Getting Started

Contacting Your Local Cable Service Provider
You need to set up an Internet access account with
your local cable service provider in order to use
your cable modem. When you contact your cable
service provider, verify the following conditions:

• The cable service to your home supports
two-way, Euro-DOCSIS-compatible cable
modem access. If your cable company does not
provide two-way Euro-DOCSIS-compatible
service, this modem will not be able to
communicate with your cable service
provider’s Internet access service.

• You have an active RF coaxial cable line near
your personal computer (PC), and is it capable
of two-way cable modem service. If your
current cable input is not conveniently located
near your PC, your cable service provider can
install one.

• You have an Internet access account. Your
cable service provider will set up your Internet
access account, and will become your Internet
Service Provider (ISP) to enable you to send
and receive e-mail, access the World Wide
Web, and receive other Internet services.

You must also give your cable 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 white bar
code label located on the side of the
cable modem. The serial number consists of
a series of alpha-numeric characters located
directly under the SER. NO. bar code. The
MAC address consists of a series of
alpha-numeric characters located directly
under the MAC bar code. The following
example illustrates a sample bar code label.
