Troubleshooting Tips (continued) Problem Action The signal on the TV is impaired after connection to the coaxethernet adapter. • Test the TV by connecting it directly, not through the coax-ethernet adapter. If it is still impaired, contact your TV service provider. • Confirm that the coax-ethernet adapter is installed correctly and that all cables are connected. • install an external splitter to connect to the cable wall outlet and connect the coax-ethernet adapter and TV to the splitter. Do not connect the TV to the Coax OUT connector on the coax-ethernet adapter. An amplifier is Installed to boost weak signal. • The typical amplifier cannot pass a coax-ethernet adapter signal because they are unidirectional. The amplifier should be uninstalled or bypassed, if possible. • To bypass an amplifier, install diplexers to separate the coax-ethernet adapter and any other signal first. Then, only install the amplifier for the path of the signal that is not intended for a coax-ethernet adapter. 4-2 Troubleshooting v1.0, December 2008

Troubleshooting
v1.0, December 2008
The signal on the TV is impaired
after connection to the coax-
ethernet adapter.
Test the TV by connecting it directly, not through the coax-ethernet
adapter. If it is still impaired, contact your TV service provider.
Confirm that the coax-ethernet adapter is installed correctly and that all
cables are connected.
install an external splitter to connect to the cable wall outlet and
connect the coax-ethernet adapter and TV to the splitter. Do not
connect the TV to the Coax OUT connector on the coax-ethernet
adapter.
An amplifier is Installed to boost
weak signal.
The typical amplifier cannot pass a coax-ethernet adapter signal
because they are unidirectional. The amplifier should be uninstalled or
bypassed, if possible.
To bypass an amplifier, install diplexers to separate the coax-ethernet
adapter and any other signal first. Then, only install the amplifier for the
path of the signal that is not intended for a coax-ethernet adapter.
