Chapter 1: Connections and Setup

Please verify the following with the cable company

The cable service to your home supports Euro-DOCSIS or DOCSIS compliant two-way modem access (note on frequencies for DOCSIS usage).

Your internet account has been set up. (The Media Terminal Adapter will provide data service if the cable account is set up but no telephony service is available.)

You have a cable outlet near your PC and it is ready for cable modem service.

Note: It is important to supply power to the modem at all times. Keeping your modem plugged in will keep it connected to the Internet. This means that it will always be ready when you are.

Important Information

Your cable company should always be consulted before installing a new cable outlet. Do not attempt any rewiring without contacting your cable company first.
