Why does my cable modem have a 10/100 Ethernet port and a USB port?
The Toshiba PCX 1100U cable modem can connect to either a 10/100 Ethernet port
or a USB port on your computer. The cable modem should work equally well connected
to either port. (Note: the 1000 and 1100 models do not have a USB port.)
Do I need a driver for my cable modem?
If you plan to connect the Toshiba PCX 1100U cable modem to a 10/100 Ethernet port on your
computer, you do not need a special driver. If you plan to connect this
cable modem to a USB port on your computer, you will need to install
a driver. You can download drivers by clicking on the appropriate link
on the Toshiba Modem information page.
What Do The Lights On The Front Of My Modem Mean?
When connected to your computer correctly and operating normally, your Toshiba PX1100U
cable modem will have its Power, Cable, and PC lights lit solid green. The
flashing Data light indicates when data is sent or received by the cable modem.
