Installation procedure for connecting to the Ethernet interface 

Follow these steps for proper installation. 
Plug the coaxial cable to the cable wall outlet and the other end to the modem’s cable connector. 

Note:    To    ensure    a    fast    registration    of    the    modem,    the    coaxial    cable    must    be    connected    to    the    modem   
before   it   is   powered   on.   

Plug the power adapter into the socket of the cable modem and two-pin plug in the AC outlet then press 
the Power Switch, power on the modem. 

Note:   Only   use   the   power   adapter   that   comes   with   the   modem.   Using   another   power   adapter   can   cause   
damage   to   the   product,   and   will   void   the   warranty.      

Connect an Ethernet cable (direct connection, see below) to the Ethernet port at the back of the computer, 
and the other end to the ETHERNET port on the rear panel of the cable modem. The modem will seek the 
appropriate cable signal on the cable television network and go through the initial registration process on 
its own. The modem is ready for data transfer after the green LED "ONLINE" is lit continuously. 

Note:   the   button   "reset"   at   the   back   of   the   modem   is   used   primarily   for   maintenance.
