CONFIGURE YOUR COMPUTER
Two steps are required to setup your computer.
1. Install a network interface card (NIC) and its associated drivers in your computer. The NIC
is not provided with the Canopy Subscriber Module. Refer to your computer's Users
Manual for instructions. The NIC provides an Ethernet port.
2. Configure your computer's TCP/IP protocol. Your Internet Service Provider typically
provides information about this configuration.
CONNECT THE SUBSCRIBER MODULE
As with any such installed devices, the Canopy Subscriber Module and the Ethernet cable must be
grounded in accordance with the latest revision of the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local
electrical codes to provide some protection against damage caused by near-miss lightning strikes
and other electrical discharges. The Canopy Surge Suppressor is such a device for this situation.
Connect the Canopy Subscriber Module, with the Canopy Surge Suppressor, to your computer as
described below. Refer to FIGURE 4 for a wiring diagram.
1. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the Canopy Subscriber Module RJ45 connector.
2. Connect other end of the Ethernet cable to the RJ45 connector in the Canopy Surge
Suppressor. Refer to the Canopy Surge Suppressor User Manual (part #: 300SS-UG-E)
for specifications.
3. Connect one end of another Ethernet cable to the other RJ45 connector in the Canopy
Surge Suppressor.
4. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the AC adapter*.
5. Plug the AC Adapter into an AC outlet.
6. Plug the other side of the AC adapter's Ethernet "pig tail" into your computer's Ethernet
port. DO NOT plug the Ethernet "pig tail" from the AC adapter into the Subscriber Module.
*The unused pins of the Ethernet cable (4,5,7 and 8) transmit power to the Canopy Subscriber
Module. DO NOT place other networking equipment on the Ethernet cable between the AC
adapter and the Subscriber Module.
