Before installing your cable modem, please read this.
You need to connect the cable modem to a cable modem service that uses any of the popular DOCSIS
standards – 3.0, 2.0, or 1.1. If you need to get cable modem service, please speak with your cable service
provider.
Your cable service provider will need to know your modem's MAC ADDRESS, which is printed on a label on
the bottom of your modem. You provide this when you order cable modem service, or by calling the cable
company before or after installing your modem, or by entering your CM-MAC ADDRESS on an account setup
web page that appears when you first connect your cable modem to your provider's network. Normally your
cable service provider will tell you when to provide the CM-MAC address. You may also be asked for your
cable modem's model name and number, which is ZOOM 5341J. If you need the modem's serial number, you
can find it near the MAC address on the label.
If you are replacing an "old" cable modem, do this:
1
Disconnect the coaxial cable from the old cable modem and connect it to your Zoom modem. If the
coaxial cable has a screw-on connector, turn the connector clockwise when tightening the cable onto
the Zoom cable modem.
2
If there's an Ethernet cable plugged into the old cable modem, unplug the Ethernet cable from the old
cable modem and plug it into the Zoom cable modem's LAN jack.
3
Connect the Zoom power cube between the Zoom cable modem and a live power jack. DO NOT use
your old cable modem's power cube on your Zoom cable modem. Make sure the cable modem's
Power Switch is ON.
