DCM-100 Ethernet Cable Modem

Setting Up the Device

You will need to establish an account with your local cable operator in order to access the Internet with this

modem. They will assist you in setting up the modem to operate on their network.

Then for your modem to communicate with the cable service, you will first need to be able to identify the cable

modem. The Cable Media Access Control (CMAC) address is a unique number that is used for the purpose of

identifying the modem on the network. The CMAC address is found on the rear panel of the modem. You may be

required to provide this information to your cable service operator. For convenient reference you can write the

CMAC address in the space provided below.

The capabilities and limitations of your computer equipment and configuration can affect the overall performance

of your Internet connection.

The DCM-100 Ethernet Cable Modem is designed to work with the following operating systems:

♦ Windows 98/98 SE (Second Edition)

♦ Windows NT 4.0

♦ Windows 2000

♦ Windows ME (Millennium Edition)

♦ Active Ethernet Port or Nic Installed

♦ TCP/IP installed on all devices

All computers interface that are connected to the modem must have either an active Ethernet interface or

network interface card (NIC) installed. You will need to enable TCP/IP protocol on each computer. TCP/IP should

already be installed in any computer with an active Ethernet interface. The instructions for installing TCP/IP

vary depending on the type of system used. These instructions will be included with the NIC or discussed in the

computer's manual if your PC comes equipped with an Ethernet port. Your cable operator may have additional

instructions for TCP/IP configuration that must be followed.
