Chapter 2 Installing the DOCSIS Cable Modem
20 4027620 Rev A
6 Locate the AC power adapter provided with your cable modem. Connect the
barrel connector end of the power adapter into the power input on the back of
the cable modem. Then, plug the AC power adapter into an AC outlet to power-
up the cable modem.
Note: If your Cable Modem is equipped with a power switch (located on the
back panel), make sure that the switch is in the ON position to power-up the
Cable Modem.
The cable modem will perform an automatic search to locate and sign on to the
broadband data network. This process may take up to 2-5 minutes. The cable
modem will be ready for use when the POWER, DS, US and ONLINE LEDs on
the front panel of the cable modem stop blinking and remain on continuously.
7 Plug in and power on your PC and other home network devices. The LINK LED
on the cable modem should be on or blinking.
8 At this point, the installation is complete, and you can begin surfing the Internet.
Note: If your PC does not have Internet access, refer to How Do I Configure
TCP/IP Protocol? (on page 32) for information on how to configure your PC for
TCP/IP. For Internet devices other than PCs, refer to the DHCP or IP Address
configuration section of the User Guide or Operations Manual for those devices.
