Overview
If you are connecting the Cable Modem to your computer using the USB port, follow these instructions to install
the USB driver required for Windows Millennium.
Instructions for Installing the Driver
1. Power on your computer. Make sure you have administrative rights on your computer; otherwise you cannot
install the driver.
2. Windows Millennium will automatically detect the Cable Modem. Insert the User Guide and USB Drivers CD-
ROM into your computer’s CD-ROM drive.
3. On the first screen of the Add New Hardware Wizard, select Automatic search for a better driver
(Recommended). Then click the Next button.
4. Please wait while Windows Millennium finds and automatically installs the driver. When Windows Millennium
has finished installing the driver, click the Finish button.
5. The Windows Millennium driver installation is complete. Contact your cable ISP to activate your account. Your
cable ISP will need the MAC address for the Cable Modem in order to set up your account. The 12-digit MAC
address is printed on a bar code label on the bottom of the Cable Modem. Once you have given them this
number, your cable ISP should be able to activate your account.
Congratulations! The installation of the Cable Modem is complete.
