See Front Panel LED Status Indicator Functions (on page 32), for more detailed
information on front panel LED status indicator operation and function.
The cable modem does not register an Ethernet connection
Verify that your computer has an Ethernet card and that the Ethernet driver
software is properly installed. If you purchase and install an Ethernet card,
follow the installation instructions very carefully.
Verify the status of the front panel status indicator lights.
The cable modem does not register an Ethernet connection after connecting to a hub
If you are connecting multiple PCs to the cable modem, you should first connect the
modem to the uplink port of the hub using the correct crossover cable. The LINK
LED of the hub will illuminate continuously.
The cable modem does not register a cable connection
The modem works with a standard 75-ohm RF coaxial cable. If you are using a
different cable, your cable modem will not function properly. Contact your cable
service provider to determine whether you are using the correct cable.
Your NIC card or USB interface may be malfunctioning. Refer to the
troubleshooting information in the NIC or USB documentation.
