Using Your Cable Modem
Once you’ve installed your cable modem, connecting to the
Internet is as simple as clicking on the icon that corresponds to
the desired Internet application.
Connecting to the Internet
Once you have correctly installed the Zoom cable modem, it will
power up and synchronize itself with the cable network. The
PWR
light,
SYNC
light, and
10/100
or
USB
light will light up, indicating
that everything is complete. When you want to connect to the
Internet, start your browser or another Internet application.
Note:
Your browser should be configured so that it connects via
a LAN. If you need help changing the way it connects,
turn to page 17.
The Zoom CM Monitor Utility
The Zoom CM Monitor Utility works with Windows
98/2000/Me/XP computers. It is automatically installed when you
install the cable modem software.
The utility is intended for both end users and cable service provid-
ers. It is meant to eliminate or decrease the number of cable com-
pany “truck rolls” and to save subscribers and service providers
time and money.
For end users installing the modem themselves, should a question
arise pertaining to the installation, the application can help during a
call to the cable company.
