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 (downstream) channel and

changes to solid green when it is connected.

• Send flashes while scanning for the send (upstream) 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.
