Telephone Service: Install the Cable Modem, Continued

Installing the Cable Modem

Follow these steps to install the cable modem to provide telephone service.

1.Connect a telephone, fax machine, or analog modem to each of the appropriate RJ-11 ports on the cable modem.

Notes:

•The cable modem provides one line of telephone service on each of the RJ-11 connectors.

•Service must be set up and enabled by the cable telephone service provider.

•The two center conductors (pins 3 and 4) on the RJ-11 connector provide electrical connections to directly attached telephone devices or to a permanently installed in-home telephone wiring network.

•The telephone port labeled Line 1 also supports multi-line telephone devices. Line 1 is supported on pins 3 and 4, and Line 2 is supported on pins 2 and 5.

•The use of telephones that require electrical connections to other RJ-11 pins requires an adapter.

2.After all telephone connections are complete, insert the AC power adapter cord into the DC power connector on the back of the cable modem, and then plug the power adapter into an AC power source.

3.Connect the active RF coaxial cable to the CABLE IN connector on the back of the cable modem.

Note: Use an optional cable signal splitter to add a TV, a DHCT or set-top converter, or a VCR.

4.The cable modem begins an automatic search to locate and sign on to the network that provides the telephone service.

Note: This process may take up to 5 minutes. The modem will be ready for use when the CABLE light on the front panel stops blinking and illuminates continuously.

5.Test your telephone service by lifting the receiver of each attached telephone to verify that dial tone can be heard and that you can make and receive telephone calls.

Note: This process may take several minutes. The Line 1 or the Line 2 front panel light illuminates when the attached device is “off the hook.”
