Easy as 1-2-3 Step 3-Connect the CableCaster

The CableCaster delivers all your personal and public channels throughout the house. The CableCaster usually replaces your cable splitter.  Refer to the figure on the next page while you install the CableCaster.

  1. Find your cable splitter.
    The splitter is usually in the attic, the basement, the utility room, the garage, or the crawl space.
    If you need a weatherproof case for installing the CableCaster outside, refer to the User's Guide.
  2. If you need the filter to block channels for your MediaCaster personal channel (see Step 1:  Install the MediaCaster, on page 1), connect the filter to the CableCaster ANT/CATV port.
  3. Move the cable from the splitter IN port to the CableCaster ANT/CATV port —connect the cable to the filter if the filter is connected to the port.
    For DSS:  DO NOT connect the DDS antenna to the CableCaster ANT/CATV port; leave it connected to the DSS receiver.

  4. Move each of the cables from a splitter OUT port
    to a CableCaster NET port (the ports with the green dot).
  5. Place a terminator on each unused CableCaster port.
  6. Go plug the IRCaster Wall Adapter into the electrical outlet.
    Return to the CableCaster and check to see that the green LED is lighted.
    Electrical power comes from the IRCaster.
    For this installation, the power connector on the CableCaster is not used.

Note:
You can use the screws and a Phillips™ screwdriver to attach the CableCaster to a mounting surface.
