8 Zoom PCI Cable Modem Owner’s Manual
Step 1: Contacting your Cable Company
Before you install the Zoom PCI Cable Modem, contact your cable
company to arrange for cable modem service and to establish a
cable modem account. You should have the following information
ready before you contact your cable company:
The Media Access Control (MAC) address of your cable mo-
dem.
Some cable companies will ask for the Media Access Control
(MAC) address of your cable modem. The MAC address is lo-
cated on the label on the bottom of your PCI cable modem
card. In some models, there may be more than one MAC ad-
dress listed on the label. Your cable company will need the ad-
dress labeled Cable Modem MAC Address or C-MAC:. We
suggest that you record all of the cable modem MAC addresses
in the Important Information at the end of this manual. Af-
ter the PCI cable modem is installed, the label will not be visi-
ble, so record the MAC addresses now.
