5 Service Installation
G4200C (Local device) + G4201C, G4204C, G4204C-W (Remote devices)
5.1 G4200C (Local Device)
Step 1：Connect to uplink Ethernet port, 10/100/1000BT or 10G
If you use CAT5 cable is available, please connect to 10/100/1000BT port.
If you use fiber is available, please insert a proper SFP/SFP+ module into the cage and
connect the fiber to the SFP/SFP+ module.
Step 2：Connect to downlink coaxial cable to the G.hn port.
Step 3：Insert power cord and turn on the power switch.
The power LED will turn yellow, G.hn port green LEDs will be on shortly and then off. The
SYS green LED on the headend switch will turn on within one minute. If the remote clients
are connected and on, the LEDs on the G.hn ports will be on.
5.2 G4201C, G4204C, G4204C-W (Remote Devices)
Step 1：Connect to uplink coaxial cable to the G.hn port.
Step 2：Connect to downlink RJ-45 Ethernet port.
Step 3：Insert power adapter.
