How Do I Subscribe to High-Speed Internet Service?

Before you can use your residential gateway, 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 residential 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 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 residential gateway. 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 residential gateway. Contact your service provider for more information.
