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. 

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 MAC. The 
following illustration shows a sample bar code label. 

 

Write down these numbers in the space provided here. 

Serial Number  _______________________   
 
MAC Address  ________________________ 

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.
