Cabling and Startup for a Single User
Allow 5 to 30 minutes to power up the first time because the SB5102 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
Plug the power cord into the POWER connector on the cable modem and the
electrical outlet. This turns the SB5102 cable modem on. You do not need to unplug
it when not in use.
4
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.
