FAQs
Q. Can I have more than one computer attached to a Terayon modem?
A. Yes, Terayon MTA modems do provide this capability, but you will need to
install a hub into your system and you must arrange for this service with your
cable service provider. Some service providers limit the number of computers
connected to the modem.
Q. Can I connect the Terayon MTA modem to a hub or switch?
A. Yes, you can connect the Terayon MTA modem to a hub or switch. There are
two ways to successfully complete a physical connection.
1. Buy a cross-over cable and connect the port labeled ETHERNET on the
Terayon MTA modem to one of the ports on the hub or switch.
2. Many newer hubs and switches have an “uplink” port specifically designed
for cascading. Connect this uplink port to your Terayon MTA modem and it
should work without a cross-over cable. Connect your PC to another avail-
able port.
NOTE:
While you may be able to successfully complete a phys-
ical connection to a hub or switch indicated by a green
Online LED, you cannot obtain additional IP
addresses unless your subscription allows for more
than one IP address. Contact your cable operator for
more information.
