How Do I Subscribe to High-Speed Internet and Telephone 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 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 (CM MAC)

Other MAC address numbers as needed

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.
