Can I switch my modem over to any other coaxial entry point in the house? Or does each jack have to be set up by an engineer sent over by my ISP.
I'm a bit afraid to just try it, in case connecting to an "unknown" coaxial jack could alter or reset my modem's settings, causing me to have to call my ISP, which is the very inconvenience I'm trying to avoid.
Sorry if this is a stupid question. My reasoning is that there doesn't appear to be a line coming down from the telephone pole for every single coaxial jack, so the splitting must occur on the ground-level; and therefore the coaxial jacks must be indistinguishable from one another.
But I'm not sure.

Thanks. The other coaxial point didn't work, so I ended up braving the crawlspace under my house to find out what went where, disconnected all the unused points and eliminated splitters, and redirected the originating line to the coaxial point I wanted to use. – Andrew Cheong – 2013-08-27T19:35:20.993
