2.4   Installing the CableLAN Adapter

To  connect  the 

Corinex  CableLAN  Adapter

  to  your  computer,  follow  the  steps  listed 

below:

1. Plug the supplied AC cord into the 

Corinex CableLAN Adapter 

and after that, 

into an AC outlet.

2. Plug the coax cable into the 

Corinex CableLAN Adapter.

3. Unplug the coaxial cable connecting the TV and the TV outlet. Plug the
    T-splitter into the TV outlet.
4. Plug the TV coaxial cable into the T-splitter. Plug the CableLAN coaxial cable 

into the T-splitter.

5. Plug the Ethernet cable into the 

Corinex CableLAN Adapter 

and the Ethernet        

slot or card on your PC.

The 

Corinex  CableLAN  Adapter

  is  equipped  with  an  automatic  switch  enabling  an 

Ethernet slot or card on the PC to be connected to the Adapter via a standard cable or to 
connect a cable modem or DSL modem via a "cross cable" to the Adapter.

If  there  is  an  existing  Docsis  (Data  Over  Cable  Service  Interface  Specifications)  system 
already installed, special precautions, as described further have to be taken.

It is possible to cut off the Docsis functions and insert the CableLAN at the incoming 
node. You can still use the Docsis Modem’s access capacity for Internet communications. 
This  requires  the  use  of  a  passive  diplexer  filter.  See  the  installation  example  in  the 
following pictures.
