Connecting the Telephony Modem
WARNING
Risk of injury or equipment damage
Connecting the Telephony Modem to the home’s existing telephone wiring should only be
performed by a professional installer. Physical connections to the previous telephone provider
must be removed and the wiring must be checked; there must not be any voltage. Cancelation
of telephone service is not adequate. Failure to do so may result in loss of service and/or
permanent damage to the Telephony Modem.
1.
Connect one end of the coax cable to the cable outlet or splitter, and the other end to the
Telephony Modem’s Cable connector (5). Tighten the connections by hand, then tighten
an additional 1/8 turn with a wrench.
Note: For best performance, use high-quality coax cable and minimize or eliminate
splitters between the cable jack and the Telephony Modem.
2.
Insert the plug from the power cord into the Power connector on the back of the
Telephony Modem (6) and insert the power cord into a convenient AC outlet.
The Power light on the front of the Telephony Modem lights up, then flashes once (refer
(page 32)). See
(page 37) if the Power light does not turn on.
3.
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the back of the Telephony
Modem, (4) and the other end to the Ethernet port on a computer, hub, or broadband
router.
