Accessing the Diagnostics Display through the CD-ROM

A button on the CD-ROM menu called “Look at Diagnostics” (found under the “About My Cable Modem” menu) launches your browser and displays status and diagnostic information stored within the modem in HTML format.

Your PC must receive an IP address assignment from the cable company’s server, over the cable network. You may want to “bookmark” the IP address in your browser after the diagnostics page is displayed.
