Although your computer may already be configured to automatically access the Internet, you should
still perform the following gateway connectivity test to verify that the devices were connected properly.
1. Power ON the computer connected to the C3000 if it is turned off, and then log in.
2. Contact ATMC to activate (provision) the C3000. You may have to provide the HFC MAC ID
listed on the gateway label.

or Safari) on your computer.

to contact ATMC to reactivate the C3000 or check for signal issues.
