2.2 Additional Installation Requirements
In addition to the contents of your package, there are other hardware and software requirements you need before you can install and
use your P964 APR. These requirements include:
1.
You must have a network interface card (NIC), USB and WLAN interface supported on your computer and configure the
TCP/IP protocol stack properly.
2.
An ISP account. Before installing your P964 APR, you need to establish an internet access account with your local cable
operator. They might ask for your cable router’s HFC MAC address and model number. Please locate the MAC address at the
back of your P964 APR.
NOTE: HFC MAC address can be found on the bar code sticker. Use the HFC MAC address when registering with
your cable company.
After the P964 APR is properly set up, you can make future changes to the configuration through telnet connections. The Telnet
configuration will be introduced later on.
