Install the USB, Ethernet or serial cable

To install the USB, Ethernet, or serial cable, thread the cable through the vehicle and attach it to the USB, Ethernet, or serial connector on the MP modem.

Note: Do not connect the cables to the computer until you have installed the software. If you have an MP 595W and are planning on using a WAP connection, see “Plan your MP modem installation” on page 20 for more information.
