Modem Installation

Installing the Modem

Follow these steps for proper installation.

1.

Power down your PC and unplug it from the power source.

2.

Connect the active RF coaxial cable to the CABLE IN

 

connector. Use an optional cable signal splitter to add a

 

TV, a DHCT or set-top converter, or a VCR.

The following diagram illustrates one of the various connection options that are available to you.

3.

Connect your PC to either the Ethernet port or the USB

 

port using the appropriate data cable. You can connect

 

two separate PCs to the cable modem at the same time

 

by connecting one to the Ethernet port and one to the

 

USB port.

4.

Insert the AC power adapter cord into the DC power

 

connector on the back of the cable modem, and then

 

plug the power adapter into an AC power source.

5.

The cable modem will then begin an automatic search

 

to locate and sign on to the broadband data network.

 

This process may take up to 5 minutes. The modem

 

will be ready for use when the CABLE indicator on the

 

front panel stops blinking and illuminates continuously.

6.

Plug in and power up your PC.
