Back Panel Description
The following illustration identifies the back panel components on the DPC3828
residential gateways. Descriptions for each component follow the illustration.
Important: Do not connect your PC to both the Ethernet and USB ports at the same
time. Your residential gateway will not function properly if both the Ethernet and
USB ports are connected to your PC at the same time.

Allows you to turn off the residential gateway without removing the power cord.
Turning the residential gateway off using this switch ensures that the unit is
consuming no energy.

provided with your residential gateway.

or your home network.
5
CABLE—F-connector connects to an active cable signal from your service
provider.
6
RESET—A momentary pressing (1-2 seconds) of this switch restarts (power
cycles) the device. Pressing and holding the switch for more than ten seconds
first causes a reset-to-factory-default of all settings and then restarts (power
cycles) the device.

residential gateway

CAUTION:
The RESET button is for maintenance purposes only. Do not use unless
