That's not a thing. Wall mounted Ethernet jacks don't need to be "activated", they just need to be wired and connected correctly. If you don't know how to check that, you need to get help from someone who does.

@BruceW​ Do they do it for free or how much will it cost?

I don't know it Comcast/Xfinity does work like this. If they do, I would expect them to charge their standard in-home service fee of $100.

If you don't have a technically minded friend you can call on, you'll probably have to pay a professional.
