Understanding Device Connections
Rear Panel:
- Voice 1-2: Use to connect analog telephones to the device. Telephone service must be enabled by the service provider.
- Cable: Use to connect to the coaxial cable from your Internet service provider. Ethernet (Internet): Connects to an Ethernet-enabled device such as a wireless router using an RJ45 Ethernet cable.
- Power: Connects to the power adapter. Plug the other end into the wall power outlet.
- Battery: Use to connect to an optional external battery. The battery connection is for voice services.
Installing Modem
- 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).
- 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).
- Connect an RJ-11 phone cable (not supplied) to the Voice 1 or 2 port on the modem (when provisioned for voice service as specified 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.
- Connect the power adapter (supplied) to the Power port on the modem. Connect the other end to a power outlet.

B | 3.7 +/- 0.1 |
C | 34.5 +/- 0.2 |
To mount the device on a wall:
- Install the 2 screws horizontally on the wall 140 mm (5.51 inches) apart.
Mount the device on the wall.
Resetting the Modem
Front Panel:
- Reset: Use the reset button to either reboot (power cycle) the modem or reset the device to factory default settings. When the reset button is pressed and held for 4 to 10 seconds, the device will reboot (power cycle). If the reset button is pressed and held for 10 seconds or more, the Spectrum eMTA will reset to factory default settings. Refer to the LED Behavior table on page 5 for the reset button LED behavior.
- Factory reset: Press and hold for more than 10 seconds to reset modem to factory default settings.
Note: You will see the ring and text illuminate when you press the button.
