Steps

TO POWER THE MODEM USING THE KIT’S AC ADAPTER

 

 

1. On the Modem Interface cable bridle (shown in Figure

 

2-2), locate the DC POWER (red) and SIG GND (black)

 

connectors. Then electrically isolate each connector by

 

capping or taping it.

 

Since you will be using the AC adapter instead of a DC

 

power supply, it is important to isolate the DC power

 

connectors to prevent shock.

 

2. On the Modem Interface cable bridle (shown in Figure

 

2-2), locate the RESET lead (yellow). Electrically isolate

 

the RESET lead by capping or taping it.

 

The RESET lead is designed to reset the GSP-1620

 

modem whenever it is grounded for five seconds.

 

Electrically isolating the lead prevents it from grounding

 

and inadvertently resetting the modem.

 

3. Locate the power connector in the middle of the

 

Diagnostic cable (as shown in Figure 2-3), then plug the

 

the AC wall adapter cable into the power connector.

 

4. Tighten the lock ring on the adapter cable onto the

 

locking threads of the power connector, so the adapter

 

plug remains firmly seated in the power connector.

 

The lock ring prevents the adapter cable and Diagnostic

 

cable from inadvertently disconnecting and interrupting

 

power to the modem.

 

5. Make sure the switch on the Diagnostic cable is set to

 

“POS 1 DTR to GND.”

 

When this switch is set to “POS 1 DTR to GND,” DTR is

 

asserted on the Diagnostic cable and the modem will

 

power up immediately when power is applied.

 

6. Plug the AC wall adapter (as shown in Figure 2-3) into an

 

AC power wall outlet.

 

You are now ready to use the modem.
