NOTE: Before installing your
modem, write its serial number in the
space provided on the first page of this
manual. (You’ll find the serial number
above the bar code on the white sticker
on the back of the modem and on the
outside of the modem’s box.) If you
ever call our customer support
department, a representative will ask
you for the serial number. This will
help to identify your modem.
Before you begin installing the cable
modem hardware, you need to determine
how you want to incorporate the modem
into your work environment. There are
three installation options:
1. Wall-mount installation (this page)
2. Desktop installation (page 13)
3. OfficeConnect stacking installation
(page 13)
Wall-Mount Installation
Your cable modem is capable of being wall-
mounted, if you choose to do so. The
bottom panel of the cable modem has two
raised brackets with slots as shown in the
following illustration.
NOTE: Before wall-mounting the
cable modem, follow the instructions in
the section “Connecting the Cable
Modem to Your Computer” (pages 15-
18). Then return to this point to
continue the process.
