Relationship among the Devices
This illustration shows a cable company that offers DOCSIS compliant data services.
Fig. 1-3 Connection overview
What the Modem Does
The Cable Modem provides high-speed Internet access as well as cost-effective, commercial, and
education subscribers on public and private networks via an existing CATV infrastructure. The IP traffic
can transfer between the Cable Modem and DOCSIS compliant head-end equipment. The data security
secures upstream and downstream communications.
What the Modem Needs to Do Its Job
"!The Right Cable Company: Make sure your local cable company provides data services that use
cable TV industry-standard DOCSIS compliant technology.
Check with your cable company to make sure you have everything you need to begin; they’ll know if you
need to install special software or re-configure your computer to make your cable internet service work
for you.
Contact Your Local Cable Company
You will need to contact your cable company to establish an Internet account before you can use your
cable modem. You should have the following information ready (which you will find on the sticker on the
cable modem):
•!The serial number.
•!The model number.
•!The Cable Modem (CM) Media Access Control (MAC) address.

Please check the following with the cable company
"!The cable service to your home supports DOCSIS compliant two-way modem access.
"!Your internet account has been set up.
"!You have a cable outlet near your PC and it is ready for Cable Modem service.
Note: It is important to supply power to the modem at all times. Keeping your modem plugged in will
keep it connected to the Internet. This means that it will always be ready whenever you need.
Important Information
Your cable company should always be consulted before installing a new cable outlet. Do not attempt any
rewiring without contacting your cable company first.
Please verify the following on the Cable Modem
The Power LED should be lighted when plug-in the power adapter.
Connecting the Cable Modem to a Single Computer
This section of the manual explains how to connect your Cable Modem to the Ethernet port on your
computer and install the necessary software. Please refer to Figure 1-5 to help you connect your Cable
Modem for the best possible connection.
