Ethernet
Configuration Usage
Connect one end of the coax cable to the cable outlet or splitter, and the
other end to the Wideband Cable Modem's Cable connector (C). Tighten the
connections by hand, then tighten an additional 1/8 turn with a wrench.
Note: For best performance, use high-quality RG-6 type coax cable and minimize
or eliminate splitters between the cable jack and the Wideband Cable Modem.
Insert the plug from the power cord into the Power connector (D) and insert
the power cord into a convenient AC outlet.
The Power light on the front of the Wideband Cable Modem should light up,
then start flashing. See Troubleshooting
After connecting the coax cable and power, proceed as needed:
• Making Ethernet Connections
• Making USB Connections
Do not connect the same computer to both the Ethernet and USB ports.
Connect one end of the yellow Ethernet cable to the yellow port on the back
of the Wideband Cable Modem labeled "Ethernet," (B) and the other end to
the Ethernet port on a computer, hub, or broadband router. Recommended
connections are 100Base-T or 1000 Base-T to achieve best performance.
Note: If you are connecting to a computer, use the Ethernet cable included in
the Wideband Cable Modem package unless it is too short. Longer Ethernet ca-
bles are available from any computer retailer. To avoid reduced data throughput
performance, do not connect the Wideband Cable Modem to a 10Mbps device.
(Wideband Cable Modems with USB ports only) Connect one end of the blue
USB cable to the USB port on the computer, and the other end to the USB
port on the back of the Wideband Cable Modem (C).
Your computer should detect the Wideband Cable Modem and begin in-
stalling the drivers. See Installing USB Drivers on Your PC
lation details.
