Installing the Cisco CVA122/CVA122E Cable Voice Adapter
Verifying Installation
Step 4
Check the LEDs for proper operation:
•
The Cable Activity LED blinks to indicate activity on the cable interface and remains on otherwise.
•
The Ethernet LED goes on solid when the Ethernet interface is properly connected to an Ethernet
network interface card on a PC. The Ethernet LED also blinks to indicate activity on the Ethernet
interface.
•
The USB LED goes on solid when the USB port is properly connected to a USB port on a PC. The
USB LED also blinks to indicate activity on the USB interface.
•
The service provider controls the Message LED, which can be used to notify the user of special
events, such as waiting voicemail or email. Contact your service provider for details on this LED.
Step 5
If all LEDs appear normal, proceed to the “Verifying Installation” section on page 3-17 to test the cable
voice adapter and its connection to each part of the network. If any problems occur, proceed to
Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting,” to troubleshoot and solve the problem.
Step 6
After verifying operations, acquaint the subscriber with the cable voice adapter recommended ambient
temperature requirement of
23° to 113°F (-5° to 45°C)
. Remind the subscriber to keep the area around the
cable voice adapter as free from dust as is practical and review general safety standards.
Step 7
Give the subscriber the Cisco-provided subscriber publications, along with any literature your company
provides, including instructions on how to contact your customer service department.

Internet Connection
Use the following procedure to verify Internet connectivity between the PC connected to the cable voice
adapter’s Ethernet or USB port and the service provider’s network.
Step 1
From a computer connected to the Cisco CVA122/CVA122E Cable Voice Adapter, start an Internet
browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Communicator.
Step 2
Enter a URL of your choice in your web browser. If a URL is not known, use
http://www.cisco.com
to
connect to the Cisco Connection Online (CCO) web site.
Step 3
Watch the Ethernet or USB LED on the front of the cable voice adapter blink as data is transmitted on
the link. If the Internet browser displays the selected web page, the network connection is successfully
established.
Step 4
If using both Ethernet and USB connectivity, repeat steps 1 through 3 for each computer connected to
the Cisco CVA122/CVA122E Cable Voice Adapter.
Step 5
Disconnect the cable system input by unscrewing the cable F-connector at the back of the cable voice
adapter.
