Installing Your Modem
Linksys DPC3008/EPC3008
NOTE
Professional installation may be available. Contact your local
service provider for help.
Connect the modem
To connect the modem to home devices:
1.
Choose an appropriate and safe location to install the modem (close to
a power source, an active cable connection, and your computer if using
high-speed Internet). For help, see “Selecting a wall mount location” on
page 11 .
NOTE
Hazardous electrical voltages can exist on the Ethernet or coax
cable wiring. Be sure to disconnect AC power from all devices and
carefully follow all instructions below.
2.
Power off your computer and other networking device, then unplug
them from the power source.
3.
Connect the active RF coaxial cable from your service provider to the
coax connector labeled CABLE on the back of the modem.
NOTE
To connect a TV, DHCT, set-top box, or VCR from the same cable
connection, you will need to install a cable signal splitter (not
included). Always check with your service provider before using a
splitter, because a splitter may degrade the signal.
4.
Connect your computer to the modem by connecting one end of the
yellow Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on your computer, and the
other end to the yellow ETHERNET port on the back of the modem .
NOTE
To install more than one Ethernet device, use an external, multi-
port Ethernet switch or a cable router (not provided).
5.
Locate the AC power adapter provided with your modem. Connect the
barrel connector end of the power adapter into the POWER input on the
back of the modem. Then, plug the AC power adapter into an AC outlet
to provide power to the modem.
NOTE
If your modem is equipped with a power switch (located on the
back panel), make sure that the switch is in the ON position to
provide power to the modem.
The modem will perform an automatic search to locate and sign on to
the broadband data network. This process may take up to 5 minutes.
The modem will be ready for use when the POWER, DS, US and ONLINE
LEDs on the front panel of the modem stop blinking and remain on.
6.
Plug in and turn on your computer and other home network devices. The
LINK LED on the modem should be on or blinking.
At this point, the installation is complete and you can begin surfing the
Internet.
NOTE
If your computer does not have Internet access, see “Q. How do I
configure TCP/IP protocol?” on page 15 for information on how to
configure your computer for TCP/IP. For Internet devices other than
computers, see to the DHCP or IP Address configuration section of
the User Guide for those devices.
