[. . . ] Ethernet Connection: Locate the yellow Ethernet cable, connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on your PC, and connect the other end to the yellow ETHERNET port on the back of the cable modem. Note: To install more Ethernet devices than ports provided on the cable modem, use an external multi-port Ethernet switch(s). USB Connection: Locate the blue USB cable, connect one end of the cable to an available USB port on your PC, and connect the other end to the blue USB port on the back of the cable modem. Important: When using a USB connection, you need to install USB drivers on your PC. Note: You can connect two separate PCs to the cable modem at the same time by connecting one PC to the ETHERNET port and one PC to the USB port. However, do not connect your PC to both the ETHERNET and USB ports at the same time. 5 Connect one end of a telephone jumper cable (not included) to a telephone outlet in your home or to a telephone or fax machine. Then connect the other end of the jumper cable to the appropriate RJ-11 TELEPHONE port on the back of the cable modem. The telephone ports are light gray and are labeled 1/2 and 2 or 1 and 2 depending on the region of the world the cable modem is used. Notes: ­ ­ Make sure to connect your telephone service to the correct RJ-11 port. In North America, cable modems have multi-line capability on the RJ-11 telephone port labeled 1/2. Line 1 is on pins 3 and 4 of port 1/2, and Line 2 is supported on pins 2 and 5. Telephones that require electrical connectors other than RJ-11 may require an external adapter (sold separately). ­ 6 Locate the AC power cord provided with your cable modem. Insert one end of the power cord into the AC connector on the back of the cable modem. Then, plug the AC power cord into an AC outlet to power-up the cable modem. The cable modem will perform an automatic search to locate and sign on to the broadband data network. The 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. Part Number 4021203 Rev A 25 How Do I Connect the Cable Modem for Internet and Telephone Service? 7 Plug in and power on your PC and other home network devices. The LINK LED on the cable modem corresponding to the connected devices should be on or blinking. Once the cable modem is online, most Internet devices will have immediate Internet access. Note: If your PC does not have Internet access, refer to Frequently Asked Questions (on page 29) 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. 8 26 Part Number 4021203 Rev A Installing USB Drivers Installing USB Drivers Your IP cable modem features multiple networking interfaces that allow you to connect consumer electronic devices to your home network. USB 1. 1 is one of the technologies that enables Microsoft Windows-based PCs to connect to the home network. Important: Due to the inherent speed limitations of the technology, USB 1. 1 is not the optimal interface for high-speed networking. [. . . ] Verify that all cables are properly connected, and that you are using the correct cables. Verify that your TCP/IP is properly installed and configured if you are using the Ethernet connection. Verify that you have followed the procedures in Installing USB Drivers (on page 27), if you are using the USB connection. Verify that you have called your service provider and given them the serial number and MAC address of your cable modem. [. . . ]
