3.3 Activating the Cable Modem
1. Get your Internet service account information and the modem’s Information Card ready.
2. Make sure your computer is set to dynamically obtain an IP address.
3. Launch a web browser, and visit any website. You will be automatically redirected to your
ISP’s self-activation page.
If the self-activation page does not show up, call your ISP’s customer service.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to activate the modem, and wait for about 10 minutes till the
LEDs
become solid on.
5. Now you can use your computer to surf the Internet.
If you want to share the Internet access, connect a router to the modem instead. You need to
reboot the modem to get the router connected to the Internet.
Note:
1. If the Internet is not accessible, contact your ISP and make sure that the modem is activated.
2. For advanced configuration, log into the modem's web interface at http://192.168.100.1, and
enter admin (all lowercase) for both username and password when prompted.
