This guide provides the basic information needed to install the Cisco uBR925 Cable Access Router. The Cisco uBR925 Cable Access Router connects a cable TV (CATV) network to one or more computers using either an Ethernet network card or a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port. The Cisco uBR925 Cable Access Router supports both bidirectional data traffic and near toll quality Voice over IP (VoIP) traffic over a high-bandwidth cable connection.

Step 4 Click the IP Address tab, click Obtain an IP address automatically, and click OK. This configures the computer to obtain its IP address from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server during boot. Step 5 If your service provider has given you values for a default gateway, click the Gateway tab and enter those values for the default gateway.
Figure 13 TCP/IP Properties Window Step 4 Click Obtain an IP address automatically. Step 5 Click Apply. Step 6 Select the DNS tab and enter the DNS server information supplied by your cable service provider. Step 7 Click OK. Step 8 Restart the computer to force it to obtain a new IP address from the DHCP server.
