Introduction
Getting to Know the Gateway
This section contains a quick description of the Gateway's lights, ports, and other features. The Gateway has several indicator lights (LEDs) and a button on its front panel, and a series of ports and switches on its rear panel.
Front Panel The front panel of the Gateway features 12 LEDs, and a WPS (Wireless Protected Setup) button.
Power The Power LED brights green when the unit is powered up.
DSL 1 The DSL 1 LED brights green when the DSL 1 is synchronized.
DSL 2 The DSL 2 LED brights green when the DSL 2 is synchronized.
Internet The Internet LED illuminates green when the Gateway is properly connected to a WAN Internet connection.WAN/LANThis LED brights green when there is an active Ethernet cable connected to the WAN port, and it blinks with traffic activity.
Ethernet 1 This LED brights green when there is an active Ethernet cable connected to the LAN port #1, and it blinks with traffic activity.
Ethernet 2 This LED brights green when there is an active Ethernet cable connected to the LAN port #2, and it blinks with traffic activity.
Ethernet 3 This LED brights green when there is an active Ethernet cable connected to the LAN port #3, and it blinks with traffic activity.
Ethernet 4 This LED brights green when there is an active Ethernet cable connected to the LAN port #4, and it blinks with traffic activity.
6

Windstream T3280V Gateway USB This LED brights green when there is an active device connected to the USB port. Wi-Fi 2.4G This LED brights green when the Gateway's radio is operating in the 2.4GHz band. Wi-Fi 5G This LED brights green when the Gateway's radio is operating in the 5GHz band. WPS Button The WPS button is used when connecting a wireless device to the Gateway's wireless network using WPS.
Rear Panel The rear panel of the Gateway features 8 ports, and a Reset button.
Power Port The Power port is used to connect the Power cord (Model No. CDS036-W120U , made by Actiontec) to the Gateway.
Reset Button Depressing the Reset button for 10 seconds will restore the Gateway's factory default settings. The reset process will start after releasing the
button.
7

Introduction
WARNING! Do not unplug the Power cord from the Gateway during the reset process. Doing so may result in permanent damage to the Gateway.
WAN Ethernet Port The WAN Ethernet port is used to connect the Gateway to a WAN connection via an Ethernet cable. LAN Ethernet Ports (4) The LAN Ethernet ports are used to connect computers to the Gateway via Ethernet cable. The Ethernet ports are 10/100/1000 Mbps autosensing ports, and either a straight-through or crossover Ethernet cable can be used when connecting to the ports. USB Port The USB port is used to connect the Gateway to a USB device. DSL Port The DSL port is used to connect the Gateway to a DSL wall outlet via DSL cable.

Connecting the Gateway
There are many variables involved when connecting the Gateway, depending on the type of Internet service available. The figure below shows the possible connections available for the Gateway.
Connecting a Computer to the Gateway To connect a computer to the Gateway to access the Gateway's graphical user interface (GUI): 1. Get the Gateway and black Power cord 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. Plug the yellow Ethernet cable from the box into one of the four yellow
Ethernet ports on the back of the Gateway. 4. Make sure the computer is powered on, then plug the other end of the
yellow Ethernet cable into an Ethernet port on the computer. 5. Make sure that the LED on the LAN port into which the Ethernet cable is
plugged glows steadily green. This may take a few moments. 6. The computer should either be configured with a statically defined IP address
and DNS address, or instructed to automatically obtain an IP address using the Network DHCP server. The Gateway is set up, by default, with an active
9

Introduction DHCP server, and it is recommended to leave this setting as is.
