1Select locations for USB network devices. For more information, see How Do I Select and Place USB Network Devices? (on page 23).

2Connect the USB port on the cable modem to your computer.

3Connect one or more USB network device to the cable modem.

Note: If you want to connect more than one USB network device to the cable modem or to your computer, you will need to purchase and install a USB hub.

4Connect the active RF coaxial cable to the CABLE connector on the back of the cable modem. Use an optional cable signal splitter to add a TV, a DHCT or set- top converter, or a VCR.

5After all connections are complete, insert the AC power cord into the POWER connector on the back of the cable modem, and then plug the cord into an AC power source.

6The cable modem begins an automatic search to locate and sign on to the network. This process may take up to 5 minutes. The cable modem is ready for use when the ONLINE LED status indicator on the front panel stops blinking and illuminates continuously.

7Verify that all USB devices are working properly.

Note: You will not be able to check the front panel LED status indicator on the cable modem until after at least one USB network device is connected and operating on the network.
