Using Your Cable Modem
Once you’ve installed the modem and configured your browser to use a LAN, connecting to the Internet is as simple as clicking the icon that corresponds to the desired Internet application.
Note: At this time you may also want to install and use other software, such as the programs furnished by your cable service provider. Refer to the CD(s) for installation instructions.
Connecting to the Internet
When you have correctly installed the Zoom Cable Modem, it powers up and synchronizes itself with the cable network. The READY light, 10BT light, and SYNC light go on, indicating that the modem is fully operational.
To connect to the Internet, start your browser or other Internet application.
Ending an Internet Session
After you have completed your Internet session, just close your browser. The Zoom Cable Modem remains connected with the cable system and stays ready to open another session.
Unplugging the Modem
If the Zoom Cable Modem is unplugged or if power is lost for any other reason, all communication between the modem and the cable system is terminated. When the power is restored, the cable modem must go through the full synchronization process before you can connect to the Internet. This process is performed automatically when the modem is powered up.
