Accessing the Diagnostics Display through the CD-ROM
A button on the CD-ROM menu called “Look at Diagnostics” (found under the
“About My Cable Modem” menu), launches your browser and displays status and
diagnostic information stored within the modem in HTML format.
Please note that before this page can be displayed, your PC must receive an IP
address assignment from the Cable company’s server, over the cable network.
After the diagnostics page is displayed, you may want to “bookmark” this IP
address in your browser.
