How Do I Set Up My High-Speed Internet Access Account?
Before you can use your cable modem, 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 cable service provider.
Choose one of the following two options.
I Do Not Have a High-Speed Internet Access Account
If you do not have a high-speed Internet access account, your cable 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. When you contact your cable
service provider, they will ask you for the serial number and the Media Access
Control (MAC) address of the cable modem.
These numbers appear on a label located on the side of the cable modem. 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. See the following illustration of a sample label.

cable service provider the serial number and the MAC address of the cable
modem. Refer to the serial number and MAC address information listed
previously in this section.
Note: You may be able to continue to use your existing e-mail account with your
