Getting Started
Your Zoom™ Ethernet (10/100BaseT) cable modem is
designed to connect your personal computer to the Internet
through the same cable that you use for television reception.
Contacting Your Cable Company
Please fill out the information in the following table before you
begin installing your Zoom cable modem. Your cable service pro-
vider needs this information to ensure that your modem connects
to the Internet successfully. Note: This manual assumes that you
have already arranged for cable modem service and established a
cable modem account with your cable company.

modem. You will be asked to provide it when you call for installation.

You Will Also Need
To complete your installation, you must have these items:
•Cable modem service provided by your cable company. The
service must be DOCSIS- (Data Over Cable Service Interface
Specification) or EuroDOCSIS-compatible, where applicable.
•A computer running the Windows®95, 98, NT 4.0, 2000, Mil-
lennium (Me), XP, or Linux operating system, or a Macintosh®
running System 7.5 or later.
•An Ethernet (10BaseT or 100BaseT) port in the computer you
want connected to your cable modem. If your computer
doesn’t have an Ethernet port, you will need to buy a Network
Interface Card (NIC) and install it before completing the cable
modem setup. Some cable operators offer the option of pro-
viding and installing the NIC card.
•A power outlet.
•A 75-ohm coaxial cable that will connect to the cable TV sys-
tem and that can reach to where you intend to place your cable
modem.
Note: Because there is great variety in the way cable is installed,
Zoom does not provide a coaxial cable to connect your
modem to your cable system. Your cable company may
provide the appropriate length cable for your use. If the
company doesn’t supply the cable, you should buy a coax-
ial cable with an RG-59 or RG-61U rating (75 ohm) and
industry-standard F connectors.
Tip: For best performance, do not use “push-on” F con-
nectors; use only “screw-on” F connectors.
