Connecting the Telephony Modem
WARNING
Risk of injury or equipment damage
Connecting the Telephony Modem to the home’s existing telephone
wiring should only be performed by a professional installer. Physical con-
nections to the previous telephone provider must be removed and the
wiring must be checked; there must not be any voltage. Cancellation of
telephone service is not adequate. Failure to do so may result in loss of
service and/or permanent damage to the Telephony Modem.
1
Connect one end of the coax cable to the cable outlet or splitter, and the
other end to the Telephony Modem’s Cable connector (
E
). Tighten the con-
nections by hand, then tighten an additional 1/8 turn with a wrench.
Note
: For best performance, use high-quality RG-6 type coax cable and mini-
mize or eliminate splitters between the cable jack and the Telephony Modem.
2
Insert the plug from the power cord into the Power connector on the Tele-
phony Modem (
F
) and insert the power cord into a convenient AC outlet.
The Power light on the front of the Telephony Modem lights up, then flashes
once (refer to the Indicator Lights table for your model). See
Troubleshoot-
ing
if the Power light does not turn on.
Making Ethernet Connections
3
Connect one end of the yellow Ethernet cable to the yellow port on the back
of the Telephony Modem labeled “Ethernet 10/100/1000,” (
D
) and the other
end to the Ethernet port on a computer, hub, or broadband router.
Note
: If you are connecting to a computer, use the Ethernet cable included
in the Telephony Modem package.
Making Telephone Connections
4
Connect one end of the telephone cable to one of the grey telephone ports
on the back of the Telephony Modem (
A
or
B
). Connect the other end to the
telephone.
Note
: If you have a phone with two separate lines on a single RJ-14 cord,
plug it into the port labeled “Tel 1/2”.
