Elsa Cable User Manual

First, give your device the power it needs through the power supply unit! 

Connect the unit to your local network using the twisted pair cable.  Please check the
position of the node/hub switch: 'Node' is the correct position when connecting the unit
to a network.  Switch to 'Hub' when connecting the unit directly to a workstation.

Connect the 

ELSA MicroLink Cable

 to the TV cable network using the coaxial cable or the

adapter and a normal antenna cable.  Data is transmitted through the cable TV network
in accordance with the MCNS (Multimedia Cable Network System)/DOCSIS standard.

The connection to the cable TV network must provide a certain signal level.  This value
will be checked by your cable network operator and adjusted as required.

Switch the device on at the back.  The 'Power' LED on the front panel lights up after a
short self-test.  The 'LAN Link' LED indicates that the unit is correctly connected to the
LAN and that the Node/Hub switch is correctly set. 

If this LED is not lit, change the position of the Node/Hub switch.  If the LED still does not
light up, there may be a problem with the network adapter or the cabling.

The 

ELSA LANconfig

 configuration software for Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows

NT 4.0 may be used to configure the unit as required or to set it up for other applications.
Alternatively, you can perform the configuration via telnet from any other TCP/IP capable
computer (e.g. Linux, Solaris).  Install the TCP/IP network protocol, followed by the 

ELSA

LANconfig

 on the computer that will be used to set up the device.  If the setup program

does not start up automatically after insertion of the CD, start Windows Explorer, click
on 'autorun.exe' on the 

ELSA MicroLink Cable

 and follow the instructions in the install

program. 

The first time 

ELSA LANconfig

 is run, the new modem is automatically detected on the

TCP/IP network and can immediately be configured.

When configuring the router with 

ELSA LANconfig

, you can use the setup wizards to

quickly and conveniently guide you through the required settings.
