1. Before You Begin Your new cable modem provides high-speed access to the Internet by an active Internet Connection through your cable service provider. This user guide describes how to set up and use the cable modem. Before installing the cable modem, you should read this user guide to ensure proper cable modem operation.
Prepare Your Area for Cable Modem Installation Before installing your cable modem, you should first prepare your area. To do this: 1. Locate your cable outlet and ensure that it is located within proper distance of your cable modem and computer. Be sure not to bend the cable as this may strain the connector and cause damage. 2.
o An active Ethernet port on your PC or Macintosh Be sure to follow the instructions provided for the port that you want to use. Using the USB port allows you to install the cable modem more quickly and easily than using the Ethernet port, because you do not have to install and configure a network interface card (NIC). USB, however, only enables you to connect one computer to the cable modem.
To install the cable modem software drivers using the Windows operating system: 1. Double click the “Setup.exe” program in the CD. 2. Then the “Choose Setup Language” screen appears. You can choose the language you need and click “OK”. 3. You will see the following Welcome screen. 4. Click “Next>”. You will see the following Start screen.
5. Click “Next>”. You will see the following ‘Complete’ screen.
6. Click “Finish”. You will see below screen, and then select ‘Yes.’ Now you can connect the USB cable to the PC by following next section instructions. Installing the Hardware This section explains how to connect the cable modem to the computer, wall outlet, and electrical outlet. To install the hardware: 1. Power off the computer 2. Connect one end of the coaxial cable to the cable modem’s cable connector. Connect the other end of the coaxial cable to the cable wall outlet.
or surge protector. 5. You are now ready to install the software drivers. Installing the Software Drivers This section explains how to install the software drivers that your PC requires for the cable modem to operate. Installing the Software Drivers in Windows 98 SE Operating System CAUTION: You must install the drivers located on the CD that ships with your cable modem. If you use the default Windows-supplied software drivers, you will not be able to properly install the cable modem.
2. Insert the CD into the PC’s CD-ROM and click Next. You will see the following screen. 3. Select Search for the best driver for your device (Recommended). Then select Next. You will see the following screen.
4. Check the CD-ROM drive check box and verify that the CD is in the CD-ROM drive. Click Next to have Windows search for the necessary driver files. You will see the following 5. Select the updated driver (Recommended) Ambit USB Cable Modem and click next. You will see the following screen. CAUTION: You must verify that Ambit USB Cable Modem appears on the screen. If USB Composite Device appears, you must click Back twice and specify the correct location of the driver files.
6. Click Next. The computer automatically installs the necessary driver files. You may see the following screen 7. If the above screen appears, you must insert the Windows 98 CD so that Windows can copy the remaining files.
8. After files copying is done, you will see the following screen: 9. Click Finish to complete the installation. You will see the following screen.
10. Choose Yes to restart your computer. 11. After the computer is rebooted, verify that the USB LED is lit on the front of you cable modem. If not, refer to the troubleshooting section later in this chapter. Installing the Software Drivers in Windows Me Operating System To install the cable modem software drivers using the Windows Me operating system: 1. Power on your PC. After your computer boots, Windows detects the cable modem.
3. Select Automatic search for a better driver (Recommended) and click (Next). The computer automatically copies the necessary driver files from the CD. You will see the following screen.
4. Click Next. The computer automatically installs the necessary driver files. 5. Click Finish after the computer has copied the necessary files. You will see the following screen. 6.
Installing the Software Drivers in Windows 2000 Operating System To install the cable modem software drivers using the Windows 2000 operating system: 1. Power on your PC. After your computer boots, Windows detects the cable modem. The Found New Hardware screen appears, followed by the Found New Hardware Wizard screen. 2. Insert the CD into the PC’s CD-ROM Drive and click Next. You will see the following screen.
3. Select Search for a suitable driver for my device (recommended. Then select Next.
4. Check the CD-ROM drive check box and verify that the CD is in the CD-ROM drive. Click Next to have Windows locate the necessary driver files. You will see the following screen.
5. Click Next to install the driver files for the cable modem. You will see the following screen. 7. Click Finish to complete the installation. 8. After the installation is completed, verify that the USB LED is lit on the front of you cable modem. If not, refer to the troubleshooting section later in this chapter.

3. Click Finish to complete the installation. Troubleshooting the USB Installation None of the LEDs is on when I power on the LAN Cable Modem. Check the connection between the power adapter and the cable modem. Power off the LAN Cable Modem and wait for 5 Seconds and power on the modem again. If the problem still exists, you may have a hardware problem. When attempting to install the USB driver in Windows 98 SE, I receive the following error message: Device not installed at this time. Driver not found.
device drivers 4. Select USB Composite Device and click Remove 5. Click Refresh The Add New Hardware Wizard window appears, displaying the device name USB Composite Device. Refer to the proper operating system instructions in this chapter for information on reinstalling the driver properly. All of the LEDs on the front of my modem look correct, but I cannot access the Internet. • User’ Guide If the POWER, USB, SYNC, and READY are solidly lit, the cable modem is working properly.
• • Try restarting the computer so that it could re-establish a connection with the cable modem. Power cycle the cable modem by removing the power adapter from the electrical outlet and plugging it back in. Wait several minutes for the cable modem to re-establish communications with your cable service provider. • Remove any other USB devices from your computer and connect the cable modem’s USB cable directly to the USB port on your computer.
for use with your cable modem. The cable modem requires TCP/IP to be installed. Contact your cable service provider for assistance with installing and configuring TCP/IP. After installed the hardware, your computer can connect the cable modem directly by using Network Interface Card. Unlike USB installation, there is no needed for software installation for the Ethernet connection.
2) Click the Device Manager tab and look for a yellow exclamation point or red X over the NIC in the Network Adapters field. If you see either one, you may have an IRQ conflict. Refer to the manufacturer’s documentation or you cable service provider for further assistance. • • Verify that TCP/IP is the default protocol for your network interface card (NIC) Power cycle the cable modem by removing the power adapter from the electrical outlet and plugging it back in.

NAT/Routing mode ¾ ip natroute enable Enable NAT and Routing simultaneously. Enable natroute will also enable DHCP automatically for NAT-private subnet. Default NAT-private subnet is 192.168.100.0/27. DHCP is disabled automatically on public subnet. Example: RIPv2 with MD5 authentication mode enable, key-string “abcdefg” Public subnet 24.30.206.0/29 • (5) Static Public IPs 24.30.206.2~24.30.206.6 • Gateway IP address 24.30.206.1 NAT-Private subnet 192.168.100.
