DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem
Power
Adapter
Home Telephone Wiring
Line 2
Ethernet
Cable
PCs
Home Telephone Wiring
Line 1
1. Before setting up the DPC3925 Cable modem, please ensure it is turned
off. Connect the RF coaxial cable from your service provider to the coaxial
connecter labeled “CABLE” on the back of the DPC3925 Cable modem.
2. Connect your PC to the DPC3925 Cable modem using the following
method.
•
Ethernet Connection: Locate the yellow Ethernet cable, connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on your PC, and connect
the other end to one of the four yellow ETHERNET ports on the back of
the DPC3925 Cable modem.
•
WiFi Connection: By default, WiFi access is enabled with WiFi security
disabled. The default SSID Name is the last 6 characters of the CM MAC
Address. The CM MAC Address can be found on the label attached to
the DPC3925 Cable modem or the packaging box.
Note: If your DPC3925 Cable modem comes with a USB port, please note
that all USB functions in the USB port are currently disabled.
3.
If you have a Telephone Service with your Service Provider, connect one
end of a telephone jumper cable (not included) to a telephone outlet in your
home or to a telephone or fax machine. Then connect the other end of the
jumper cable to the appropriate RJ-11 TELEPHONE port on the back of the
DPC3925 cable modem.
Notes: Make sure to connect your telephone service to the correct RJ-11
port. For single line telephone service, connect to port 1.
4.
Locate the AC power cord provided with your DPC3925 Cable modem.
Insert one end of the power cord into the AC connector on the back of the
DPC3925 Cable modem. Then, plug the AC power cord into an AC outlet
to power-up the DPC3925 Cable modem. The DPC3925 Cable modem
will perform an automatic search to locate and sign on to the broadband
data network. This process may take up to 2-5 minutes. The modem will be
ready for use when the POWER, DS, US and ONLINE LEDs on the front
panel of the DPC3925 Cable modem stop blinking and remain on
continuously.
5. Plug in and power on your PC and other home network devices.
• If you are connecting to the DPC3925 Cable modem via Ethernet
Connection, the LINK LED on the residential gateway corresponding to
the connected devices should be on or blinking. The link LED will be
green color if a 1000BASE-TPC is connected. The link LED will be amber
if a 10/100BASE-TPC is connected.
• If you are connecting to the DPC3925 Cable modem via WiFi Connection,
the WIRELESS LINK LED on the residential gateway should be on or
blinking.
6. Launch Internet Explorer and enter http://192.168.0.1 in the Address\URL
field. You will see the log in page. The default User Name is “admin” and the
default Password is “password”. Click the “Log In” button.
7. Click “QUICK SETUP” under the “SETUP” top menu bar to access to the
quick setup functions.
•
•
To prevent unauthorized access to your DPC3925 Cable modem to
change its settings, it is highly recommended to secure it by changing
the default User Name and Password.
To prevent unauthorized access to your DPC3925 Cable modem via its
WiFi Connection, it is highly recommended to change the default SSID
Name and enable Wireless Security Mode in your DPC3925 Cable
modem.
Tips for Improved Performance
Check and Correct
If your residential gateway does not perform
as expected, the following tips may help. If you
need further assistance, contact your service
provider.
• Verify that the plug to your residential
gateway AC power is properly inserted into
an electrical outlet.
• Verify that your residential gateway AC
power cord is not plugged into an electrical
outlet that is controlled by a wall switch. If a
wall switch controls the electrical outlet, make
sure the switch is in the ON position.
• Verify that the ONLINE LED status indicator
on the front panel of your residential gateway
is illuminated.
• Verify that your cable service is active and
that it supports two-ways service.
• Verify that all cables are properly connected,
and that you are using the correct cables.
• Verify that your TCP / IP is properly installed
and configured if you are using the Ethernet
connection.
• Verify that you have called your service
provider and given them the serial number
and MAC address of your residential gateway.
• If you are using a cable signal splitter so that
you can connect the residential gateway
to other devices, remove the splitter and
reconnect the cables so that residential
gateway is connected directly to the cable
input. If the residential gateway now
functions properly, the cable signal splitter
may be defective and may need to be
replaced.
• For best performance over an Ethernet
connection, your PC should be equipped
with a Gigabit Ethernet card.
