following table.If your Internet Service Provider did not provide you with a user name, password, or IP address to set up your Internet connection, your broadband connection most likely uses DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) and you should use this key code.52EU-2374-2262-22AT-B222If your Internet Service Provider gave you a PPPoE username and password to set up your Internet connection, your broadband connection uses Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet and you should use this key code.52EU-2374-6262-22AS-B22YIf your Internet Service Provider assigned you an IP address to set up your Internet connection, your broadband connection uses static IP (Internet Protocol) and  you should use this key code.52EU-2374-2E66-22AS-B2TWIf your Internet Service Provider gave you a PPPoA username and password to set up your Internet connection, your broadband connection uses Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM. In this case, you would use this key code and Microsoft Dial-up Networking to connect to the Internet.52EU-2374-A222-22AS-B2QK
