1.  Connect the source (i.e. computer, router, switch) to the GefenTV Ethernet

Over Coax sender unit using the supplied CAT-5e cable.

2.

Connect the GefenTV Ethernet Over Coax sender unit to a coaxial (RG-59 
or RG-6) cable system. Please ensure that the connected coaxial cable
system has an available endpoint, either directly or through a coaxial cable
splitter.

3.  Connect the GefenTV Ethernet Over Coax receiver unit to the coaxial cable 

system.

4.  Connect the Ethernet devices (i.e. computer, game system, set-top box)

to the GefenTV Ethernet Over Coax receiver unit. Up to four devices are 
supported.

5.  Connect the included power cables to both the GefenTV Ethernet Over Coax  

sending and receiving units.

POWER LED:

Once the power cable is connected, the Power LED should 

become active with a solid blue color.

LAN LED:

When a valid Ethernet connection is detected on the sending and 

receiving Ethernet jacks, their corresponding LED’s will become active and 
should emit a solid blue color.

LINK LED: 

The Link LED should be fl ashing red on initial boot up. Once a link

between the sending and receiving units has been established, it will emit a solid
blue color on both units.

IMPORTANT:

 The Link LED must be emitting a sold blue color before 

confi guration can continue. If this LED continues to fl ash red on both the sending
and receiving units, it is possible that they are not physically connected within the 
current coaxial cable system. Please confi rm that both the sending and receiving
units are attached to the same coaxial cable system.
