When the power supply is connected to the Cisco DVB CAR100, electrical current ﬂows through the CATV

coaxial cable. To avoid electrical shocks, always connect the CATV coaxial cable to the Cisco DVB CAR100

before connecting the power supply, and disconnect the power supply before removing the CATV coaxial cable.

Step 1 Connect the Cisco DVB CAR100 to the CATV network:

Connect the coaxial cable to the CATV wall outlet and to the socket labelled Cable on the rear of the

Cisco DVB CAR100.

Step 2 Connect the Cisco DVB CAR100 to the computer or hub:

If you have the Cisco DVB CAR100-PC, use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect the socket labelled

Ethernet to the computer’s Ethernet network adapter. If you have the Cisco DVB CAR100-LAN, use

astraight-through Ethernet cable to connect the socket labelled Ethernet to the hub’s Ethernet

network adapter.

Troubleshooting Tips

The Cisco DVB CAR100 can take up to 20 minutes to sign on the very ﬁrst time and,in extreme circumstances,

even longer. In such instances, contact your cable service provider for advice.

If the power LED on the front of the Cisco DVB CAR100 does not turn green after the initialization procedure,

the modem is not functioning correctly.

If the Cisco DVB CAR100 is powered off, it should remain off for at least 10 minutes before being restarted. If

the unit is powered on within 10 minutes, it is possible that it will fail to reestablish communication with the

service provider's headend unit. If this occurs, power the unit off again, and leave it off for at least 10 minutes.

Then power on the Cisco DVB CAR100 again,and communication with the service provider's headend unit

should be reestablished as normal.

Safety

Ensure free air ﬂow around the Cisco DVB CAR100 and power supply unit at all times to prevent

overheating.

Software Updates and Upgrades

Software Updates

Software updates for the Cisco DVB CAR100 are handled automatically by the cable service

provider by means of the CATV network. This requires no user intervention.

Note Cisco recommends leaving the Cisco DVB CAR100 switched on at all times so that

automatic software updates can be completed successfully.

Upgrading the Cisco DVB CAR100-PC to the

Cisco DVB CAR100-LAN

To upgrade the Cisco DVB CAR100 from the PC to the LAN version, contact your cable service

provider.
