Before you can use your cable modem, you need to have a high-speed Internet
access account. If you do not have a high-speed Internet access account, you need to
set up an account with your local service provider. Choose one of the two options in
this section.
I Do Not Have a High-Speed Internet Access Account
If you do
not
have a high-speed Internet access account, your service provider will
set up your account and become your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Internet access
enables you to send and receive e-mail, access the World Wide Web, and receive
other Internet services.
You will need to give your service provider the following information:
The serial number of the modem
The Media Access Control (MAC) address of the modem
These numbers appear on a bar code label located on the cable modem. The serial
number consists of a series of alphanumeric characters preceded by
S/N
. The MAC
address consists of a series of alphanumeric characters preceded by
CM
MAC
. The
following illustration shows a sample bar code label.
Write down these numbers in the space provided here.

service provider the serial number and the MAC address of the cable modem. Refer
to the serial number and MAC address information listed previously in this section.
Note:
You may not be able to continue to use your existing e-mail account with your
cable modem. Contact your service provider for more information.
