Installing the Cable Modem

The Ambit DOCSIS Cable Modem is designed to be positioned vertically or horizontally. To avoid thermal
problems, allow at least one inch spacing between the ventilation holes and any object to either side of the unit. It's
best to have no obstructions on top of the unit. The top of the unit should be at least two inches from any
obstruction.
Connect the cable modem using the following steps, referring to the figure below.
1. Connect the Cable TV coax to the input connector of a signal splitter.
2. Connect a coaxial cable from one of the output connectors of the splitter to the input connector of the
television set.
3. Connect a coaxial cable from the other output connector of the splitter to the RF input connector on the cable
modem rear panel.
4. Connect the 10BaseT signal cable from your computer to the 10BASE-T connector on the cable modem rear
panel.
5. Connect the AC adapter to the DC IN 12V 1A jack on the cable modem rear panel. Then plug in the AC
adapter to the wall electrical outlet.
The power indicator LED on the modem front panel will light, if power is present at the outlet. The modem will start
operating once power is connected. No additional operator intervention is required. It will automatically find the
data channel, register and connect to your computer.
Check the cable modem status. The front panel indicators (LEDs) show that the cable modem is operating
properly when they are in the following condition:
