Connecting the Telephony Modem

WARNING: Connecting the Telephony Modem to the home's existing
telephone wiring should only be performed by a professional install-
er. Physical connections to the previous telephone provider must be
removed and the wiring must be checked; there must not be any
voltages. Cancellation 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 (F). Tighten the con-
nections 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 Tele-
phony Modem (G) 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 table on page 44). See
light does not turn on.
3 After connecting the coax cable and power, proceed as needed:
• Making Ethernet Connections
• Making USB Connections
Note: Do not connect the same computer to both the Ethernet and USB
ports.
Making Ethernet Connections
4 Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the port on the back of the Tele-
phony Modem labeled "Ethernet 10/100," (D) 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.
