Test the Cable Modem Connection
Although your computer may already be configured to automatically access the Internet, you should
still perform the following cable modem connectivity test to verify that your devices were connected
properly:
1. Power ON your computer and then log in.
2. Check that the Power, Receive, Send, and Online front panel LEDs on your SB6183 light up in
sequential order. See Front Panel for additional LED status information.
If an LED did not light up, see Troubleshooting Solutions for more information or call ARRIS
Technical Support at 1-877-466-8646 for assistance.
3. Contact your service provider to activate (provision) your SB6183.
Note: Your service provider may allow for automatic activation which will automatically launch their
special website when you open a Web browser.
4. After your SB6183 is provisioned, open a Web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Google Chrome,
Firefox, or Safari) on the computer connected to your SB6183.
5. Type a valid URL (for example, www. arrisi.com) in the address bar and then click or press
Enter.
The ARRIS website should open. If it did not open, do any of the following:
ο See Troubleshooting Solutions for more information.
ο Contact your service provider for assistance.
ο Manually set up the network options on your computer to access the Internet. See below for
more information.
