correction and V.42bis data compression. Disabling V.42

quality analog modem on a quality telephone line can
improve analog response time and thereby improve your
data throughput.
After you have configured your modem with these
parameters, you should be ready to connect to your cable
data service provider.
Using the Cable Modem TMX
You are now ready to point your browser at any site you
wish or launch your Internet software. As soon as you
initiate Web-based activity, the Cable Modem should dial
out to your BSP's server and establish your connection. This
should happen every time you start your computer now

Some Internet applications may produce a “time out” error
while waiting for your connection to be established. This is
normal. Once you’ve established a connection, refresh or
restart your Internet software.
See page 34 for information about interpreting the LEDs on
