1.6. Quick Installation EoC System Network Diagram (Sample) 1. Connect the TV signal ( RF cable ) to the EoC Master unit. 2. Connect the EoC Master Unit to the Cable TV Distribution network through the “COM 1, 2, 3, 4 Port”. 3. The output frequency range is from 7.5MHz to 65MHz. Output (Narrowcast signal) level is at around 105dBuV. Note: Make sure that the total RF link loss is less than 50dB for proper reception at the EoC Client side. SNR should be above 20dB. Please also refer to the section 2.3.6. Note: When measuring the RF output power of EoC master, it is recommended to use a Spectrum Analyser for accurate reading. Note: While connecting, please keep the RF connectors tightly fastened. 4. Connect the uplink EoC Master Unit to the WAN network through Fiber Link. On WAN side, it could be a Data Switch or Router. For some applications, the EoC master can also be connected to the WAN through the ONU at the same location. 5. The unit uses the line 60V power or optionally use the power adapter to the wall outlet. 6. After the power is ON, LED indicators should light up as for normal operation. Check whether the POWER status LED is on continuously. And the Cable LED is one for active RF output to the distribution network. 7. Connect RF input to the AC100 Network Port Solutions Provider for FTTx, RFoG and HFC www.ascentcomtec.com Page 12 of 37 ...

8. Connect the TV port to either the set top box or TV set 9. Connect the LAN port 1 – 4 to the Home network, router or Personal Computer 10. Plug the power adapter to the wall outlet and also the 12V power input port of EoC Client. 11. After the EoC Master is ON, LED indicators should light up as for normal operation. Check whether the Ethernet and Cable status LED is on continuously. If yes, the connection is normal; otherwise there is either issue with the physical connection or the RF levels at either end. This may be caused by either too much or too little attenuation over the RF cable. Please refer to the Layout Description section of this installation manual for nominal LED activity. 12. Check all signal levels and services on all the communication ports. Note: EoC Client Unit Installation Adjustment 1. Installing the AC100 on a horizontal surface (Bench top) Put the EoC Client on a clean, flat, sturdy bench top. Suggest keep the clearance for all sides of the unit to more than 10cm for heat dissipation. 2. Installing the AC100 on a vertical surface (Hanging on a wall) You can install the EoC Client on a vertical surface by using the moulded mounting holes on the bottom of the unit chassis (refer to Figure below) and two flat‐head wood screws. ...
