Step 1: Connect a cable by feeding the F-connector on the back of the cable modem. Ensure the
center conductor of the 75 ohm coaxial cable is inserted directly into the center of the
F-connector. Secure the coaxial cable by carefully threading the outer shell of the coaxial
cable connector onto the F-connector in a clockwise direction until tight. Be careful not to
over-tighten the connector or you may damage either the connector or the cable modem.
Step2: Connect the cable modem to an IEEE 802.3 10BaseT / 802.3u 100Base-TX Network using a
