Connecting the Cable Modem for High-Speed Data Service

Connecting the Cable Modem for High-Speed Data Service

The following installation procedure ensures proper setup and configuration for the cable modem.

1Choose an appropriate and safe location to install the cable modem (close to a power source, an active cable connection, your PC—if using high-speed Internet, and your telephone lines—if using VoIP).

WARNING:

To avoid personal injury or damage to your equipment, follow these steps in the exact order shown.

Wiring and connections must be properly insulated to prevent electrical shock.

Disconnect power from the modem before attempting to connect to any device.

2Power off your PC and other networking devices; then, unplug them from the power source.

3Connect the active RF coaxial cable from your service provider to the coax connector labeled CABLE on the back of the modem.

Note: To connect a TV, DHCT, set-top box, or VCR from the same cable connection, you will need to install a cable signal splitter (not included). Always check with your service provider before using a splitter as a splitter may degrade the signal.

4Connect your PC to the cable modem using either of the following methods:

Ethernet Connection: Locate the yellow Ethernet cable, connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on your PC, and then connect the other end to the yellow ETHERNET port on the back of the modem.

Note: To install more Ethernet devices than ports provided, use an external multi-port Ethernet switch(es).

USB Connection: Locate the blue USB cable, connect one end of the cable to an available USB port on your PC, and then connect the other end of the cable to the blue USB port on the back of the modem.

Important: When using a USB connection, you need to install USB drivers on your PC. For assistance, go to Installing USB Drivers (on page 24).

Note: You can connect two separate PCs to the cable at the same time by connecting one PC to the Ethernet port and one PC to the USB port. However, do not connect your PC to both the Ethernet Port and the USB ports at the same time.
