6)
Cables at rough-in should be cut at the bottom of the network center.
7)
Secure all cables in a manner to protect them during drywall and trim out. Cables must remain 
accessible to be easily retrieved after drywall. 
8)
Run a ground wire from the network center location to the house ground.

Network Center Physical Installation 
1) 
The network center must be mounted securely. For recessed wired installations, locate the stud 
holding the low voltage bracket or junction box. Install a drywall or wood screw one (1) inch 
above the top of the opening, leaving the head slightly raised. Using the keyhole on the network 
center, hang the network center. Level the network center and temporarily install a screw in the 
lower hole. Mark the locations for the other two (2) holes. Remove the network center and install 
anchors for the two (2) screws not on the stud. Re-install the network center. Tighten securely. 
2)
Pull the cables through rectangular opening at the top of the network center. Cable for other 
applications on the Advanced Network Center can be fed behind and through the large opening 
below the integral telephone distribution panel. 
3)
Terminate and connect video cables. Locate video source cable (CATV or antenna), position to attach to 
the input of the splitter. Cut the cable approximately two (2) inches beyond the splitter, allowing slack for 
cable management. Use a high quality cable cutter to avoid distortion of the cable and center conductor. If 
cable marking is cut off, re-mark in an area that will be visible after installation. Strip and prep cable per 
connector instructions. Use a coax cable stripper to ensure clean cuts without damaging the center 
conductor. Install high quality “F” style connectors. Use proper insertion and crimp tools. Attach securely to 
the proper port of the splitter. Repeat for outlet cables. 
4)
Connect Telephone Service. Identify incoming service cable and route to “Line In” 110 punch-down block. 
Route cable allowing some slack for cable management and trim cable about two (2) inches beyond the 
connector. If cable marking is removed, re-mark cable in the area that will be visible after installation. Strip 
off approximately three (3) inches of the other jacket using On-Q strip tool (P/N 363292-01) or equivalent. 
Position pairs over color-coded slots on the connector (see Figure 2). 
NOTE: Do not untwist pairs 
NOTE: White wires may not have color trace stripe. Keep white wire paired with appropriate colored 
wire. 
Without un-twisting cable, position the wires in the individual slots. Punch down and trim wires using On-Q 
Punch down Tool (P/N 363293-01) or equivalent. Remove excess wire and tug slightly on cable to ensure 
wire is securely installed in connector. Repeat for outlet cables. 
5)
After all cables are connected, cables should be grouped and bundled for ease of maintenance.
6)
Connect ground wire to ground lug and to ground in outlet. Follow NEC and local codes in installing 
ground wire. 
D.
Testing and Troubleshooting 
1) 
All cables should be checked to ensure pairs are maintained on category cable and that there 
are no opens or shorts on any of the circuits. The Coax/UTP tester (P/N 364276-01) makes this 
test quick and easy. 
2)
Locating faults can be accomplished using tone generator and probe.
3)
After service is activated, be certain network is working at all outlets.
E.
Other Advanced Network Center Applications 
1) 
The security interface can be enabled to allow line seizure and dial out capability 
to most security systems. Connect the RJ31X cable (supplied w/security system) 
to the RJ45 “security” jack. Turn off “Line 1” on the test switch to activate the 
security line. Connect the terminals of the RJ31X cable as described in security 
system instructions (see Figure 3). 
2)
Surge protection for the telephone may be enhanced using the On-Q Surge 
Suppressor Unit (P/N 363487-01). See instructions with unit for installation. 
F.
Cover Installation (optional) see Figure 4 
1) 
Hang cover on the top of the network center using integral hooks. Swing the 
bottom in place. Use care to ensure cables do not become pinched. 
2)
Secure and electrically ground the cover to the network center using screws and 
star washers provided.
