You should now contact your local cable provider and verify
the following:
The cable service to your home supports two-way cable
modem access. If your cable company does not provide
two-way service, this cable modem will not be able to
communicate with your cable company's Internet access
service. You should immediately consult your cable
company and place of purchase to determine the
proper 3Com cable modem to use. You can also visit
the following URL for additional information:

Your cable provider has set up your cable Internet
access account. Your cable provider will setup an
Internet access account that will allow you to send and
receive e-mail, access the World Wide Web, and receive
other Internet services. This account must be setup
before you can use your cable modem.
You have a cable line near your PC and it has been
prepared for cable modem service. If you do not have a
cable line in your home that supports two-way cable
modem access, or if your current cable connection is
not conveniently located near your computer, your
cable provider can install one. If you use your current
cable line for cable television access, your cable
company can also install an additional line for use with
your cable modem.
Preparing Your Workspace
Position your computer so that it is located near your
cable outlet.
The cable modem should be located near your
computer and the cable outlet. There should be plenty
of room to guide the cables away from the modem
without crimping them.
Airflow around the modem should not be restricted.
Do not stack anything on top of the cable modem. (See
the instructions on page 14 concerning stacking this
modem with other 3Com OfficeConnect
