SMC8014WN and SMC8014WN2 Wireless Cable Modem Gateway Administrator Manual
Finding a Suitable Location
The Gateways can be installed in any location with access to the cable network. All of the
cables connect to the rear panel of the Gateway for better organization and utility. The LED
indicators on the front panel are easily visible to provide users with information about
network activity and status.
For optimum performance, the location you choose should:
y Be close to a working AC power outlet
y Allow sufficient airflow around the Gateway to keep the device as cool as possible
y Not expose the Gateway to a dusty or wet environment
y Be an elevated location such as a high shelf, keeping the number of walls and ceilings
between the Gateway and your other devices to a minimum
y Be away from electrical devices that are potential sources of interference, such as ceiling
fans, home security systems, microwaves, or the base for a cordless phone
y Be away from any large metal surfaces, such as a solid metal door or aluminum studs.
Large expanses of other materials such as glass, insulated walls, fish tanks, mirrors,
brick, and concrete can also affect your wireless signal
Connecting to the LAN
Using an Ethernet LAN cable, you can connect the Gateway to a PC or notebook computer,
hub, or switch. The Gateways support auto-MDI/MDIX, so you can use either a standard
straight-through or crossover Ethernet cable.
1. Connect either end of an Ethernet cable to one of the four LAN ports on the rear panel of
the Gateway (see Figure 5).

2. Connect the other end of the cable to your computer’s network-interface card (NIC) or to
another network device (see Figure 6).
