Abstract

After an initialization sequence is executed between the cable modem and a cable modem termination system (CMTS) the cable modem is assigned to a provisioning zone that prevents the cable modem from accessing services via a services network. While the cable modem is in the provisioning zone, however, it is allowed to access a provisioning network that it can use to register customer information with a provisioning server. The provisioning server then configures one or more accounts for the customer on a subscriber server based on the particular services requested by the customer during registration. Finally, the cable modem is reassigned to a service zone in which the cable modem is allowed to communicate with both the provisioning network and the service network through the CMTS.
