SB6120 Quick Installation
Guide Contains basic information for getting started with
the SB6120
You must have the latest service packs and patches installed on your computer for
your operating system. You will need a 75-ohm
coaxial cable with F-type connectors to
connect the SB6120 to the nearest cable outlet. If a TV is connected to the cable
outlet, you may need a 5 to 900 MHz RF
splitter and two additional coaxial cables to
use both the TV and the SB6120. The coaxial cable and RF splitter are available at
consumer electronic stores. Contact your Internet Service Provider for advice on
obtaining these components.
