Section 2 - Installation
Connecting the Cable Modem (without Router)
Step 1:
Power off your computer.
Step 2:
If you are replacing the modem, disconnect all cables and unplug the power to your old modem.
Step 3:
Connect the coaxial cable from your wall to the cable modem’s CATV cable connector. If you plan to have the cable connected to a television as well
as the cable modem, you must use a cable line splitter (not included).
Step 4:
Plug the cable modem’s power adapter into a wall outlet or surge protector and into the cable modem’s power port.
Step 5:
Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the cable modem’s Ethernet port and the other end of the cable into the Ethernet adapter of your computer.
Step 6:
In most cases you will have to call your cable company (Internet Provider) and register the MAC address of the D-Link modem. The MAC address is on
a label on the bottom of the modem.
Step 7:
When the modem is working properly, the Power, DS, US, Online, and LAN LEDs will all be lit.
Note: Remember to contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to register the MAC address of the DCM-301 or you will NOT be able to connect
to the Internet.
