WEB SERVER 6.1 System This page shows the basic information about your cable modem. You can get the H/W and S/W version of the cable modem. It also shows the Ethernet MAC address of the cable modem. 6.2 Startup This page provides information about the startup process of the cable modem. You may check this connection sequence to know the current status of your cable modem. It will display the current downstream frequency the cable modem locks on. 37 WEB SERVER 6.3 Signal This page provides important information about the status and quality of the communications between your cable modem and the cable modem network. 38 WEB SERVER 6.4 Status This page provides important information about the operational status of your cable modem and the devices that you have connected to it. 6.5 Log This page provides important information that can be used to resolve problems with your cable modem. 39 WEB SERVER 6.6 Wireless This page provides wireless connectivity within a range of several hundreds feet and acts as a bridge between your wired LAN and wireless PCs. This section shows you how to configure the wireless LAN setting. Wireless SSID (Service Set Identity): A name that uniquely identifies a wireless network. All clients that want to communicate with the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) must have the same SSID as it. Desired Channel: The frequency in which the radio links are about to be established. Usually the clients will scan the whole operable channels and then select the desired communications channel automatically. 40 WEB SERVER 6.7 WEP The privacy security function can enhance media security by encryption technology. All clients must set the same encryption key to maintain the tightened communication with the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) properly. To turn on the privacy function: Authentication Algorithm: Select Enable WEP as the authentication type. Select Enable WEP: Open Key If Open Key is selected as the authentication type, a wireless station can associate to any wireless network available in the air and receive any messages that are not encrypted. Note: Open Key is also referred as Open System in some models. Disable WEP: Shared Key With shared key authentication, only those wireless stations that possess the correct WEP keys can join the wireless network. WEP Encryption To enable WEP encryption function, select your encryption length as 64-Bit or 128-Bit. When entering your WEP keys, notice that your WEP keys must be comprised of hexadecimal characters (0-9, A-F, and a-f) and must contain 10 characters for 64-bit WEP Keys or 26 characters for 128-bit WEP keys. Default Tx Key: Select one WEP key from the four keys to encrypt the data you transmit. 41 WEB SERVER 6.8 Operation Setting the run mode, save configuration parameter and roboot. Cable modem operation mode default is router mode. 42 WEB SERVER 6.9 LanIP This page let the administrator to manage the private LAN interface. 6.10 NAT IP This page shows NAT IP Address, NAT MAC Address and Subnet Mask. The LAN configuration allows you to set the private IP address and Subnet mask information of Ethernet side. 43 WEB SERVER 6.11 DHCP Svr This page let the administrator to manage the build in DHCP server in Cable SOHO Gateway. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) dynamically assigns private IP addresses within its local network. It can lease the IP addresses for a user-defined amount of time. In our DHCP server, we can provide the information with lease time, domain name, client, DNS, and WINS server IP for local CPEs. We can also reserve some specific IP for the use of internal servers. 44 WEB SERVER 6.12 Mapping The page provides the administrator to set up the virtual server in the Cable SOHO Gateway. It provides the user of public network to access the certain service (such as FTP, Web, Telnet by utilizing application view) within private network. It also provides the function of IP and Port redirection. For example, we set up web server in internal server (IP: 192.168.100.5) and redirect the web server from TCP/8080 port as following setting: User defined port (8080) is virtual port. IP (192.168.100.5) is internal server IP. Port (80) is internal server port. 45 WEB SERVER 6.13 Filter The IP packet filters allow you to filter outbound packets that leave from the Cable SOHO Gateway. Basic Setting can let you do the filtering according to application protocol types, such as HTTP, FTP, Telnet, SMTP, POP3, DNS, NNTP, and RealAudio. Advance Setting can be set to check packets according to the combination of destination IP, netmask, port, and protocol type. 46 WEB SERVER 6.14 SaveCFG You can save configuration parameter to FLASH. 47 FAQ 7. FAQ Q1.Can I switch between a notebook and PC using the same cable modem? Will there be a problem to obtain a DHCP IP address? A. This issue depends on how your cable modem service provider manages the modems. If you are using one of the cable modem service providers that register your PC based on the MAC address of the Ethernet card in the PC, then you will have to call them and have them change that entry every time you switch between the two. Ask them if you have problem on this issue. Q2.Can I use the same cable line for TV and cable modem? A. Yes, the TV and cable modem uses the cable line. You need a splitter to use them at the same time. Ask Cable Company to install the splitter for you to avoid signal degradation. Q3. My cable modem cannot get a solid green light on the Status LED when I connect the cable back. A. The cable modem lost the signal during the disconnection period and it will keeps scanning other available signal. When you connect the cable back, it might take a while to find the correct channel. You can power cycle the modem to speedup the process since modem will remember the channel last time and it will start from that channel at startup. Q4. Which port of the Ethernet hub should I connect to the modem if I need to connect multiple PC to the modem? A. You should connect the modem to the up-link port of the hub. The link LED of the hub will be on. Q5. How do I see my IP address? A. If you are using Windows 95/98/Me, the winipcfg command will show you to IP address of the PC connected to the cable modem. Notice that even though you seem get the same address all the time, it may still be a dynamic address. Q6. Can I just connect the cable modem and two computers to a hub? A. Yes. You need to make sure you can get two IP addresses from your cable modem service provider. Connect the modem to the up-link port of the hub. 48 FAQ Q7. I have a cable modem. How can I make it work? A. Basically, modem is plug and play. You can just connect the modem and you are ready to go if you have the subscription. For ensure good signal for your cable modem, you should ask your cable provider to install the cable modem for you. FCC Caution 1. The device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules.
