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
The WAN DATA MAC address of the modem
These numbers appear on a bar code label located on the cable modem gateway. 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
WAN Data MAC address consists of a series of alphanumeric characters preceded
by
WAN DATA MAC.
The following illustration shows a sample bar code label.
Note:
Due to minor design changes, the label on your cable modem gateway may
differ slightly from the one shown here.
