2.4Initializing the Cable Sharing Gateway

This section outlines how to connect your Prestige to the LAN and the cable network.

Step 1. Preparing the CATV Coaxial Cable Connection

Locate the coaxial cable at the installation site and move the cable end, or install a two-way splitter as necessary to provide a connection near the Prestige cable modem location.

Step 2. Connecting the Prestige to the Cable System

Connect the Prestige to the cable port using an F-type connector. (If the quality or general condition of the coaxial cable at the installation site is in question, we recommended that you replace the coaxial cable). The cable port on the Prestige is labeled "CABLE”.

Step 3. Connecting Ethernet Cable(s) and/or USB cable to the Prestige

If you do not have an Ethernet interface card (NIC) in your computer, please install one or use the USB connectivity. The Ethernet interface of your Prestige support 10/100M auto-negotiating and auto MDI/MDI-X function. You can use any type of Ethernet cable to connect it to your computer directly or through an external switch/hub.

Step 4. Connecting the Power Adapter to your Prestige

Connect the power adapter to the port labeled POWER on the rear panel of your Prestige.

Step 5. Prestige Initialization

The Prestige is powered on whenever you connect the power adapter to the power outlet. It will initialize the system and start to connect with headend CMTS. When the CABLE LED shines steadily, the Prestige is ready to handle data traffic. The first initialization process might take several minutes because it will scan for the proper downstream and upstream channels. When the P964 is ready, it will memorize the channel attributes. If
