PacketCable compliant voice/data services.
Fig. 1-5 Connection overview
What the Modem Does
The Wireless Voice Gateway provides high-speed Internet access as well as cost-effective, toll-quality
telephone voice and fax/modem services over residential, commercial, and education subscribers on
public and private networks via an existing CATV infrastructure. It can inter-operate with the
PacketCable compliant head-end equipment and provide the IP-based voice communications. The IP
traffic can transfer between the Wireless Voice Gateway and DOCSIS/Euro-DOCSIS compliant head-end
equipment. The data security secures upstream and downstream communications.
What the Modem Needs to Do Its Job
The Right Cable Company: Make sure your local cable company provides data services that use
cable TV industry-standard DOCSIS/Euro-DOCSIS compliant and PacketCable/Euro-
PacketCable compliant technology.
The Internet/Telephony Service Provider (ISP/TSP): Your cable company provides you access
to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) and Telephony Service Provider (TSP). The ISP is your
gateway to the Internet and provides you with a pipeline to access Internet content on the World
Wide Web (WWW). The TSP provides you with telephony access to other modems or other
telephony services over the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).
Check with your cable company to make sure you have everything you need to begin; they’ll know if you
need to install special software or re-configure your computer to make your cable internet service work
for you.
Contact Your Local Cable Company
You will need to contact your cable company to establish an Internet account before you can use your
gateway. You should have the following information ready (which you will find on the sticker on the
gateway):
Page 12 / 22
The serial number
The model number
The Cable Modem (CM) Media Access Control (MAC) address
The Terminal Adapter (EMTA) MAC address
Security information: Service Set Identifier (SSID), Encryption key / passphrase (WPA2-PSK by
default), channel number. Default values are indicated underneath the modem on the sticker.
Please check the following with the cable company
The cable service to your home supports DOCSIS/Euro-DOCSIS compliant two-way modem
access.
Your internet account has been set up. (The Media Terminal Adapter will provide data service if
the cable account is set up but no telephony service is available.)
You have a cable outlet near your PC and it is ready for Cable Modem service.
Note: It is important to supply power to the modem at all times. Keeping your modem plugged in will
keep it connected to the Internet. This means that it will always be ready whenever you need.
Important Information
Your cable company should always be consulted before installing a new cable outlet. Do not attempt any
rewiring without contacting your cable company first.
Please verify the following on the Wireless Voice Gateway
The Power LED should be lighted when plug-in the power supply.
Connecting the Wireless Voice Gateway to a Single Computer
This section of the manual explains how to connect your Wireless Voice Gateway to the Ethernet port on
your computer and install the necessary software. Please refer to Figure 1-5 to help you connect your
Digital Cable Modem for the best possible connection.
Page 13 / 22
Attaching the Cable TV Wire to the Wireless Voice Gateway
1. Locate the Cable TV wire. You may find it one of three ways:
a. Connected directly to a TV, a Cable TV converter box, or VCR. The line will be connected to
the jack, which should be labeled either IN, CABLE IN, CATV, CATV IN, etc.
b. Connected to a wall-mounted cable outlet.
c. Coming out from under a baseboard heater or other location. See Figure 1-6 for the wiring
example.
Notes: For optimum performance, be sure to connect your
Wireless Voice Gateway to the first point the cable enters
your home. The splitter must be rated for at least 1GHz.
Fig. 1-6 Basic Home Wiring
Page 14 / 22
Installation procedure for connecting to the Ethernet interface
Follow these steps for proper installation.
Plug the coaxial cable to the cable wall outlet and the other end to the modem’s cable connector.
Note: To ensure a fast registration of the modem, the coaxial cable must be connected to
the modem before it is powered on.
Plug the power adapter into the socket of the cable modem and two-pin plug in the AC outlet then press
the Power Switch, power on the modem.
Note: Only use the power adapter that comes with the modem. Using another power
adapter can cause damage to the product, and will void the warranty.
Connect an Ethernet cable (direct connection, see below) to the Ethernet port at the back of the computer,
and the other end to the ETHERNET port on the rear panel of the cable modem. The modem will seek the
appropriate cable signal on the cable television network and go through the initial registration process on
its own. The modem is ready for data transfer after the green LED "ONLINE" is lit continuously.
Note: the button "reset" at the back of the modem is used primarily for maintenance.
Fig. 1-7 Connect to the Modem
Page 15 / 22
Telephone or Fax Connection
When properly connected, most telephony devices can be used with the Wireless Voice Gateway just as
with a conventional telephone service. To make a normal telephone call, pick up the handset; listen for a
dial tone, then dial the desired number. For services such as call waiting, use the hook switch (or FLASH
button) to change calls. The following procedures describe some of the possible connection schemes for
using telephony devices with the Wireless Voice Gateway.
1. Connect a standard phone line cord directly from the phone (fax machine, answering machine, caller
ID box, etc.) to one of the LINE jacks on the Wireless Voice Gateway.
2. If there is a phone line in your home which is NOT connected to another telephone service provider,
connect a standard phone line cord from a jack on this line to one of the LINE jacks of the Wireless
Voice Gateway. Connect a standard phone line cord directly from the phone (fax machine, answering
machine, caller ID box, etc.) to one of the other jacks in the house that uses that line.
3. If you have a multi-line telephone, connect a standard phone line cord (not an RJ-14 type line cord)
from the phone to the LINE jacks on the Wireless Voice Gateway. (Other phones can be added to
each line by using standard phone line splitters.)

CHAPTER 2: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What if I don’t subscribe to cable TV?
A. If cable TV is available in your area, data and voice service may be made available with or without
cable TV service. Contact your local cable company for complete information on cable services,
including high-speed internet access.
Q. How do I get the system installed?
A. Professional installation from your cable provider is strongly recommended. They will ensure proper
cable connection to the modem and your computer. However, your retailer may have offered a self-
installation kit, including the necessary software to communicate with your cable ISP.
Q. Once my Wireless Voice Gateway is connected, how do I get access to the Internet?
A. Your local cable company provides your internet service*, offering a wide range of services including
email, chat, and news and information services, and a connection to the World Wide Web.
Q. It seems that the wireless network is not working
A. Check the Wireless LED on the front panel. If it is no lighted, press on the WPS button shortly, less
than 1 second, on the side of the modem, and then check again the Wireless LED. If it is lighted, then
the Wireless transmission is enabled.
Q. Can I watch TV, surf the Internet, and talk to my friends through the Wireless Voice Gateway at the
same time?
A. Absolutely!
Q. What do you mean by “Broadband?”
A. Simply put, it means you’ll be getting information through a “bigger pipe,” with more bandwidth, than
a standard phone line can offer. A wider, “broader” band means more information, more quickly.
Q. What is DOCSIS and what does it mean?
A. “Data over Cable Service Interface Specifications” is the industry standard that most cable companies
are adopting as they upgrade their systems. Should you ever decide to move, the Wireless Voice
Gateway will work with all upgraded cable systems that are DOCSIS-compliant.
Q. What is PacketCable and what does it mean?
A. PacketCable is the industry standard for telephony services that most cable companies are adopting as
they upgrade their systems. Should you ever decide to move, the Wireless Voice Gateway will work
with all upgraded cable systems that are PacketCable compliant.
Q. What is Xpress Technology and what does it mean?
A. It is one of the popular performance-enhancing WiFi technologies, designed to improve wireless
network efficiency and boost throughput. It is more efficient in mixed environments, and it can work
with 802.11a/b/g networks. When Xpress is turned on, aggregate throughput (the sum of the individual
throughput speeds of each client on the network) can improve by up to 27% in 802.11g-only networks,
and up to 75% in mixed networks comprised of 802.11g and 802.11b standard equipment. The
Page 17 / 22
technology achieves higher throughput by re-packaging data, reducing the number of overhead control
packets, so that more useful data can be sent during a given amount of time.
* Monthly subscription fee applies.
** Additional equipment required. Contact your Cable Company and ISP for any restrictions or additional
fees.

General Troubleshooting
You can correct most problems you have with your product by consulting the troubleshooting list that
follows.
I can’t access the internet.
Check all of the connections to your Wireless Voice Gateway.
Your Ethernet card may not be working. Check each product’s documentation for more information.
The Network Properties of your operating system may not be installed correctly or the settings may
be incorrect. Check with your ISP or cable company.
I can’t get the modem to establish an Ethernet connection.
Even new computers don’t always have Ethernet capabilities – be sure to verify that your computer
has a properly installed Ethernet card and the driver software to support it.
Check to see that you are using the right type of Ethernet cable.
The modem won’t register a cable connection.
If the modem is in Initialization Mode, the INTERNET light will be flashing. Call your Cable
Company if it has not completed this 5-step process within 30 minutes, and note which step it is
getting stuck on.
The modem should work with a standard RG-6 coaxial cable, but if you’re using a cable other than
the one your Cable Company recommends, or if the terminal connections are loose, it may not work.
Check with your Cable Company to determine whether you’re using the correct cable.
If you subscribe to video service over cable, the cable signal may not be reaching the modem.
Confirm that good quality cable television pictures are available to the coaxial connector you are
using by connecting a television to it. If your cable outlet is “dead”, call your Cable Company.
Verify that the Cable Modem service is DOCSIS compliant and PacketCable compliant by calling
your cable provider.
I don’t hear a dial tone when I use a telephone.
Telephone service is not activated. If the rightmost light on the Wireless Voice Gateway stays on
while others flash, check with your TSP or cable company. If the Wireless Voice Gateway is
connected to existing house telephone wiring, make sure that another telephone service is not
connected. The other service can normally be disconnected at the Network Interface Device located
on the outside of the house.
If using the second line on a two-line telephone, use a 2-line to 1-line adapter cable.
