Ethernet Connection to One Computer

Make the connections to the modem in the following sequence:

1.Connect one end of the coaxial cable to the cable connection in the wall, and the other end to the CABLE jack on the cable modem.

2.Connect the plug from the AC power supply into the POWER AC ADAPTER jack on the cable modem, and plug the power supply into an AC outlet.

Note: Use only the power supply that accompanied this unit. Using other adapters may damage the unit.

3.Connect one end of the Ethernet cable (straight-wired, see below) to the Ethernet port on the back of your computer, and the other end to the ETHERNET port on the cable modem.

Make sure that the Ethernet cable is straight-wired (not “null” or crossover-wired). However, you will need a crossover-type cable if you are connecting the modem to a hub, or a hub within a port switch that provides the same function.
