Initializing the Cable Sharing Gateway
This section outlines how to connect your Prestige to the LAN and the cable network.
Step 1.
Preparing the CATV Coaxial Cable Connection
Locate the coaxial cable at the installation site and move the cable end, or install a two-way splitter as
necessary to provide a connection near the Prestige cable modem location.
Step 2.
Connecting the Prestige to the Cable System
Connect the Prestige to the cable port using an F-type connector. (If the quality or general condition of the
coaxial cable at the installation site is in question, we recommended that you replace the coaxial cable). The
cable port on the Prestige is labeled "
CABLE
”.
Step 3.
Connecting Ethernet Cable(s) and/or USB cable to the Prestige
If you do not have an Ethernet interface card (NIC) in your computer, please install one or use the USB
connectivity. The Ethernet interface of your Prestige support 10/100M auto-negotiating and auto MDI/MDI-X
function. You can use any type of Ethernet cable to connect it to your computer directly or through an external
switch/hub.
Step 4.
Connecting the Power Adapter to your Prestige
Connect the power adapter to the port labeled POWER on the rear panel of your Prestige.
Step 5.
Prestige Initialization
The Prestige is powered on whenever you connect the power adapter to the power outlet. It will initialize the
system and start to connect with headend CMTS. When the CABLE LED shines steadily, the Prestige is ready
to handle data traffic. The first initialization process might take several minutes because it will scan for the
proper downstream and upstream channels. When the P964 is ready, it will memorize the channel attributes. If
