I plan to replace my cable modem. What do I need to provide to Cox? I have already verified that the modem model is on the support list.

Usually they will need at least the MAC address (different manufacturers say it differently so it might be MAC Id or HFC/Cable MAC), they will also need the serial number. I usually look at the S/N not the circled Customer S/N one - because the customer one is not reported by the modem on the CMTS side, just the rather long one that isn't circled. Please note: picture isn't mine. If you can't read the label there are two tricks: http://192.168.100.1/cmAddress.htm gives you the proper serial number and HFC MAC Address; or take a picture of the label with your smartphone and blow up (zoom in) the picture to make it easier to read.
