Activating the EMTA
After you install the EMTA and turn it on for the first time (and each time the modem is reconnected to
the power), it goes through several steps before it can be used. Each of these steps is represented by a
different pattern of flashing lights on the front of the modem.
Note: All indicators flash once prior to the initialization sequence.
If all of the lights are flashing sequentially, it means the EMTA is automatically updating its system
software. Please wait for the lights to stop flashing. You cannot use your modem during this time. Do
not remove the power supply or reset the EMTA during this process.
To make sure that you can access the Internet successfully, please check the following first.
1.Make sure the connection (through Ethernet) between the EMTA and your computer is OK.
2.Make sure the TCP/IP protocol is set properly.
3.Subscribe to a Cable Company.
