Contact Your Local Cable Company

You will need to contact your cable company to establish an Internet account before you can use your
gateway. You should have the following information ready (which you will find on the sticker on the
gateway):
 The serial number
 The model number
 The Cable Modem (CM) Media Access Control (MAC) address
 The Terminal Adapter (EMTA) MAC address
 Security information: Service Set Identifier (SSID), Encryption key / passphrase (WPA2-PSK by
default), channel number. Default values are indicated underneath the modem on the sticker.
Please check the following with the cable company
 The cable service to your home supports DOCSIS/Euro-DOCSIS compliant two-way modem access.
 Your internet account has been set up. (The Media Terminal Adapter will provide data service if the
cable account is set up but no telephony 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 always be ready whenever you need.
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.
Please verify the following on the Wireless Voice Gateway
The Power LED should be lighted when plug-in the power supply.
