automatically opening up the corresponding incoming port(s). It will automatically forward the traffic

on the incoming port to the computer that accessed the outgoing port. If your game uses one port to

send outgoing data and a different port (or ports) for incoming data, you may want to use port

triggering. You do not need to know the IP address of your gaming station to set up port triggering.

Once you’ve decided what type of security to use for gaming, you can set up that security using the

appropriate section of this manual:

Installing the Cable Modem/Router with

Wireless-N

This chapter provides basic instructions for connecting the hardware and configuring the Cable

Modem/Router with Wireless-N using the Zoom Configuration Manager. This chapter is almost

identical to the printed Quick Start.

Package Contents

Your package contains the following items:

•

Cable modem/router

•

Power cord

•

Ethernet RJ-45 cable

•

Quick Start flyer

•

CD with User Manual

System Requirements

•

You need to connect the cable modem/router to a cable modem service that uses any of the

popular DOCSIS standards – 3.0, 2.0, or 1.1. If you need to get cable modem service, please speak

with your cable service provider.

•

To use this User Manual, you need a computer, an iPad or another tablet, or a game console.

If your cable service provider provided a cable modem starter kit, please continue below. If you don’t

have or choose not to use the cable modem starter kit from your service provider, go to

How to

connect to a computer if you don’t have or choose not to use a cable modem starter kit

below.

If your cable service provider provided a cable modem starter kit

Some cable service providers supply a cable modem starter kit that can be useful when you install

your cable modem. The kit may include a coaxial cable for connecting between a wall jack and your

cable modem. (These are also available at most electronics retailers.) The kit will include instructions,

and may also include a CD with software. If you receive a kit like this, we recommend that you read

7

the kit’s instructions and use them to install your Zoom cable modem/router. This cable

modem/router is DOCSIS 3.0 certified by CableLabs, and connects like a normal cable modem.

You may be asked by your cable service provider to provide the

serial number

and

Cable MAC

address, which are printed on the label on the bottom of the modem. Your cable service provider may

also ask for your cable modem’s model name and number, which is

Zoom 5350

. You will need to

plug in the cable modem/router’s power cord, connect to cable modem service using a coaxial cable,

and then connect to a computer using either the included Ethernet cable or the wireless feature (see

Using the Cable Modem/Router to Make a Wireless Connection

).

Note:

Please refer to the

Hardware Connection

section if you would like to see a diagram of the

back of the cable modem/router and a description of the connections.

After you have installed your Zoom cable modem/router and it has synchronized itself with the cable

network, your cable modem/router can connect your computer to the Internet.

Note:

Allow 5 to 30 minutes to power up the first time because the cable modem/router must locate

and connect to the appropriate channels for communication. You’ll see the

DS

, and/or

modem lights flashing until the

Online

light stays steady green to signal success.

Now open your browser and go to a familiar Web site to check that the cable modem/router is

working.

If you want to connect the modem/router wirelessly to one or more devices, see

Connecting the Cable Modem/Router Wirelessly to Some Device

.

If you want to connect additional computers/devices using the modem/router’s

Ethernet/LAN ports, please see

Read This Only if You Are Connecting Additional

Computers and/or Other Devices to the Cable Modem/Router’s Ethernet ports

If you want to set up a wireless network, please refer to

Appendix A: Setting Up Your

Wireless Network

. (Most newer

Windows 7, Vista, and XP computers with built-in

wireless networking

capabilities do not require the installation of a wireless component. If

this is the case, you should set up that computer’s wireless connection if it isn’t already

configured using the Windows 7, Vista, or XP connect utility. See

Appendix A

for

instructions.)

1

Be sure your computer is on and the cable modem/router is unplugged.

Note:

Please refer to the

Hardware Connection

section if you would like to see a diagram of

the back of the cable modem and a description of the connections as you read the following

steps.

2

Connect one end of the coaxial cable to the cable outlet or splitter. Connect the other end of

the coaxial cable to the

Cable

connector on the rear panel of the cable modem. Hand-tighten

the connectors to avoid damaging them.

¾

You can connect a coaxial cable between an open cable service wall jack and the cable

modem. (If no wall jack is available, you can use a coaxial T connector or splitter.)

¾

Alternatively, there may already be a coaxial cable that is connected to service and that has

an open end for connecting to the cable modem/router.

3

Plug the power cord into the

AC IN

connector on the rear panel of the cable modem/router

and into the electrical outlet. This turns the cable modem/router on. Check if the

Power

LED

lights up.

4

For initial setup we recommend that you connect the provided Ethernet cable to any

Gigabit

Ethernet

port (GE / LAN 1, 2, 3, or 4) on the rear panel of the cable modem/router and

connect the other end to the Ethernet port on your computer. If you want to connect your

computer wirelessly instead, see

Connecting the Cable Modem/Router Wirelessly to Some

Device

.

Note:

Allow 5 to 30 minutes to power up the first time because the cable modem must locate and

connect to the appropriate channels for communication. You’ll see the

Please note the following:

•

Do not block the modem/router vents in any way.

•

Do not use the modem where it’s very hot or very cold.

•

Place the cable modem/router in a vertical orientation (using the “feet” at the bottom of the

unit to create a stable placement). The Power LED on the front panel should be at the top of

the unit.
