How Do I Connect Ethernet Network Devices?

3Connect additional Ethernet network devices by connecting an Ethernet hub or router to the cable modem.

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. In some unusual circumstances, this process may take up to 5 minutes. The cable modem is ready for use when the ONLINE status indicator on the front panel stops blinking and illuminates continuously.

7Verify that all Ethernet network devices are working properly.

Note: You will not be able to check the front panel LED status indicator on the cable modem until after one or more Ethernet network devices are connected to the cable modem.
