You should now contact your BSP and verify the following:

You have cable service to your home that supports cable modem access. If your BSP does not provide cable modem access, the 3Com U.S. Robotics Cable Modem TMX will not be able to communicate with your BSP’s Internet access service. Visit the following URL for additional information:

Your BSP has set up your cable Internet access account. Your BSP will establish an Internet access account that will allow you to send and receive e-mail, access the World Wide Web, and receive other Internet services. This account must be established before you can use your cable modem.

You have a cable line near your PC and it has been prepared for cable modem service. If you do not have a cable line in your home that supports cable modem access or if your current cable connection is not conveniently located near your computer, your cable company can install one. If you use your cable line for cable television access, your cable company can also install an additional line for use with your cable modem.

Preparing Your Workspace

Position your computer so that it is located near your cable outlet.

The cable modem should be located near your computer and the cable outlet. There should be plenty of room to guide the cables away from the modem without crimping the cables.

The modem should be located where it has ample space to allow constant airflow around the unit.
