USB Port This port allows you to connect your Cable Modem to your PC using the included USB cable. Not all computers are able to use USB connections. For more information concerning USB and compatibility with your computer, see the next section.

The USB CABLE Icon
The USB icon shown below marks a USB port on a PC or device.
To use this USB device, you must have Windows 98, 2000, or Millennium installed on your PC. If you do not have Windows 98, 2000, or Millennium, this device will not work.
Also, this device requires that a USB port is installed and enabled on your PC. Some PCs have a disabled USB port. If your port doesn’t seem to be working, there may be motherboard jumpers or a BIOS menu option that will enable the USB port. See your PC’s user guide for details.
Some motherboards have USB interfaces, but no ports. You should be able to install your own USB port and attach it to your PC’s motherboard using hard- ware purchased at most computer stores.
Your Cable Modem with USB and Ethernet Connection comes with a USB cable that has two different types of connectors. Type A, the master connector, is shaped like a rectangle and plugs into your PC’s USB port. Type B, the slave connector, resembles a square and connects to the USB port on the rear panel of your Cable Modem.
