Installation and Operation |
Installing a Single User
You can connect a single user to a SURFboard cable modem using the USB or Ethernet port. Allow 5 to 30 minutes to power up the first time because the SURFboard cable modem must find and lock on the appropriate channels for communications. To install the SURFboard cable modem for a single user:
1Be sure the subscriber’s computer is on and the cable modem is unplugged.
2Connect one end of the coaxial cable to the cable outlet or splitter (Always make the wall connection first). Connect the other end of the coaxial cable to the CABLE connector on the cable modem.
