Always connect coaxial cable to the wall outlet first.

Cabling and Startup for a Single User

Allow 5 to 30 minutes to power up the first time because the SB5102 cable modem must find and lock on the appropriate channels for communications.

1Be sure your computer is on and the cable modem is unplugged.

2Connect one end of the coaxial cable to the cable outlet or splitter. Connect the other end of the coaxial cable to the CABLE connector on the cable modem. Hand-tighten the connectors to avoid damaging them.

3Plug the power cord into the POWER connector on the cable modem and the electrical outlet. This turns the SB5102 cable modem on. You do not need to unplug it when not in use.

4Check that the lights on the cable modem front cycle through this sequence:

•Power flashes during the self-test and changes to solid green when the self-test is successfully complete.

•Receive flashes while scanning for the receive (downstream) channel and changes to solid green when it is connected.

•Send flashes while scanning for the send (upstream) channel and changes to solid green when it is connected.

•Online flashes while the cable modem downloads configuration data and changes to solid green when the download is complete.
