Connecting the Coax to the Home Network (if applicable)
With the HPNA card, the AT-iMG646MOD allows PCs, Set Top Boxes, VCRs, etc. to become members of
an ethernet subnet over the coax network that is already installed. Figure 8 shows an example of how the
devices could be configured. The coax-to-ethernet converter can be purchased as ATI Part Number AT-
iMG007..
Figure 8. Coax Network Configuration
To connect the coax cable, perform the following procedure:
1. Remove the grommet from the power cord entrance, cut a 1/4” “X” in it, and put it back in place.
2. Slip the coax through the grommet.
3. Connect the coax cable to the HPNA card, as shown in Figure 9.
4. Seal the grommet with tape and silicone and silicone sealant.
5. Tie-wrap the coax, using one of the secure posts or the bottom channel.
