Service?

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 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 (CM MAC)



Other MAC address numbers as needed

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

How Do I Subscribe to High-Speed Internet and Telephone Service?

I Already Have an Existing High-Speed Internet Access Account

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

I Want to Use the Application Server for Telephone Service
