Belkin F5D5050 User Manual page 11

Belkin offers a full line of these cables, available from any major
retailer or distributor of computer-related products. To achieve the
best performance from your Cable or DSL modem, we recommend
the following part numbers:
Crossover Ethernet Patch Cable:
A3X126-xx-YLW-M, where "xx" denotes the cable length in feet
FastCAT5e Ethernet Patch Cable:
A3L850-xx-yyy-S, where "xx" denotes the length, and "yyy"
denotes the color of the cable
To connect your DSL or cable modem to the computer, make sure
you have first installed both the Belkin USB 10/100 Ethernet Adapter
and its drivers as detailed earlier in this manual. Once the hardware
and drivers are installed, plug one end of the Ethernet Patch Cable to
the connector on the USB/Ethernet Adapter, and plug the other end
into the connector on the modem.
Configuring your computer
Once the computer is connected to your DSL or cable modem, you
will need to configure your computer's network settings to access the
Internet using the modem.
Note: This section includes general instructions for configuring your
computer to use a DSL or cable modem, which work for most
DSL and cable service providers; however, some providers have
special requirements or non-standard configurations. If your DSL
or cable provider has provided instructions which differ from this,
please follow those instructions. If the procedure below does not
work for you, please contact your DSL or cable provider for
instructions on configuring your computer to use the modem.
