Using Equipment Safely
Your Advanced Cable Gateway has been manufactured to meet American safety standards, but
care must be taken to ensure proper performance.
It is important that you read this booklet completely, especially the safety instructions below. If
you have any doubts about the installation, operation, or safety of the Gateway, please contact
your Customer Service.
Avoiding the Risk of Electric Shock
Disconnect the Gateway from the power source before you connect the Gateway to •
(or disconnect it from) any other equipment. Avoid any contact with the power source,
which can be lethal or cause severe electric shock.
Do not remove the cover of the Gateway. Should the Gateway fail, contact Customer •
Service for repair or service.
Do not insert anything into any opening of the case.•
Do not block the Gateway’s ventilation slots; do not place it on unstable surfaces like •
carpets.
Do not put anything on the Gateway which might spill or drip into it • (e.g. lighted
candles or liquids containers). Do not splash it with a liquid. If an object or liquid does
get inside the Gateway, unplug it immediately and contact Customer Service.
Do not store the Gateway in excessively hot, cold, or damp conditions. The Gateway is •
intended to operate at an ambient temperature of less than 113 degrees Fahrenheit (45
degrees Celsius) and a maximum humidity level of 75%.
In case of a thunderstorm, it is recommended that you unplug the Gateway from the •
power source and the antenna from the TV set.
Locate this equipment in such a way that the plug and power source are easily •
accessible. That way you can disconnect quickly.
Connecting to the Power Supply
This Gateway is designed to operate at 120VAC, 60Hz.•
If you are in any doubt about the • power source, the plug, or connection, please consult
Customer Service.
Ensuring optimum performance
Leave 3 to 4 inches of clearance around the Gateway to ensure proper ventilation to •
the Gateway.
Always place Gateway vertically.•
To clean the Gateway, use a dry, clean soft cloth with no cleaning solvent or abrasive •
products. Clean the ventilation openings regularly.
Environmental Information
The batteries contain some hazardous substances which pollute the environment. •
Do not dispose of them with other articles. Take care to dispose of them at special
collecting points.

Inserting Batteries
To install batteries into the Advanced Cable Gateway:
Ensure the power cord is 1.
unplugged. Remove the battery
cover on the rear panel. There
are two battery compartments.
One battery is included with the
Advanced Cable Gateway.
For an additional battery please
contact your local operator.
Push the slider up/down to allow 2.
for battery insertion.
Insert the battery into the 3.
compartment marked
“Battery 1”.
Readjust the slider to prevent the 4.
battery from moving and replace
the battery cover. Plug the power
cord into an electrical outlet that
is not controlled by a wall switch
(this will assure that the unit has
uninterrupted power). The battery
will fully charge within 5 hours.
16
Parts and Putting them Together
As with any radio link, the quality of communication depends on the location
of the equipment and the environment in which it is used.
In particular your TH58 Handset must be protected from:
excessive heat (radiators, direct sunlight, etc.)
vibration
dust
Never allow your phone to come into contact with:
water
aerosols
To reduce the risk of interference and maximize reception, take particular
care not to locate the Handset or Dock close to:
halogen lamps (and other heat sources)
windows
large metal objects
reinforced concrete
televisions
music centers
uorescent lighting
burglar alarms
microwave ovens
computers, etc
About Your Handset
In order to understand the key features of your TH58 Handset, it is
recommended that you read this guide carefully, including all the safety
instructions, before using the product. It is recommended that you inform
other members of your family (especially your children) of the detailed
warnings given in this guide.
Caregivers of young children should monitor them at all times in the
presence of this product.
In particular, children should never be allowed to put unsuitable or
dangerous metal or plastic articles into their mouths.
When your TH58 Handset is connected to the Internet, you may download
software updates for the base and handset. Applying these updates and
the improvements they contain may slightly modify the menus shown in this
User’s Guide.
To clean your Handset, use an antistatic cloth.

This illustration shows a cable company that offers DOCSIS- and
PacketCable- compliant voice/data services.
1. How Does the Gateway Work?
The Advanced Cable Gateway provides high-speed Internet access as well
as cost-effective, telephone voice and fax/modem services for residential
subscribers over a CATV (cable TV) infrastructure. It can inter-operate with
the PacketCable compliant head end equipment and provide IP-based voice
communications.TheIPtrafccantransferbetweentheAdvancedCable
Gateway and DOCSIS compliant head end equipment. The data security
secures upstream and downstream communications.
23
Parts and Putting them Together

2. What do you need to enjoy all services?
The Right Cable Company• :
Make sure your local cable company provides data services that use
cable TV industry-standard DOCSIS compliant and PacketCable
compliant technology.
Internet/Telephone Service Provider (ISP/TSP)• :
Your cable company provides you access to an Internet Service
Provider (ISP) and Telephone 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 telephone access to other modems
or other telephone services over the Public Switched Telephone
Network (PSTN).
Check with your cable company to make sure you have everything you need
to begin.
Your cable company will know if you need to install special software or
re-congure your computer to make your cable internet service work for you.
24
Parts and Putting them Together
3. Establish an Internet Account
You need to contact your cable company to establish an Internet account
before you can use your Advance Cable Gateway.
You should have the following information ready (this can be found on the
sticker attached to the Gateway):
The Serial Number•
The Model Number•
The Cable Modem (CM) Media Access Control (MAC) Address•
The Terminal Adapter (EMTA) MAC Address•
SSID, WPA2-PSK Information •
Please verify the following with the cable company
Your internet account has been set up. •
(The Media Terminal Adapter will provide data service if the cable
account is set up but no telephone service is available.)
You have a cable outlet near your PC and it is ready for Cable Modem •
service.
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 rst.
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 be ready whenever you need it.

Cable Gateway.
Connect one end of the power cord into the 120V, 60Hz, 0.5A socket
on the Advanced Cable Gateway and the other end into the power
plug in the wall.
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable (straight-wired, see below) to
the Ethernet port on the back of your computer and the other end to
the ETHERNET port on the Advanced Cable Gateway.
Note: The Gateway is equipped with two Ethernet ports, making
additional equipment unnecessary.
Note: Make sure that the Ethernet cable is straight-wired (not “null” or
crossover-wired).
However, you will need a crossover-type cable if you are connecting the
Gateway to a hub or a hub within a port switch that provides the same
function.

If you want to create hard wired connections to the ACG for more than
two computers, you will need to purchase a Hub (Switch) for that purpose
and the cabling necessary for those additional connections. Although a
10BaseT Hub or Switch can be used, it is not recommended. A 100BaseT
Hub or Switch is recommended. Follow the installation guidelines that
accompany this equipment.
