Chapter 2: Installation

This cable modem equips USB, wireless and Ethernet interfaces. You can choose either one to connect to the cable

modem. Go to the “Installation Procedure for Ethernet Interface” section, if your computer has installed TCP/IP and

Ethernet card with 10/100BaseT capability. Go to the section “Installation Procedure for USB Interface”, if your PC

has USB port and the operating system is Microsoft Windows 98/ME/XP or Windows 2000.

Note: You don’t need to do installation for wireless interface.

Installation Procedure for Ethernet Interface

Follow the steps below for proper installation:

1. Connect a coaxial cable (supplied by the local Cable Television Company) to the CABLE connector on the

modem.

Note: To speed up the registration process of cable modem, the coaxial cable should be

connected to the modem prior to the power connector.

2. Connect the RJ-45 Ethernet cable to one of the ETHERNET connector on the modem, connect the other end

with the 10/100BaseT Ethernet port on your computer.

3. Plug the power adapter into the POWER connector of the modem.

4. Plug the other end of the power adapter into a power outlet.

5. The cable modem will look for the proper cable modem signal in the Cable Television network and process the

initial registration. The cable modem is ready for data transfer after the LED “CABLE” is in solid green.

Note: The Reset button at the rear panel is for maintenance purpose only.

Chapter 5: Troubleshooting

If the suggested solutions in this section do not resolve your issue, contact your system administrator or Internet

service provider.

Can I use the same cable line for TV and cable modem?

A. Yes, the TV and cable modem uses the cable line. You need a splitter to use them at the same time. Ask Cable

Company to install the splitter for you to avoid signal degradation.

My cable modem cannot get a solid green light on the Status LED when I connect

the cable back.

A. The cable modem lost the signal during the disconnection period and it will keeps scanning other available signal.

When you connect the cable back, it might take a while to find the correct channel. You can power cycle the

modem to speedup the process since modem will remember the channel last time and it will start from that

channel at startup.

Which port of the Ethernet hub should I connect to the modem if I need to connect

multiple PC to the modem?

A. You should connect the modem to the up-link port of the hub. The link LED of the hub will be on.

How do I see my IP address?

A. If you are using Windows 95/98/ME, the winipcfg command will show you to IP address of the PC connected to

the cable modem. Notice that even though you seem get the same address all the time, it may still be a dynamic

address.

Can I just connect the cable modem and two computers to a hub?

A. Yes. You need to make sure you can get two IP addresses from your cable modem service provider. Connect the

modem to the up-link port of the hub.

I have a cable modem. How can I make it work?

A. Basically, modem is plug and play. You can just connect the modem and you are ready to go if you have the

subscription. For ensure good signal for your cable modem, you should ask your cable provider to install the

cable modem for you.

Can I switch between a notebook and PC using the same cable modem? Will there

be a problem to obtain a DHCP IP address?

A. This issue depends on how your cable modem service provider manages the modems. If you are using one of the

cable modem service providers that register your PC based on the MAC address of the Ethernet card in the PC,

then you will have to call them and have them change that entry every time you switch between the two. Ask

them if you have problem on this issue.
