labeled CATV (MN2525) or TV (MN2550) on the side of the Adapter.
③ Connect one end of another coaxial cable into the coaxial port labeled
COM (MN2525) or MoCA (MN2550) on the side of the Adapter.
④ Connect the other end of the coaxial cable installed in step 3 to the wall outlet left
unconnected in step 1.
⑤ Connect one end of an Ethernet cable into the ETHERNET (MN2525) or
LAN1 (MN2550) port on the side of the Adapter.
⑥ Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port of home
modem or router if Web browsing is needed. Or connect the other end of the
Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port of the device to connect to Internet.
⑦ Plug in the provided power adapter into the power port on the side of the Adapter.
Plug the other end of the power adapter into an electrical outlet or power source.

Connecting the Adapter without TV Signal (Ethernet Only)

① Locate the coaxial outlet in home desired to place the Adapter.
②
Connect one end of an Ethernet cable into the ETHERNET (MN2525) or
LAN1 (MN2550) port on the side of the Adapter.
③ Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port of a computer
or a Ethernet switch.
④
Connect one end of another coaxial cable into the coaxial port labeled
COM (MN2525) or MoCA (MN2550) on the side of the Adapter.
⑤ Connect the other end of the coaxial cable installed in step 4 to the wall outlet.
⑥ Repeat step 1 to step 5 at the other coaxial outlet in home.
