Activating the Cable Modem

After you install the cable modem and turn it on for the first time (and each time the modem is
reconnected to the power), it goes through several steps before it can be used. Each of these
steps is represented by a different pattern of flashing lights on the front of the modem.
Note: All indicators flash once prior to the initialization sequence.
If all of the lights are flashing sequentially, it means the cable modem is automatically updating
its system software. Please wait for the lights to stop flashing. You cannot use your modem
during this time. Do not remove the power supply or reset the cable modem during this process.
