Cabling the LAN
After connecting to the cable system, you can connect your wired Ethernet LAN.
Some sample connections are shown in the drawing below. On each networked
computer, you must install proper
drivers for the Ethernet adapter. Detailed
information about network cabling is beyond the scope of this document.
Wall Mounting Your SB6120
If you mount your SB6120 on the wall, you must:
• Locate the unit as specified by the local or national codes governing residential or
business cable TV and communications services.
• Follow all local standards for installing a network interface unit/network interface
device (NIU/NID).
If possible, mount the unit to concrete, masonry, a wooden stud, or some other very
solid wall material. Use anchors if necessary (for example, if you must mount the
unit on drywall).
Caution!
Before drilling holes, check the structure for potential damage to water,
gas, or electric lines.
If necessary, seat an anchor in each hole.
Make sure the AC power plug is disconnected from the wall outlet and all cables are
removed from the back of the SB6120 before starting the installation.
You can mount the SB6120 horizontally or vertically. Do the following to mount your
SB6120 on the wall:
1. See Wall Mounting Template to print a copy of the template.
2. Click the Print icon or choose Print from the File menu to display the Print dialog
