Getting Service
Before trying to use your new Telephony Gateway, contact your local cable
company to establish an Internet account and telephone service. When you call,
have the following information ready:
the Telephony Gateway serial number and cable MAC addresses of the
unit (printed on a sticker on the bottom of the Telephony Gateway)
the model number of the Telephony Gateway
If the Telephony Gateway was provided by your cable company, they already
have the required information.
In addition, you should ask your cable company the following questions:
Do you have any special system requirements or files that I need to down-
load after I am connected?
When can I start using my Telephony Gateway?
Do I need a user ID or password to access the Internet or my e-mail?
Will my phone number(s) change?
What new calling features will I have and how do I use them?
