D-Link DCM-202 - Manual (Page 17)

This chapter describes how to install the cable modem using the USB port.
First you connect the hardware (cable modem and power adapter). You then
install the software drivers and verify that the modem is operating properly.
The USB port does not support the Macintosh operating system.
Using the USB port to connect to the Internet enables you to install the cable
modem more quickly and easily than connecting to the Internet using the
computer’s Ethernet port, because you do not have to remove the case from
the computer to install a network interface card (NIC). Using the USB port,
however, enables you to connect only one computer to the cable modem.
See “Installing the Cable Modem Using the Ethernet Port” if you wish to install
the cable modem using the Ethernet port.
CAUTION! Be sure to read this entire User’s Manual from front to back in
sequence before installing the DCM-202

Installing the Hardware (Cable Modem and Power
Adapter)
To install the hardware:
WARNING! Risk of electric shock. Do not expose the cable modem to water
or moisture.
1 Power off the computer (and television, if you plan to have the cable
modem and television connected to the same wall cable outlet).
2 Unplug the computer (and television).
3 Connect the coaxial cable to the cable modem’s cable television (CATV)
cable connector.
4 If you plan to have the cable modem and a television connected to the
same wall outlet, you must use a cable line splitter (not included).
5 Connect one end of the included USB cable to the USB port on the cable
modem and the other end of the cable to the USB port on the computer.
CAUTION! You must use the 12VDC/1.0A power adapter that comes with
the D-Link DCM-202 cable modem. Using the wrong power adapter can
damage the cable modem.
