for use with your cable modem.  The cable modem requires TCP/IP to be installed.  Contact your 
cable service provider for assistance with installing and configuring TCP/IP. After installed the 
hardware, your computer can connect the cable modem directly by using Network Interface Card. 
Unlike USB installation, there is no needed for software installation for the Ethernet connection. 
 

 

This section explains how to connect the cable modem to the computer, wall cable outlet, and 
electrical outlet.   
To install the hardware: 

1.   Power off the computer 

2.   Connect one end of the coaxial cable to the cable modem’s cable connector.  Connect the other 

end of the coaxial cable to the cable wall outlet.  Be sure not to bend or over tighten the cables as 
this may strain the connector and cause damage.  If you plan to connect the cable modem and 
television to the same wall outlet, you must use a cable line splitter (not included). 

3.  Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the cable modem’s Ethernet port and the other end of 

the cable to the Ethernet port on the PC or network interface card (NIC). 

4.  Plug the cable modem’s power adapter into the cable modem’s power jack and into a wall outlet 

or surge protector. 

5.  If the POWER, ENET, SYNC, and READY LEDs are solidly lit, the   cable modem is working 

properly.    

 

 

Check the connection between the power adapter and the cable modem.  Power off the Cable Modem 

and wait for 5 seconds and power on the modem again. If the problem still exists, you may have a 
hardware problem.   

•  Try restarting the computer so that is could re-establish a connection with the cable modem. 
•  Check for a resource conflict (Windows users only).  To do this: 

1)  Right-click on the My Computer icon on your desktop and choose Properties.
