Installation and Configuration Overview
To install and configure your cable modem for a single PC running Microsoft Windows,
you can use the Installation Assistant.
Otherwise, to install and configure your cable modem:
1 Install the cables as described in one of:
• “Cabling and Startup for a Single User” on page 9
•
“Cabling for Multiple Users” on page 40
2 If you are using the USB port only, go to “Setting Up a USB Driver” on page 11.
Ethernet users can skip this step.
3 Configure TCP/IP and verify the IP address for your computer following one of:
•
“Configuring TCP/IP” on page 22
• Your Macintosh or UNIX user manual
To connect a single PC running Microsoft Windows
to a SURFboard cable modem, we recommend
using the Installation Assistant application.
You can start the Installation Assistant from the
Main Menu on the SURFboard Cable Modem
CD-ROM. In most cases, the Installation Assistant
automatically configures your cable modem.
