INSTALLING THE MODEM
Connecting the Modem
To install your new MTA modem, you will need the following items:
•
Two coaxial cables of a length appropriate to your installation
•
One cable line splitter (not included with modem)
•
A 7/16 inch wrench or spanner.
When installing your new MTA modem a cable splitter and two new cables are
required. The cable splitter divides the incoming signal from the cable company
into two signals, one for the household TVs, and one for the MTA modem. No TV
sets are allowed on the cable that connects to the MTA modem. Figure 2 illustrates
a typical MTA modem installation.
