Connect the Ethernet port on the cable modem to your PC.
3
Connect additional Ethernet network devices by connecting an Ethernet hub or
router to the cable modem.
4
Connect the active RF coaxial cable to the
CABLE
connector on the back of the
cable modem. Use an optional cable signal splitter to add a TV, a DHCT or set-
top converter, or a VCR.
5
After all connections are complete, insert the AC power cord into the
POWER
connector on the back of the cable modem, and then plug the cord into an AC
power source.

The cable modem begins an automatic search to locate and sign on to the
network. In some unusual circumstances, this process may take up to 5 minutes.
The cable modem is ready for use when the
ONLINE
LED status indicator on the
front panel stops blinking and illuminates continuously.
7
Verify that all Ethernet network devices are working properly.
Note:
You will not be able to check the front panel LED status indicator on the
cable modem until after one or more Ethernet network devices are connected to
the cable modem.
