Chapter 2 Installing the Tap
14 78-4002497-01 Rev F
Overview
Installation of the Addressable Multimedia Stretch Tap involves two separate
procedures:
Installing the Tap Housing
Installing the Tap Faceplate
The 9-inch tap housing is the same housing used with the Multimedia Stretch Tap
(MST). A new AMST tap faceplate can be purchased separately to upgrade an
existing MST faceplate.
This chapter describes the steps for each of these procedures. In addition, this
chapter provides instructions for replacing the local oscillator (LO) and power
supply modules in the AMST.
