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 Thread the antenna onto the Antenna connector on the back of the Telepho-

ny Modem (C). Tighten only by hand. Turn the antenna so that it points

straight up, if possible.

2 Connect one end of the coax cable to the cable outlet or splitter, and the

other end to the Telephony Modem’s Cable connector (G). 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.

3 Insert the plug from the power cord into the Power connector on the back

of the Telephony Modem (H) 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

if the Power

light does not turn on.

4 Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to any Ethernet port on the back of

the Telephony Modem, (D) and the other end to the Ethernet port on a com-

puter, hub, or broadband router.
Note: If you are connecting to a computer, use the Ethernet cable included

in the Telephony Modem package.

5 Connect one end of the telephone cable to the telephone port on the back

of the Telephony Modem (A or B). Connect the other end to the telephone.
