2.Connect a coaxial cable from the VDSL Line port to the wall/interior coaxial cable, as shown in Figure 10 on page 36, so that the Provider unit can communicate with the Subscriber unit.

If you have rack mounted the AT-MC606 Provider unit in an AT-MCR12 rackmount chassis, the chassis must be powered on which provides power to the AT-MC606.

Warning

The QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL must verify that the AT-MCR12 rackmount chassis power cord is connected to the socket provided with the ground conductor.

If the power cord is not connected, the QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL must install a permanent ground connection using the bond stud on the rear panel of the AT-MCR12 rackmount chassis.

For detailed information on how to power on the AT-MCR12 rackmount chassis, refer to the AT-MCR12 Media Converter Rackmount Chassis Installation Manual.

If you have installed a stand alone AT-MC606 Provider unit, power on the unit using the power adapter provided, as shown in Figure 11 on page 37.
