Items You Need

If you are installing the Cable Modem yourself, make sure you have the following

items on hand before continuing:

•

Cable modem package

: see What’s in the Box? for a list of items in the

package.

•

Coaxial cable (coax)

: as shown in the picture to the left, this is a thin ca-

ble with a connector on each end. It is the same kind of wire used to connect

your television for cable TV. You can buy coax from any electronics retailer

and many discount stores; make sure it has connectors on both ends.

(There are two types of connectors, slip-on and screw-on; the screw-on

connectors are best for use with your Cable Modem.) The coax should be

long enough to reach from your Cable Modem to the nearest cable outlet.

•

Splitter (optional)

: provides an extra cable connection by splitting a single

outlet into two. You may need a splitter if you have a TV already connected

to the cable outlet that you want to use. You can buy a splitter from any

electronics retailer and most discount stores; you may also need a short

piece of coaxial cable (with connectors); use it to connect the splitter to the

cable outlet and then connect the Cable Modem and TV to the splitter.

Note:

A splitter effectively cuts the signal in half and sends each half to its two

outputs. Using several splitters in a line may slow down or stop Internet

communications, or cause snowy TV pictures.

•

Information packet

: your cable company should furnish you with a packet

containing information about your service and how to set it up. Read this

information carefully and contact your cable company if you have any ques-

tions.

Safety Getting Started Installation USB Drivers Usage Troubleshooting Glossary

Ethernet or USB?

There are two ways to connect your computer (or other equipment) to the Cable

Modem. The following will help you decide which is best for you:

Ethernet

Ethernet is a standard method of connecting two or more computers into a Local

Area Network (LAN). Use the Ethernet connection if your PC has built-in Ethernet

hardware, or does not use Windows, or you want to share the Cable Modem con-

nection with several computers.

Note:

To connect two or more computers to the Ethernet port, you need a hub

or broadband router (available at computer retailers).

The Cable Modem package comes with a 6-foot (1.9m) Ethernet cable (the connec-

tors look like wide telephone connectors); you can purchase more cables if neces-

sary at a computer retailer. If you are connecting the Cable Modem directly to a PC,

or to an Ethernet hub or broadband router with a cross-over switch, ask for

Category 5 (CAT5) straight-through cable. If you are connecting the Cable Modem

to an Ethernet hub or broadband router without a crossover switch, ask for a Cat-

egory 5 crossover cable.

USB

USB (Universal Serial Bus) is meant for connecting a variety of accessories, such

as keyboards, mice, printers, and communications devices (including cable mo-

dems) to a single PC. Use the USB connection if you have only one computer, and

the computer is using a Windows operating system (Windows 98 Second Edition or

later), and has no built-in Ethernet hardware.

The Cable Modem package comes with a 5-foot (1.6m) USB cable; you can pur-

chase a longer cable—up to 14-foot (4.25m)—at a computer retailer. Ask for a

USB

A/B cable

—it has a long narrow connector on one end (to connect to the PC) and

a square connector on the other end (to connect to the Cable Modem).

Both

If you have two or more computers, you can connect one computer to the Cable

Modem’s USB port and one or more to the Ethernet port. To connect two or more

computers to the Ethernet port, you need a hub or broadband router (available at

computer retailers).

For more information about connecting two or more computers, contact your cable

service provider.

What About Security?

Having a high-speed, always-on connection to the Internet requires a certain

amount of responsibility to other Internet users—including the need to maintain a

reasonably secure system. While no system is 100% secure, you can use the fol-

lowing tips to enhance your system’s security:

•Keep your operating system updated with the latest security patches. Run

the system update utility at least weekly.

•Keep your email program updated with the latest security patches. In addi-

tion, avoid opening email containing attachments, or opening files sent

through chat rooms, whenever possible.

•Install a virus checker and keep it updated.

•Avoid providing web or file-sharing services over your Cable Modem. Be-

sides certain vulnerability problems, most cable companies prohibit running

servers on consumer-level accounts and may suspend your account for vi-

olating your terms of service.

•Use the cable company’s mail servers for sending email.

•Avoidusing proxy software unless you are certain that it is not open for

abuse by other Internet users (some are shipped open by default). Crimi-

nals can take advantage of open proxies to hide their identity when breaking

into other computers or sending spam. If you have an open proxy, your ca-

ble company may suspend your account to protect the rest of the network.

•If you connect your Cable Modem to a wireless LAN, make sure you enable

security and encryption on the wireless hub (for the same reason that you

should run only secured proxies). Consult the documentation and technical

support of the wireless equipment provider for help.
