Cable Modem with USB and Ethernet Connection

Chapter 3: Connecting the

Cable Modem to Your PC

Connecting Using the Ethernet Port

1. Make sure that you have TCP/IP installed on your computer. If you don’t

know what TCP/IP is or you don’t have it installed, refer to the section in

“Appendix B: Installing the TCP/IP Protocol.”

2. If you have an existing cable modem that you are replacing, disconnect it at

this time.

3. Connect the coaxial cable from your ISP/Cable Company to the Cable Port

on the back of the Cable Modem. The other end of the coaxial cable should

be connected in the manner proscribed by your ISP/Cable Company.

4. Connect a UTP CAT 5 (or better) Ethernet cable to the LAN Port on the back

of the Cable Modem. Connect the other end of the cable to the RJ-45 port

on your PC’s Ethernet adapter or your hub/switch/router.

5. With your PC turned off, connect the power adapter included in your pack-

age to the Power Port on the back of the Cable Modem. Plug the other end

of the power cord into a standard electrical wall socket. The Power LED on

the front of the Cable Modem should light up and remain on.

6. Contact your Cable ISP to activate your account. Usually, your Cable ISP

will need what is called a MAC Address for your Cable Modem in order to

set up your account. The 12-digit MAC address is printed on a bar code label

on the bottom of the Cable Modem. Once you have given them this number,

your Cable ISP should be able to activate your account.

The Hardware Installation is now complete.

Your Cable Modem is ready to use.
