Cabling and Startup for a Single User
Allow 5 to 30 minutes to power up the first time because the SURFboard cable modem
must find and lock on the appropriate channels for communications.
1
Be sure your computer is on and the cable modem is unplugged.
2
Connect one end of the coaxial cable to the cable outlet or splitter. Connect the
other end of the coaxial cable to the CABLE connector on the cable modem.
Hand-tighten the connectors to avoid damaging them.
3
Insert the SURFboard Cable Modem CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive.
4
Plug the power cord into the +12VDC connector on the cable modem and the
electrical outlet. This turns the SURFboard cable modem on. You do not need to
unplug it when not in use.
5
Check that the lights on the cable modem front cycle through this sequence:
•
Power flashes during the self-test and changes to solid green when the self-test
is successfully complete.
•
Receive flashes while scanning for the receive (
) channel and
changes to solid green when it is connected.
•
Send flashes while scanning for the send (
) channel and changes to
solid green when it is connected.
•
Online flashes while the cable modem downloads configuration data and
changes to solid green when the download is complete.
