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 two 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
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.
Serial Number _______________________
MAC Address ________________________
I Already Have an Existing High-Speed Internet Access Account
If you have an existing high-speed Internet access account, you must give your
service provider the serial number and the MAC address of the residential gateway.
Refer to the serial number and MAC address information listed previously in this
section.
Note: You may not be able to continue to use your existing e-mail account with your
residential gateway. Contact your service provider for more information.
