Connecting to a DSL or Cable Modem

Connecting to a DSL or Cable Modem

Many DSL or Cable modems require connection to a computer through a network interface card (NIC). To determine if your cable or DSL modem can be connected through a network interface card, you can either consult your modem’s documentation or simply look at the ports on the back of the modem. If your modem has a port that looks just like the one pictured below (similar to a standard phone jack, but a little larger), then the Belkin Desktop Network PCI Card is an easy way to connect to these modems and take advantage of high-speed internet access.

10/100Base-T Ethernet Connector

Connecting the hardware

To connect the modem to your Network Card, you will need an Ethernet "patch cable," or "CAT 5 cable". Most cable and DSL modems will require connection using a "crossover patch cable," however, some modems offer a second network connector labeled "Computer," which can be connected to the Network Card using a standard patch cable. To determine which cable to use, it is recommended that you consult your modem’s installation guide or user manual.
