Prestige 971M Quick Start Guide

Introduction

The Prestige 971M (P-971M) is a DOCSIS compliant full-duplex cable modem. In order to use your P-971M,

you need to establish an Internet access account with your cable service company.

Note: To identify your modem with the cable service company, you need to tell them the HFC MAC

address. This 12-character number is located on a bar code sticker on the bottom of the unit.

Once this information has been supplied to your cable operator and your line activated, your P-971M will obtain a

dynamic IP address(es) from your cable service provider whenever connected.

Note: See your User’s Guide for background information on all features.

This guide is divided into the following sections.

configurator from my computer.

The LAN LED is off.

Check the cable connection from your computer to the Prestige.

You must use Internet Explorer 6.0 (or later), or Netscape Navigator 7.0 (or

modem. If the cable looks to be in poor condition replace it.

Check with your cable operator to ensure your Internet account has been

activated. Be sure that you have given the correct HFC MAC address to your

cable operator.

Make sure your computer is configured for TCP/IP networking and is able to

receive a dynamic IP address (see section 4.1).
