locked.

• The Upstream LED lights green when more than one upstream channel is locked.
• After the cable modem registers with your cable Internet provider, the Internet LED
lights green.
5. Turn off the computer to which you intend to connect the cable modem.
6. Use the Ethernet cable provided in the package to connect the LAN port on the cable
