LAN Ethernet Ports (4)
The Ethernet ports connect devices to the Gateway via Ethernet cables to create
a local area network (LAN). The Ethernet ports are 100/1000 Mbps auto-sensing ports, and are equipped with two LEDs. If one LED is illuminated, the port
is operating at 100 Mbps; if both are illuminated, the port is operating at 1000
Mbps.
WAN Ethernet Port
The WAN Ethernet port connects the Gateway via Ethernet cable to the
Internet. It is a 100/1000 Mbps auto-sensing port, and equipped with two LEDs.
If one LED is illuminated, the port is operating at 100 Mbps; if both are illuminated, the port is operating at 1000 Mbps.
SFP Port
The SFP port connects the Gateway via SFP cable to the Internet. It is equipped
with one LEDs which, if illuminated, denotes that the port is operational.
MoCA Port
The MoCA port connects the Gateway via coaxial cable to the Internet. It is
equipped with two LEDs: a WAN LED (signifying the MoCA port is operating
as a WAN port), and a LAN LED (signifying the MoCA port is operating as a
LAN port).

Power cord.
Do not unplug the Power cord from the Gateway
M Caution:
during the reset process. Doing so may result in the loss of the
Gateway’s configuration information. If this occurs, reset the
Gateway again.
Connecting the
Gateway
Connecting a computer or local network to the Gateway is a simple procedure,
varying slightly depending on the computer’s operating system, and designed to
seamlessly integrate the Gateway with the computer or local network. Moreover,
zero-configuration is attained when taking advantage of Universal Plug-and-Play
support in Windows XP.
The Windows default network settings dictate that in most cases, the setup procedure described in the “Computer Network Configuration” will be unnecessary.
For example, the default DHCP setting in Windows 2000 is “client,” requiring no
further modification.
However, Actiontec advises following the setup procedure described below to verify all
communication parameters are valid and the physical cable connections are correct.
Setting Up the Gateway
There are three parts to setting up the Gateway: Connecting the Cables,
Configuring the Gateway, and Connecting Other Computers/Set Top Boxes.
Connecting the Cables
If a different Gateway was being used, disconnect it.
☞ Note:
Remove all Gateway components, including power supplies and
cables, since they will not work with the Gateway.
1. Get the Gateway and its black Power cord (external, 12V DC, 3.5A, model #
NBS40C120350VU, manufactured by Actiontec) from the box.
2. Plug the black Power cord in the black port on the back of the Gateway and
then into a power outlet.
3. Turn the Gateway on.
4. Plug the yellow Ethernet cable from the box into one of the four yellow
Ethernet ports on the back of the Gateway.
5. 6Make sure the computer is powered on, then plug the other end of the yellow
Ethernet cable into an Ethernet port on the computer.
Connecting the Gateway
6. Make sure at least one of the Ethernet LAN lights on the front of the Gateway
glows steadily green. This may take a few moments.
7. The phone company previously installed a high-speed Ethernet wall jack
somewhere in the house. Locate it and plug one end of the white Ethernet
cable in the wall jack.
8. Plug the other end of the white Ethernet cable in the white port on the back of
the Gateway.
9. Make sure the Ethernet WAN light on the front of the Gateway glows
steadily green.
If the Ethernet WAN light does not illuminate, make sure
☞ Note:
the Ethernet cable is connected properly at both ends.
