Using USB with the Windows 2000 Operating System
To use the USB port with Windows 2000:
1Power on the computer.
2Use the illustration on page 23 as a guide to make the
following connections:
aConnect the cable line to the cable modem’s CATV cable
connector. Be careful not to bend the wire in the center
of the cable line when you connect it to the cable
modem. After hand-tightening the CATV cable
connector, use the adjustable wrench to firmly tighten it.
Be careful not to over-tighten the connector or you may
damage either the connector or the cable modem. If
you plan to have the cable line connected to a television
as well as the cable modem, you will need a cabl e line
splitter (not included).

port and to the computer’s USB port.

or surge protector and into the cable modem’s power
jack. The Found New Hardware screen appears.
