THE FIRST THING YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BEGIN TO INSTALL…
1. Before installing, make sure your PC meets these requirements for hardware installation:
Microsoft Windows® 98SE, ME, 2000, XP, Vista, Mac OS or linux OS
Pentium® III or better, clock rate faster than 2.0GHz recommended
Resource on your PC
At least one free Ethernet port for 200Mbps Coaxial Ethernet Bridge
2. Your PC must not be configured for another network. This means that:
No network clients except for Microsoft Network*, Client for Netware* Networks, or Microsoft Family
Logon* are installed
No network services except file and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks or Personal Web Server*
are installed
No network protocols except Microsoft’s TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, NetBEUI, or Net BIOS support for IPX/SPX
are installed
3. Network installation requires two steps:
Install the 200Mbps Coaxial Ethernet Bridge
For each PC to be added to the network, repeat the process
4. Check that you have the following parts for each PC on the network:
Product installation guide for 200Mbps Coaxial Ethernet Bridge:
1. 200Mbps Coaxial Ethernet Bridge
2. Ethernet Cable (CAT 5)
3. AC Cord
5. Familiarize yourself with the Coaxial device connections:
6. Limitation of the Coaxial device:
The longest distance between coaxial cable will be limited at 800 meter. More than 800 meter will cause the signal
reduction or data loss.
THE FIRST THING YOU NEED TO KNOW

Product installation guide
To install PC local network and transmit data via coaxial cable:
1. Use the supplied Cat 5 Ethernet cable to connect the Coaxial Ethernet Bridge’s RJ45 connector and your PC’s
Ethernet port.
2. Use the coaxial cable to connect the Coaxial Ethernet Bridge’s F Connector and a coax jack on the wall.
3. Connect the power cord to Coaxial Ethernet Bridge and plug the power cord to outlet.
4. The Power LED indicator will light on after plugged to outlet.
5. You can repeat steps 1 to 4 for connecting as many other links depending on your needs.
6. The COAX/ACT LED indicator starts blinking when the data communication proceeds on coaxial cable.
7. The ETH/ACT LED indicator starts blinking when the data communication proceeds on Ethernet.
To share an xDSL with Internet access service via coaxial cable:
1. Connect one Ethernet Bridge to broadband router
Plug the provided Ethernet cable into the RJ45 connector of the Coax Ethernet Bridge and plug the
other end of the cable into an available Ethernet port of the Router.
Use coaxial cable to connect the Coaxial Ethernet Bridge’s F Connector and a coax jack on the wall.
Connect the power cord to Coaxial Ethernet Bridge and plug the power cord to outlet.
The Power LED indicator will light on after plugged to outlet.
2. Follow up the above section “To install PC local network and transmit data via coaxial cable”to install your
PC connection via coaxial cable. You will be able to access Internet through coaxial cable.

As wireless AP (Access Point) Extender via coaxial cable
Connect the Coaxial Ethernet Bridge to the AP:
Plug the provided Ethernet cable into the RJ45 connector of the Coaxial Ethernet Bridge and plug the
other end of the cable into the Ethernet port on the wireless AP.
Use the coaxial cable to connect the Coaxial Ethernet Bridge’s F Connector and a coax jack on the
wall.
Connect the power cord to Coaxial Ethernet Bridge and plug the power cord to outlet.
The Power LED indicator will light on after plugged to outlet.
To set up your coax network
If you would like to use the existing coaxial cable in your home to set up the coax network, you can follow up the
below procedure.
1. If you want to share the same coaxial cable for TV and coax network, please find a Coax Splitter to
deliver the signal to TV and PC. If you don’t need to connect to TV, please connect to PC via the Coaxial
Ethernet Bridge directly. You won’t need the Coax Splitter.

2. If you have a Router for the Internet Access. Please find a Coax Combiner to combine the data signal
from Router and CATV signal to the same coaxial cable. It is better to select the Coax Combiner
frequency range below 5MHz. Because the Coaxial Ethernet Bridge uses 2 to 28MHz frequency band for
the data transmission.
3. If there is Antenna in your house for the CATV signal receiving, please add on the CATV HPF (High Pass
Filter) to avoid the data signal to radiate outside via antenna. The CATV HPF can reject the frequency
band below 40MHz. If you don’t’ have antenna, the CATV HPF won’t be necessary.
