Adding your G.hn Coax Adapter to an Existing G.hn Coax Network
4. Plug the power supply into the Coax Adapter and into the power outlet nearest to the remotely located Internet-enabled
device (Eg. TV, PC, STB, DVR, Etc.).
5. Connect the coaxial cable to the “
IN
” of the Coax Adapter and to a cable wall outlet.
6. Connect the Coax Adapter to the device with an Ethernet cable. The
Ethernet LED
on the Coax Adapter should be flashing
GREEN
. The
Coverage LEDs
on the Coax Adapters should now be lit (they will be
GREEN,
ORANGE
, or
RED
depending on the
strength of the connection.)
7. We recommend a secure network. If the
Security LED
is off, press the
“Config”
button on each of the two Coax Adapters for 3
seconds consecutively (until the
Security LED
starts blinking). You will have 2 minutes to complete this step once the first
“Config”
button is pressed. Upon successful connection of the Adapters, the
Security LED
will light up
GREEN
and the
Coverage LED
will
light up
GREEN,
ORANGE
, or
RED.
Note:
Pressing the Config button – located on the side of the device for more than 5 seconds resets the security settings (10
seconds or more performs a factory reset). If you accidentally reset the GCA-6000 unit, repeat step 7 to secure the network.
8. If the connection process is not successful, please refer to the trouble shooting steps in section F.
Adding Additional Adapters/Devices
Follow steps 4-8 in Part C to add additional Adapters/devices to the Coax Network (up to 32 devices). For each additional
adapter added, press the “
Config
” button on an already secured Adapter, then on the new adapter, so they can pair and
transmit data successfully.
Your device is now part of a G.hn Coax Network!
Troubleshooting
The following information should help you diagnose basic setup or installation problems.
COVERAGE LED is
OFF:
Plug the problem GCA-6000 unit into a power outlet next to the other GCA-6000 unit; both GCA-6000
having been connected by Ethernet cable to their respective devices e.g. PC, Router, Set Top Box....etc.). After 10 seconds
(approx), the
COVERAGE LED
should light up
GREEN
. If not, first Factory reset both devices by pressing the
“Config”
button on
each for more than 10 seconds. Then, go to part B and follow the installation steps.
ETHERNET LED is OFF:
If the
ETHERNET LED
fails to light up, check that the LAN port of the GCA-6000 unit is connected firmly to
the LAN port of the other device. To check the condition of the Ethernet cable, use another cable to test the same connection.
