ABSTRACT:
A system and method for provisioning a user terminal for accessing a wideband cable data distribution network, such as an Internet-over-cable system, utilizes an auto-provisioning web server to allow provisioning of a user cable modem without need for a field technician to separately input associated modem identification information via a telephone. A LDAP directory is used to store all provisioning information, and is accessible by a DHCP server to selectively allocate network IP addresses to only provisioned terminals.
