Connecting the Telephony Modem

WARNING
Risk of injury or equipment damage
Connecting the Telephony Modem to the home's existing telephone wiring should only be
performed by a professional installer. Physical connections to the previous telephone
provider must be removed and the wiring must be checked; there must not be any voltage.
Cancelation of telephone service is not adequate. Failure to do so may result in loss of
service and/or permanent damage to the Telephony Modem.
1. Connect one end of the coax cable to the cable outlet or splitter, and the other end to
the Telephony Modem's Cable connector. Tighten the connections by hand, then tighten
an additional 1/8 turn with a wrench.
Note: For best performance, use high-quality coax cable and minimize or eliminate
splitters between the cable jack and the Telephony Modem.
2. Insert the plug from the power cord into the Power connector on the back of the
Telephony Modem and insert the power cord into a convenient AC outlet.
The Power light on the front of the Telephony Modem lights up, then flashes once (refer
to the LED tables shown in
(page 38) if the Power light does not turn on.
3. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the back of the Telephony
Modem, and the other end to the Ethernet port on a computer, hub, or broadband
router.
Note: If you are connecting to a computer, use the Ethernet cable included in the
Telephony Modem package.
