Installing the Cable Modem 3
The setup sheet provided in your package and/or on the CD provides an illustrated step-by-
step procedure for setting up your modem. To summarize:
1. Make sure all “Before you start” requirements are met.
2. Look at the label on the bottom of the cable modem. This label shows the serial
number, the MAC (Media Access Control) address of your cable modem, and
the MAC address of the USB port. These numbers are unique to your modem.
Write them in the spaces below; you may need them for installation and future
reference. The CATV network uses the MAC addresses to communicate with
your modem.
Serial number _________________________
Modem MAC address___________________
USB MAC address _____________________
3. Connect the cable TV outlet to the input connector of a two-way CATV splitter
using an RG6 coaxial cable.
4. Connect a coaxial cable from one of the output connectors of the splitter to the
CATV port on the cable modem rear panel. The other output connector on the
splitter may be connected to other devices, such as your television or VCR.
5. Connect your computer to the cable modem using the Ethernet or USB port.
If you use your computer’s Ethernet port:
a. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to your computer’s Ethernet port.
b. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the
modem (labeled “10/100”).
c. Connect the 15VDC power adapter to the power port on the cable modem
rear panel (labeled “DC”). Plug the adapter into a power outlet.
d. Your configuration should look like Figure 4.
