Internet Service: Before You Begin
Contacting Your Local Cable Service Provider
You need to set up an Internet access account with your local cable service provider
in order to use your cable modem. When you contact your cable service provider,
verify the following conditions:
• Does the cable service to your home support two-way, DOCSIS-compatible cable
modem access? If your cable service provider does not provide two-way service,
this modem will not be able to communicate with your cable service provider’s
Internet access service.
• Do you have an active RF coaxial cable connection near your PC? If your current
cable input is not conveniently located near your PC, your cable service provider
can install one.
• Do you have an Internet access account? Your cable service provider will set up
your Internet access account, and they will become your Internet Service Provider
(ISP) to enable you to send and receive e-mail, access the World Wide Web, and
receive other Internet services.
You may also need to give your cable service provider the following information:
• The serial number of the modem
• The Media Access Control (MAC) address of the modem
These numbers appear on a bar code label located on the cable modem. The serial
number consists of a series of alphanumeric characters preceded by S/N. The MAC
address consists of a series of alphanumeric characters preceded by MAC. The
following illustration shows a sample bar code label.
MAC Address
Serial Number
T10710
Selecting a Location for Your Modem
Select the location for your workspace and consider these recommendations:
• Position your PC and cable modem so that they are located near your cable input.
There should be plenty of room to guide the cables away from the modem without
straining or crimping them.
• Airflow around the cable modem should not be restricted.
• Read this user’s guide thoroughly before installing the cable modem.

Telephone Service: Before You Begin
Contacting Your Local Cable Service Provider
You need to set up a telephone account with your local cable service provider in
order to use your cable modem for telephone service. When you contact your cable
service provider, verify the following conditions:
• Does the cable service to your home support two-way, DOCSIS-compatible cable
modem access? If your cable service provider does not provide two-way service,
this modem will not be able to communicate with your cable service provider’s
Internet access and telephone services.
• Can you transfer your existing telephone numbers from another telephony service
provider to your current cable telephony service provider? In some areas, you may
be able to transfer your existing telephone numbers, or your cable telephony
service provider will assign a new telephone number for each current or
additional active telephone line. Discuss these options with your cable telephony
service provider.
You may also need to give your cable service provider the following information:
• The serial number of the modem
• The Media Access Control (MAC) address of the modem
These numbers appear on a bar code label located on the cable modem. The serial
number consists of a series of alphanumeric characters preceded by S/N. The MAC
address consists of a series of alphanumeric characters preceded by MAC. The
following illustration shows a sample bar code label.

Telephone Service: Before You Begin, Continued
Selecting a Location for Your Modem
You should work with your cable telephony service provider to choose the best
location for your cable modem. Consider these recommendations:
• Choose a location close to your computer if you will also use the cable modem for
high-speed Internet service.
• Choose a location that is near an existing RF coaxial connection to eliminate the
need for an additional RF coaxial outlet.

professional installer can connect the cable modem to your existing home
telephone wiring. To minimize changes to the home telephone wiring, you may
want to locate the cable modem near an existing telephone outlet. See Install the
Cable Modem to Provide Telephone Service, later in this guide for further
instructions.
• Choose a location that is relatively protected from accidental disturbance or harm,
such as a closet, basement, or other protected area.
• Choose a location so that there is plenty of room to guide the cables away from the
modem without straining or crimping them.
• Airflow around the cable modem should not be restricted.
• Read this user’s guide thoroughly before installing the cable modem.

Telephone Service: Telephone Requirements
Introduction
This section provides hardware and software requirements for utilizing your cable
modem for telephone service.
Number of Telephone Devices
The RJ-11 telephone-style connectors on the cable modem can each provide
telephone service to multiple telephones, fax machines, and analog modems. The
maximum number of telephone devices connected to each RJ-11 port is limited by
the total Ringing Load of the telephone devices that are connected. Many telephone
devices are marked with a Ringer Equivalent Number (REN). Each telephone port
on the cable modem can support up to a 5 REN load. The sum of the REN load on all
of the telephone devices attached to each port must not exceed 5 REN.
Telephone Device Types
You can use telephone devices that are not labeled with a REN number, but the
maximum number of attached telephone devices cannot be accurately calculated.
With telephone devices that are not labeled, each device should be connected and
the ring signal should be tested before adding additional devices. If too many
telephone devices are attached and the ring signal can no longer be heard, telephone
devices should be removed until the ring signal works properly.
Telephones, fax machines, and other telephone devices should use the center 2 pins
of the RJ-11 connectors to connect to the cable modem telephone ports. Some
telephones use other pins on the RJ-11 connectors and require adapters in order to
work.
Dialing Requirements
All of your telephones must support Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) touch-tone
dialing.
Important: Pulse dialing is not supported.
Telephone Wiring Requirements
The cable modem is designed to support interior telephone wiring. The maximum
distance from the unit to the most distant telephone device must not exceed 1000 feet
(300 meters). Use 26-gauge twisted-pair, or larger, telephone wiring.
Important: Connection to an existing or a new permanently installed home
telephone wiring network must be done by a qualified installer.

Installing the Cable Modem
Follow these steps to install the cable modem to provide telephone service.
1.
Connect a telephone, fax machine, or analog modem to each of the
appropriate RJ-11 ports on the cable modem.
Notes:
•
•
•
The cable modem provides one line of telephone service on each of the
RJ-11 connectors.
Service must be set up and enabled by the cable telephone service
provider.
The two center conductors (pins 3 and 4) on the RJ-11 connector provide
electrical connections to directly attached telephone devices or to a
permanently installed in-home telephone wiring network.
•
•
The telephone port labeled Line 1 also supports multi-line telephone
devices. Line 1 is supported on pins 3 and 4, and Line 2 is supported on
pins 2 and 5.
The use of telephones that require electrical connections to other RJ-11
pins requires an adapter.
2.
3.
After all telephone connections are complete, insert the AC power adapter
cord into the DC power connector on the back of the cable modem, and then
plug the power adapter into an AC power source.
Connect the active RF coaxial cable to the CABLE IN connector on the back of
the cable modem.
Note: Use an optional cable signal splitter to add a TV, a DHCT or set-top
converter, or a VCR.
4.
5.
The cable modem begins an automatic search to locate and sign on to the
network that provides the telephone service.
Note: This process may take up to 5 minutes. The modem will be ready for
use when the CABLE light on the front panel stops blinking and illuminates
continuously.
Test your telephone service by lifting the receiver of each attached telephone
to verify that dial tone can be heard and that you can make and receive
telephone calls.
Note: The Line 1 or the Line 2 front panel light also illuminates when the
attached device is “off the hook.”

must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the
company’s inside wiring associated with a single-line individual service may be
extended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The
customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not
prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian
maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by
the user may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to
disconnect the equipment. Users should ensure for their own protection that the
electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal
metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may
be particularly important in rural areas.
CAUTION:
Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should
contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as
appropriate.
