The Universal Serial Bus is a high speed bus that enables your computer to
communicate simultaneously with a variety of peripherals. If you have other
peripherals that send and receive a lot of information, such as speakers, printers or
scanners, we recommend using an Ethernet card to support this modem.
Connecting the Cable Modem
1. Connect one end of the coaxial cable to the cable connection in the wall, and the other end
to the connector on the modem labeled CABLE.
2. a. Insert the plug from the AC power supply into the power AC jack on the cable modem.
b. Insert the power cord into the AC adapter, and then plug into an AC outlet.
3. For USB Connection: Connect one end of the USB cable to the USB port on the back of
your computer, and the other end to the USB port on the cable modem's back panel. (See
page 9 for instructions on loading the USB driver.)
OR
For Ethernet Connection: Connect one end of the Ethernet cable (straight-wired, see
