Connecting the EMTA Gateway to a Single Computer
This section of the manual explains how to connect your EMTA Gateway to the USB or Ethernet
port on your computer and install the necessary software. Please refer to Figure 1 to help you
connect your Digital Cable Modem for the best possible connection.
Attaching the Cable TV Wire to the EMTA Gateway
1. Locate the Cable TV wire. You may find it one of three ways:
a. Connected directly to a TV, a Cable TV converter box, or VCR. The line will be connected
to the jack which should be labeled either IN, CABLE IN, CATV, CATV IN, etc.
b. Connected to a wall-mounted cable outlet.
c. Coming out from under a baseboard heater or other location. See Figure 1 for the
wiring example.
Notes: For optimum performance, be sure to connect your EMTA Gateway to the first point the
cable enters your home. The splitter must be rated for at least 1GHz.
