E31U2V1 DOCSIS 3.1 eMTA Quick Installation Guide E31U2V1 Quick Installation Guide SAFETY NOTICES Device Grounding: Install the eMTA to include grounding the coaxial cable to the earth as close as practical to the building entrance per ANSI/NFPA 70 and the National Electrical Code
(NEC, in particular, Section 820.93, Grounding of the Outer Conductive Shield of a Coaxial Cable). The device is designed for IT power systems with phase-to-phase voltage at 120V. This unit requires a 100-240V, 50-60Hz power adapter. The power adapter must be keyed for proper polarization, and must be fully inserted to contact the back of the power connector port to ensure snug connection. Use only the supplied power adapter. Disconnecting the Device: If the eMTA becomes damaged or encounters some other abnormality, disconnect the power adapter from the AC wall outlet immediately. Temperature and Altitude: Install the device in a location not to exceed the maximum operating temperature of 104F (40C). Maximum operating altitude is 5000 m (16,404 ft.). PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION Verify package contents, RF cable connectors, and power outlet. Unpack the box and conrm the following components:
E31U2V1 1 Ethernet Cable
(RJ-45) 1 Power Adapter
(use only this adapter) Locate the RF (coaxial) cable connector on the wall. Verify the power outlet is working and is wired correctly. Place your eMTA within a proper distance from the outlet.

Ethernet (Internet): Connect to an Ethernet-enabled device such as a wireless access point (router) using an RJ45 Ethernet cable. 3. Connect an RJ-11 phone cable (not supplied) to the Voice 1 or 2 port on the modem (when provisioned for voice service as specied by the service provider), and connect the other end to the phone port of the telephone. If voice service is not provisioned through the service provider, telephone service is not available. Voice 1-2: Use to connect analog telephones to the device. Telephone service must be enabled by the service provider. 4. Connect the power adapter (supplied) to the Power port on the modem. Connect the other end to a power outlet. Cable: Use to connect to the coaxial cable from your Internet service provider. Power: Use to connect to the power adapter. Plug the other end into the wall power outlet. FRONT PANEL:
Reset: Use to reset the device settings. When the Reset button icon, and the surrounding ring are illuminated, press and hold the button for 4 seconds to initiate a power cycle. If the lights are not lit, the device can be factory reset. Press and hold the button for 10 seconds to reset the device to factory default settings. Note:
When the button and ring are lit, a power cycle must be performed prior to performing a factory reset. INSTALLING THE MODEM 1. Connect the coaxial cable (not supplied) to the Cable connector on the rear panel of the eMTA and connect the other end to the cable wall outlet. Do not bend or over tighten the cables, as this may strain the connector and cause damage. To connect an eMTA and a television to the same wall outlet, you must use a cable line splitter (not included). 2. Connect the Ethernet cable (supplied) to the Ethernet
(Internet) port on the back panel of the eMTA and connect the other end to an Ethernet port on a wireless router (or other Ethernet-enabled device).

RJ-45 Cable/RF 1 4 2 E31U2V1 Quick Installation Guide DEVICE WALL MOUNT INSTRUCTIONS You can mount the E31U2V1 on a wall using the 2 mounting brackets on the side of the device. Two round or pan head screws are recommended. See the gure below for measurements. Label Size in Millimeters (mm) A B C 9.5 +/- 0.2 3.7 +/- 0.1 34.5 +/- 0.2 To mount the device on a wall:
1. Install the 2 screws horizontally on the wall 140 mm (5.51 inches) apart. Note: The screws should protrude from the wall so you can t the device between the head of the screws and the wall. If you install the screws in drywall, use hollow wall anchors to ensure the unit does not pull away from the wall due to prolonged strain from the cable and power connectors. 2. Mount the device on the wall NOTE to CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV systems installer's attention to section 820-93 of the National Electric Code, which provides guidelines for proper grounding and in particular, specify that the Coaxial cable shield shall be connected to grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical. 3 E31U2V1 Quick Installation Guide LED BEHAVIOR LED COLOR DESCRIPTION Status Light BLUE Power Powering Up: Flashing between On Blue and O Normal Operation: On Blue Network Access Denied: If receiving power, On Blue Illuminated Text WHITE Powering Up and Fully Powered: On White Status Light BLUE /
