8 Apply Power to the Access Appliance
Before plugging the adapter into the power outlet, consult these
important notes:
Please check the voltage requirements printed on
the power adapter before plugging it into an AC
power outlet.
If the power adapter’s input voltage
specification does not match what is being provided at
your AC outlet, contact your service provider or coaXmedia
for a replacement.
Power can now be applied to the Appliance by plugging the power
adapter into a unused AC power outlet (on a wall, power strip, surge
protector, or UPS).
The
P
indicator on the Appliance front panel should light
up when power is applied. (See also a description of the
front panel lights on page 17.)
Now that the Access Appliance setup has been completed, you can set up
your computer to use the connection.

address automatically (DHCP). Instructions for making the
necessary adjustment can be found below, however your
Internet
service provider may supply you with additional instructions that should
take precedence. Please refer to these instructions if supplied.
