This guide provides the basic information required to install the ISDN Splitter in a customer premises.

Installation

The CPE-42 can be installed on any flat surface in a dry location inside the customer premises. The orientation
of the CPE-42 is not important but it should be positioned to provide easy access to the RJ-45 connectors.

The installation of the splitter requires 2, #8 – 2.54 cm wood screws. The screws should be inserted into the
tabs located at the top and bottom of the splitter and tightened until there is no noticeable movement when a
light force is applied to the splitter.

It is important to note that the CPE-42 should NOT be installed in locations where it might be exposed to
excessive moisture or extreme temperatures. The splitter should not be mounted behind doors or in areas of
high traffic where it may be impacted.

Grounding

This CPE-42 does not require an earth ground.

Connectors

The CPE-42 is equipped with three RJ-45 jacks to enable quick connection to
PHONE, LINE, and ADSL modem. Insert mating plugs from the phone, line, and
ADSL modem into the appropriate jacks.

- ADSL

- LINE

- PHONE

Testing the CPE-42

To test the CPE-42 for correct operation simply lift the handset of the phone connected to the PHONE port on
the splitter. You should hear dial tone. If the ADSL modem is correctly connected to the ADSL Port on the CPE­42 the ADSL Status light on your modem should be illuminated indicating ADSL service.

If the unit does not appear to function correctly contact the technical support number below.

Warranty

The CPE-42 is covered by a 3 year warranty under normal operating conditions. Defective units should be
returned to Comtest Advanced Networks where they will be replaced or repaired and returned to the user. The
CPE-42 contains no user serviceable parts. Opening the plastic housing voids the warranty and may expose
the user to hazardous voltages.
