Usage
1 Connect one end of the coaxial cable to the cable outlet or splitter, and the
other end to the Wideband Modem's Cable connector. Tighten the connec-
tions by hand.
Note: Improperly tightened coaxial cable connectors can cause data errors,
making your connection slower.
2 Insert the plug from the AC adapter into the Power connector on the Wide-
band Modem.
3 Insert the power cord into a convenient AC outlet.
The Power light on the front of the Wideband Modem should light up, then
start flashing. See Troubleshooting
4 Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the port on the back of the Wide-
band Modem labeled "Ethernet," and the other end to the Ethernet port on
a computer, hub, or broadband router. Recommended connections are
100 Base-T or 1000 Base-T to achieve best performance.
Note: If you are connecting to a computer, use the Ethernet cable included
in the Wideband Modem package unless it is too short. Longer Ethernet ca-
bles are available from any computer retailer. To avoid reduced data
throughput performance, do not connect the Wideband Modem to a 10 Mbps
device.
Troubleshooting
if the Power light does not turn on.
