ODEM

The modem must be properly connected to the service provider’s cable
jack. If you are connecting both a TV and the modem to this outlet, you
will need to connect a splitter to the cable jack outlet. The splitter filters
the TV signal onto one cable and the network signal onto a second cable.
(See a typical example on page 9.)
1.
Connect a splitter to the cable jack.
2.
Connect a 75-ohm coaxial TV cable between the splitter and the cable
connector at the back of the modem. Ensure that you do not bend the
exposed center wire of the connector. Tighten both connectors by
hand.
3.
Connect the modem to a surge-protected power source.
4.
Connect the modem:
-
to a computer using the USB connection. (See “USB Installation
in Windows 98/ME/2000/XP” on page 9)
or
-
to a computer or Ethernet hub/switch using the Ethernet
connection. (See “Ethernet Installation in Windows” on page 10)
