Labeling the IFL cables
Connecting the IFL cables to the router
You must comply with applicable local codes and the grounding requirements in Field Service
Bulletin (FSB), HNS Broadband Requirements for RG-6 and RG-11 IFL Cable Connectors,
Ground Blocks, and Ground Block Location (FSB_050518_01). Improper grounding can result
in electric shock injury, property damage, and/or poor router performance.
Label the receive and transmit IFL cables at the outdoor point-of-entry and at the indoor location
where the satellite router is installed as follows:
• Wrap a piece of red electrical tape around the receive cable, and mark SAT IN on the tape.
• Wrap a piece of blue electrical tape around the transmit cable, and mark SAT OUT on the
tape.
Connect the transmit and receive IFL cables to the satellite router.
1. Connect the transmit and receive cables to the connectors on the rear panel of the router as
shown in
Figure 19: Connecting the transmit and receive cables
Figure 19: Connecting the transmit and receive cables
The transmit and receive cable connectors must be securely tightened.
• Make sure each connector is properly aligned (not cross-threaded).
• The connector should be finger tight with no play.
