Zoom CableModem Manual page 12

Multiple USB-compatible devices can share one USB port through
the use of a hub or splitter cables. Because the Zoom USB Cable
Modem is a high-speed network device, we advise against sharing
its USB port with low-speed peripherals such as keyboards,
printers, or joysticks. However, you can share the port with other
high-speed devices such as external CD-ROM drives.
All connections are made on the rear panel of the modem as
shown below.
Cable and Power Connections
1
DO NOT connect the USB cable until after you install the
driver (see page 10).
2
Connect the coaxial cable to the cable jack on your wall.
Connect the other end of the cable to the cable connector on
the back of the Zoom Cable Modem.
3
Insert the small round end of the power cord into the power
socket on the back of the modem. Plug the power adapter into
the wall socket.
The cable modem now starts the automated power-up process that
is described below.
Automated Power-Up and Synchronization
The lights on the front panel (see above) indicate the status of the
power-up and synchronization process.
The READY light comes on when you connect the power adapter
to the wall socket.
