Powering Up
When all connections have been properly made and the power is ON, the
cable modem will automatically start the self-test and search for the active
cable channel provided by your cable operator. Now you are all set and
ready to surf the Internet at a marvelous speed!
Multiple Client Configuration
The cable modem supports up to 15 pieces of consumer premises equipment.
If you can obtain multiple IP addresses from your cable operator, you can
hook up as many computers to the cable modem as the number of the IP
addresses, using a hub in-between (as shown below). Each connected client
PC will then be assigned one dynamic IP address by the cable operator.
