This section provides answers to common questions about the residential gateway. 

 

Call your service provider to inquire about professional installation. A professional 
installation ensures proper cable connection to the residential gateway and to your 
PC, and it ensures the proper configuration of all hardware and software settings. 
Contact your service provider for more information about installation. 

 

Yes. If your service provider permits, a single residential gateway can support up to 
63 Ethernet devices utilizing user-supplied Ethernet hubs or routers that you can 
purchase at your local PC or office supply retailer. If your residential gateway has a 
USB port, another user at your location can simultaneously connect to the USB port 
on the residential gateway. Contact your service provider for further assistance. 

 

The residential gateway connects to the USB port (if your residential gateway has a 
USB port) or to the 1000/100BASE-T Ethernet port on your PC. If you want to use an 
Ethernet interface, Ethernet cards available from your local PC or office supply 
retailer, or from your service provider. For best performance over an Ethernet 
connection, your PC should be equipped with a Gigabit Ethernet card. 

 

Your local service provider becomes your Internet Service Provider (ISP). They offer 
a wide range of services including e-mail, chat, news, and information services. Your 
service provider will provide the software you will need.
