Section 2 - Installation
The cable modem enables you to connect to the Internet using either your computer's Ethernet or USB port.
Be sure to follow the installation steps for the setup you want to use. Using the Ethernet setup enables you to use a hub to connect
multiple computers to the cable modem. To do this, you might have to obtain additional IP addresses from your cable operator.
Using the USB port enables you to install the cable modem more quickly and easily than connecting to the Internet using the Ethernet
port, because you do not have to install a network interface card (NIC) into your computer. The USB port, however, only enables you
to connect one computer to the cable modem.
See "Installing the Cable Modem Using the Ethernet Port", or see "Installing the Cable Modem Using the USB Port" in the following
pages, for more information.
To install the cable modem using the Ethernet port:
• Any PC running Windows
• TCP/IP protocol installed.
To install the cable modem using the USB port:
• Any PC running Microsoft Windows Vista
• Original Windows Vista, XP, or 2000 installation CD or diskettes.
• An active USB port on your computer.
