How Do I Set Up My High-Speed Internet Access Account?

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.

Serial Number _______________________

MAC Address ________________________

I Already Have an Existing High-Speed Internet Access Account

If you have an existing high-speed Internet access account, you must give your

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.
