Starting the Modem
To start operating your new Terayon MTA modem, do the following:
1.
Plug the Power Adaptor into an appropriate AC power outlet or turn the
optional Battery Backup Unit On.
NOTE:
If you have connected the Terayon TA-102 or TA-202
MTA modem to your computer using a USB port, your
computer will prompt you to load a USB driver as soon
as you apply power to the modem. Insert the USB Driv-
ers CD that came with the modem into your CD-ROM
drive and follow the online instructions. You may have
to tell the computer what drive your CD-ROM drive is.
Once your Terayon MTA modem is properly connected and power is applied,
it will automatically boot-up and start scanning for the active MTA modem
channel from your cable company server.
IMPORTANT: When you power up the Terayon MTA modem for
the first time, it can take up to 10 minutes for the
modem to complete its boot-up and scanning
sequence. Do not turn modem power off during
the boot-up and scanning sequence, unless your
cable operator instructs you to do so.
2.
Verify the Power and PC LED indicators on the modem front panel are ON.
If the Power and PC LEDs are ON and not blinking, you have successfully
installed your new Terayon MTA modem. If the Power and PC LEDs are not
ON or are blinking, see “Troubleshooting” on page 20.
