Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the D-Link “Broadband Cable Modem with USB & Ethernet” DCM-201, which is an MCNS DOCSIS™ 1.1 cable modem featuring the latest DOCSIS technology.

The cable modem enables your network cable operator to provide you with broadband applications such as telecommunications, IP dedication for your small office/home office (SOHO), or high-speed residential Internet access. The cable modem provides a downstream speed of up to 38 Mbps from the cable network to your computer and 10Mbps from your computer to the cable network.

The DES data encryption helps ensure privacy for the transmitted information. Another distinctive feature of the cable modem is its easy installation, because DHCP and TFTP clients can obtain automatic access to the IP address and configuration from their network servers via the modem. SNMP agents permit remote configuration and monitoring from a management station equipped with an SNMP server.
