Pre-Installation
Upon receipt of the SMHAP, inspect the carton for any external damage. If damage
is present inspect the SMHAP exterior for damage. Report any apparent damage
to the shipping agent and Lindsay Broadband sales office.
Pad values can be determined ahead of time. The loss of the HFC interface board
should be allowed for when calculating pad values. There is 4 dB of loss in the
reverse direction, and 5 dB of loss in the forward direction. The forward pad should
be selected so that power incident on the cable modem is 0 dBmV (5 dBmV at the
Gateway KS connection). For best return path S/N, the reverse pad should be
selected so as to have the cable modem operate near its maximum output level
(-47 to –50 dBmV).
The cable modem can be provisioned ahead of time using the MAC address located on the
label on the outside of the power lid.
A 1/2” wrench is needed for both the strand clamp and housing bolts.
