Chapter 2 Installing the DOCSIS Cable Modem

6Locate the AC power adapter provided with your cable modem. Connect the barrel connector end of the power adapter into the power input on the back of the cable modem. Then, plug the AC power adapter into an AC outlet to power- up the cable modem.

Note: If your Cable Modem is equipped with a power switch (located on the back panel), make sure that the switch is in the ON position to power-up the Cable Modem.

The cable modem will perform an automatic search to locate and sign on to the broadband data network. This process may take up to 2-5 minutes. The cable modem will be ready for use when the POWER, DS, US and ONLINE LEDs on the front panel of the cable modem stop blinking and remain on continuously.

7Plug in and power on your PC and other home network devices. The LINK LED on the cable modem should be on or blinking.

8At this point, the installation is complete, and you can begin surfing the Internet.

Note: If your PC does not have Internet access, refer to How Do I Configure TCP/IP Protocol? (on page 32) for information on how to configure your PC for TCP/IP. For Internet devices other than PCs, refer to the DHCP or IP Address configuration section of the User Guide or Operations Manual for those devices.
