Prepare for Installation
Before installing the CM212 cable modem, you should have active (two-way) cable
service and an Internet account with your cable provider.
Note: If you’re connecting a single computer to the modem, you may use either the
modem’s USB or Ethernet port. If you’re connecting more than one computer, you
must use the Ethernet port combined with a Router.
USB Connection
If you’re connecting the modem to one computer using the USB port, you must have:
•Windows®98 Second Edition, Me, 2000, or XP.
•An available USB port in the computer.
•A USB cable.
Note: There is one USB cable in the box with the cable modem.
Ethernet Connection
If you’re connecting the modem to one or more computers, for each computer you must have:
•An available RJ-45 Ethernet port (or adapter) –either built-in or from a network
interface card (NIC) installed on the PC.
•TCP/IP networking installed.
•Windows®computers: Client for Microsoft®Networks software installed.
Note: TCP/IP and Client for Microsoft Networks is installed on most Windows
computers. Please see Windows Help if you need help installing either on a
Windows computer.
•A Category 5 (Cat 5) Ethernet patch cable.
Note: There is one cable in the box with the cable modem.
Additionally, if you want to connect more than one computer to the modem, you need:
•A Ethernet router, hub, or switch (for example, RP614 Cable/DSL Web Safe Router
Gateway).
Note: If using a hub or switch, you may need to get additional IP addresses from
your ISP.

Install the Cable Modem
After unpacking the box, you can install the cable modem. You do not have to power
down any equipment to do this, but if you need to move your computer (perhaps to get
to a port in the back), you may want to shut down the computer before moving it.
USB Connection
Use the USB cable if you’re connecting the modem to one Windows-based computer and you
have an available USB port on your computer.
1. Connect the CATV cable from the wall outlet to the Cable port on the modem.
2. Connect the USB cable to the USB port on the modem and to a USB port on the computer.
3. Connect the power adapter into the back of the modem and then plug the adapter into a
power source (such as a wall socket or power strip).
Once the Modem establishes a link with your service provider, the PC will automatically detect
the modem on the USB port.
The Power, Cable, Status, and USB lights on the modem should be lit. If any of the lights are
not lit, go to Troubleshooting on page 13.
Note: The modem must be connected to the Coaxial Cable and established link
(Cable and Status Lights are solid Green) before your PC will recognize the modem.
Proceed to Chapter 3 page 6 to install the USB drivers.
