Cable Connection

Installation of the VM51616H is simply a matter of connecting the appropriate
cables. Refer to the installation diagram on the following page (the numbers in
the diagram correspond to the steps below), and do the following:
1. Use a grounding wire to ground the unit by connecting one end of the wire
to the grounding terminal, and the other end of the wire to a suitable
grounded object.
Note: Do not omit this step. Proper grounding helps to prevent damage to
the unit from surges or static electricity.

plug a Cat 5e cable from the LAN into the VM51616H's Ethernet port.
