Installing Your Cable Modem
Note: If your cable company provides you with an installation
procedure, follow it instead of the procedure described in
this chapter.
This chapter illustrates a typical cable installation in your home
or office and describes how to connect the Zoom Cable
Modem to your computer.
Installation consists of a few simple steps:
1. Requesting cable modem service from your local cable
company.
2. Connecting the modem and installing the USB driver.
3. Configuring your computer’s network settings.
Contacting your Cable Company
Before you install the Zoom Cable Modem, contact your cable
company to arrange for cable modem service and to establish a
cable modem account. You should have the following information
at hand before you contact your cable company:
1. The Cable Media Access Control (C-MAC) address of the
modem, located on the modem’s bottom case label.
2. The USB Media Access Control (U-MAC) address, also
located on the modem’s bottom case label.
We advise that you record all MAC addresses in the Reference
Information section at the end of this manual.
