Connecting the SVG2500 to the Cable System

Before starting, be sure the computer is turned on and the SVG2500 is unplugged.

1. Connect one end of the coaxial cable to the cable outlet or splitter.

2. Connect the other end of the coaxial cable to the cable connector on the

SVG2500. Hand-tighten the connectors to avoid damaging them.

3. Plug the power cord into the power connector on the SVG2500.

4. Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet. This turns the SVG2500 on. You do

not need to unplug it when not in use. The first time you plug in the SVG2500,
allow it 5 to 30 minutes to find and lock on the appropriate communications
channels.

5. Check that the lights on the front panel cycle through this sequence:
