Connecting the Cable Modem

Ethernet Connection

Make the connections to the modem in the following sequence:
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 adapter into the POWER AC ADAPTER jack on the
cable modem.
B. Insert the power cord into the AC adapter, and then plug into an AC outlet.
NOTE: Use only the Thomson power supply that accompanied this unit.
Using other adapters may damage the unit.
3. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable (straight-wired, see below) to the Ethernet
port on the back of your computer, and the other end to the ETHERNET port on the
cable modem's back panel.

Make sure that the Ethernet cable is straight-wired (not "null" or
crossover-wired). However, you will need a crossover-type cable if you
are connecting the modem to a hub, or a hub within a port switch
that provides the same function.
