Connecting the Telephony Modem

WARNING: Connecting the Telephony Modem to the home's existing wiring

should only be performed by a qualified telephone technician. Physical connec-

tions to the previous telephone provider must be removed and the wiring must

be checked for unexpected voltages. Discontinuation of service alone is not ad-

equate. Failure to do so may result in loss of service and/or permanent damage

to the EMTA.

1 Connect one end of the coaxial cable to the cable outlet or splitter, and the

other end to the Telephony Modem’s Cable connector (E). Tighten the con-

nections by hand.

2 Insert the plug from the AC adapter or the power cord into the Power con-

nector on the Telephony Modem (A).

3 Insert the power cord into a convenient AC outlet.

The Power light on the front of the Telephony Modem should light up, then

start flashing. See Troubleshooting

if the Power light does not turn on.

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

phony Modem labeled “Ethernet 10/100,” (C) 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.

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

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