The ideal location for your residential gateway is where it has access to outlets and 
other devices. Think about the layout of your home or office, and consult with your 
service provider to select the best location for your residential gateway. Read this 
user guide thoroughly before you decide where to place your residential gateway. 

Consider these recommendations: 

 

Choose a location close to your computer if you will also use the residential 
gateway for high-speed Internet service. 

 

Choose a location that is near an existing RF coaxial connection to eliminate the 
need for an additional RF coaxial outlet. 

 

Choose a location for the residential gateway that is adjacent to your telephone 
equipment if you are using only one or two pieces of telephone equipment. 
Note: If you are using the residential gateway to provide service to several 
telephones, a professional installer can connect the residential gateway to your 
existing home telephone wiring. To minimize changes to the home telephone 
wiring, you may want to locate the residential gateway near an existing 
telephone outlet.  

 

Choose a location that is relatively protected from accidental disturbance or 
harm, such as a closet, basement, or other protected area. 

 

Choose a location so that there is plenty of room to guide the cables away from 
the modem without straining or crimping them. 

 

Airflow around the residential gateway should not be restricted. 

 

Read this user guide thoroughly before installing the residential gateway.
