Parts and Putting them Together

3. Establish an Internet Account

You need to contact your cable company to establish an Internet account
before you can use your Advance Cable Gateway.
You should have the following information ready (this can be found on the
sticker attached to the Gateway):
• The Serial Number
• The Model Number
• The Cable Modem (CM) Media Access Control (MAC) Address
• The Terminal Adapter (EMTA) MAC Address
• SSID, WPA2-PSK Information
Please verify the following with the cable company
• Your internet account has been set up.
(The Media Terminal Adapter will provide data service if the cable
account is set up but no telephone service is available.)
• You have a cable outlet near your PC and it is ready for Cable Modem
service.
Note:
It is important to supply power to the modem at all times.
Keeping your modem plugged in will keep it connected
to the Internet.
This means that it will be ready whenever you need it.
Important Information:
Your cable company should always be consulted before installing a new
cable outlet.
Do not attempt any rewiring without contacting your cable company first.
