1. DC +5V/2A Power Input Jack

The provided power adapter converts AC power to DC power for use with this jack. Power

supplied through this jack will supply power to the cable modem.

2. RF Connector

The connector may be located right next to the power input jack or the serial port. The F-

Type female connector allows cable data communication between the cable modem and

the cable service provider through a coaxial cable.

3. Serial Port

The 9-pin D-sub serial port supports the RS-232 terminal interface for advanced cable

modem management.

4. Reset Switch

The reset button, when pressed, resets the cable modem without the need to unplug the

power cord.

5. USB Port (optional)

The optional USB port allows the modem to be connected to your computer through the

USB interface.

6. 10/100-BaseT LAN Port

The LAN port supports 10Base-T or 100Base-TX networks. This port allows your PC or

Ethernet hub to be connected to the cable modem through a CAT.5 LAN cable.

Using the Cable Modem

Installing the

Cable Modem Take the following steps to accomplish the installation procedure:

1. Connect the cable TV coaxial cable to the input connector of a signal splitter.

2. Connect a coaxial cable from one of the output connectors on the splitter to the input

connector of your TV set.

3. Use another coaxial cable to connect the other output connector on the splitter and the

RF connector on the rear panel of the cable modem.

4. Connect the LAN cable from the LAN port on your computer to the LAN port on the

rear panel of the cable modem.

5. Connect the AC power adapter to the DC +5V/2A input jack on the rear panel of the

cable modem. Plug in the AC power adapter to an electrical outlet.

NOTE: If you are not using a television on the cable line, you may skip steps 1 to 3 and

connect the cable TV coaxial cable directly to the RF connector on the rear panel of the cable

modem.

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 comput-

ers to the cable modem as the number of the IP addresses, using a hub inbetween (as

shown below). Each connected client PC will then be assigned one dynamic IP address by

the cable operator.

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!
