Adding 2nd modem for home office

I just got this modem. I'm not at all computer literate. I have a cable connection in my garage that ran TV very well. Plugged in the modem and connected cable. It has been connected for quite a while now and the light for downsteam channel is still blinking. There have been no other lights blinking. Am I doing something wrong?

    Is the cable in the office connected back to the coax from the ISP? 

    Not all of them do and it needs to be connected for the ISP to actually connect to it.
