MG7310 Cable Modem User Manual 16 5.1.5 Event Log Choose Status > Event Log and the following page appears. Figure 8 Event Log information The Event Log displays information about your cable modem's connection to your service provider. This information may be particularly helpful if you experience problems with your connection. 5.2 Basic Router Choose Basic Router and the submenus of Basic Router are shown as below. Figure 9 Submenus of Basic Router 5.2.1 Setup Choose Basic Router > Setup , and the following page appears.
MG7310 Cable Modem User Manual 17 Figure 10 Setup configuration Enter the information from the Required Information section as indicated: At this point, the CM/RG is configured for basic use. To connect to the Internet, you must do the following: 1. Power up the CM/RG and wait for it to register with the CMTS and obtain an Internet-routable IP address 2. Get an IP lease from the internal DHCP server for each PC attached to the CM/RG. Note that communication on the LAN will work regardless of whether the WAN connection provided by the cable modem is up. However, you will not be able to access the Internet until the WAN connection is enabled and has an IP address. Some configurations settings are retrieved only once from non-volatile storage when the CM/RG first powers up. One such setting is changing the IPv4 Address parameters. Any changes to these settings will force the CM/RG to reset so that the new configuration can be read from non-volatile storage. When this mandatory reset is required, the web interface will notify as follows:
MG7310 Cable Modem User Manual 18 Figure 11 Reload page Simply wait for the modem to reboot and click on the “Refresh” link to re-enter the web interface where you made your last change. Most configuration items may be changed on the fly without a reboot. 5.2.2 DHCP Choose Basic Router > DHCP, and the following page appears.
MG7310 Cable Modem User Manual 19 Figure 12 DHCP configuration This page allows configuration and status of the optional internal DHCP server for the LAN. If you have your own DHCP server servicing the LAN side (or choose to “hardcode” all of your PC’s IP addresses), you can disable the internal DHCP server by chose the Disabled. If you do this, make sure the IP address assigned to the CM/RG is on the same subnet as the external DHCP server (the subnet mask is always 255.255.255.0), or you won’t be able to access the CM/RG from the LAN. The IP address of the CM/RG can be set from the Basic Router Setup page. You can also set the starting IP address for IP leases available to the LAN, and change the number of PCs supported on the LAN. In the case above, addresses 192.168.0.2 through 192.168.0.9 can be used as hard-coded IP addresses with no
MG7310 Cable Modem User Manual 20 fear of IP address conflict with the DHCP pool. Configured WINS server addresses can also be passed to CPEs behind the CM/RG via DHCP. 5.2.3 DHCPv6 Choose Basic Router > DHCPv6 , and the following page appears. Figure 13 DHCPv6 configuration This page allows configuration of the internal DhcpV6 server for the LAN. When modifying the System Delegated Prefix, set the System Delegated Prefix first, and press Save so that the system can calculate its LAN Delegated Prefix. 5.2.4 LAN IPv6 Choose Basic Router> LAN IPv6 and the following page appears.
MG7310 Cable Modem User Manual 21 Figure 14 LAN IPv6 information This page displays information related to IPv6 on the LAN. 5.2.5 DDNS Choose Basic Router > DDNS , and the following page appears. Figure 15 DDNS configuration This page is used to configure DDNS. Dynamic DNS (DDNS) allows a dynamic IP address to be aliased to a static, pre-defined host name so that the host can be easily contacted by other hosts on the internet even if its IP address changes. The CM/RG supports a dynamic DNS client compatible with the Dynamic DNS service (http://www.dyndns.com/). To activate the DDNS client: 1. Go to the Dynamic DNS website and create an account for the Dynamic DNS service. You will create a username and password, and be asked to choose a
MG7310 Cable Modem User Manual 22 host name for your server, and the dynamic DNS domain to which your host will be assigned. You will also be asked for your host’s current IP address. This is the WAN IP address that has been assigned to your CM/RG during provisioning. (See WAN IP Address on the Basic Router/ Setup web page.) 2. Enter your account information on the Basic Router/ DDNS web page, enable the service by selecting www.DynDNS.org from the DDNS Service drop-down list, and click Save. 3. The DDNS client will notify the DDNS service whenever the WAN IP address changes so that your chosen host name will be resolved properly by inquiring hosts. The current status of the service is shown at the bottom of the DDNS web page. 5.2.6 Backup/Restore Choose Basic Router > Backup/Restore and the following page appears. Figure 16 Backup/Restore setup In this page, you can save the current CM/RG configuration settings to a local PC. You can then later restore these settings if you need restore a particular configuration, or to recover from changes you may have made that have had an undesirable effect. To back up the current configuration, click Backup and follow the prompts. To restore a previous configuration, click Browse and use the navigation window to locate the file. (Usually GatewaySettings.bin, unless you rename it before
MG7310 Cable Modem User Manual 23 saving.) Once the file has been located, click Restore to restore the settings. Note that once the settings are restored, the device will reboot. 5.3 Advanced Router Choose Advanced Router and the submenus of Advanced Router are shown as below. Figure 17 Submenus of Advanced Router 5.3.1 Options Choose Advanced Router > Options to display the following page.
MG7310 Cable Modem User Manual 24 Figure 18 Options configuration This page allows you to configure the accessible features.To enable a feature, click the appropriate check box until it is “checked”. When you are satisfied with your selections, click on the Save button. These features can be modified on the fly without a system reset. WAN Blocking prevents your cable modem/router or the devices behind it from being visible from the Internet. This makes it difficult for hackers to discover your WAN IP
MG7310 Cable Modem User Manual 25 address and launch an attack on your private LAN. IpSec PassThrough enables a VPN device or VPN software located behind your cable modem/router and running IpSec to communicate successfully with endpoints on the Internet. PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) PassThrough enables a VPN device or VPN software located behind your cable modem/router and running PPTP to communicate successfully with endpoints on the Internet. Remote Config Management: When enabled, navigate to http://‹CM WAN IPAddress›:8080/ to administer your Cable Modem/Router remotely. You can find your Cable Modem/Router's WAN IP address on the Basic Setup page. Multicast :Allows multicast specific traffic to be passed to and from the PCs on your LAN behind your Cable Modem/Router UPnP: If you are running an application that requires UPnP, Enable UPnP. Primary Network Bridged: Enable or Disable the feature Pass Through These MAC Addresses. 5.3.2 IP Filtering Choose Advanced Router> IP Filtering to display the following page.
MG7310 Cable Modem User Manual 26 Figure 19 IP Filtering configuration This page allows you to configure the CM/RG to prevent local PCs from getting access to the WAN by specifying those IP addresses that should be filtered. By entering starting and ending IP address ranges, you can configure which local PCs are denied access to the WAN. Note that you only need to enter the LSB (Least-significant byte) of the IP address; the upper bytes of the IP address are set automatically from the CM/RG IP address. To activate the IP address filter, you must also check the “enable” box and click Save. The enable box allows you to store filter settings commonly used but not have them active. 5.3.3 MAC Filtering Choose Advanced Router > MAC Filtering to display the following page. Figure 20 MAC Filtering configuration This page is used to prevent PCs from sending outgoing TCP/UDP traffic to the WAN via their MAC address This is useful for the fact that the MAC address of a specific NIC card never changes, unlike its IP address which can be assigned via DHCP server or hard-coded to various addresses over time. 5.3.4 Port Filtering Choose Advanced Router> Port Filtering to display the following page.
MG7310 Cable Modem User Manual 27 Figure 21 Port Filtering configuration This page is used to prevent PCs from sending outgoing TCP/UDP traffic to the WAN on specific IP port numbers. By specifying a starting and ending port range, you may determine what TCP/UDP traffic is allowed out to the WAN on a per-port basis. Note the specified port ranges are blocked for ALL PCs and this setting is not IP address or MAC address specific. For instance, if you would like to block all PCs on the private LAN from accessing HTTP sites (or “web surfing”), you would set the “Start Port” to 80, the “End Port” to 80, the “Protocol” to TCP, check the “Enabled” box, and click Save. 5.3.5 Forwarding Choose Advanced Router > Forwarding to display the following page.
MG7310 Cable Modem User Manual 28 Figure 22 Forwarding configuration This allows for incoming requests on specific port numbers to reach web servers, FTP servers, mail servers, etc. so they can be accessible from the public internet. A table of commonly used port numbers is also provided. Forwarding allows you to run a publicly accessible server on the LAN by specifying the mapping of TCP/UDP ports to a local PC To specify a mapping, you must enter the range of port numbers that should be forwarded locally, and the IP address to which traffic to those ports should be sent. If only a single port specification is desired, enter the same port number in the “start” and “end” locations for that IP address. A table of commonly used Port numbers is supplied on the page for convenience. If both external and Local/internal port numbers are present, the Local port number is a mandatory field and the external port number is optional. If the external port number is used, the RG will perform a translation from external port number to internal port number.
MG7310 Cable Modem User Manual 29 5.3.6 Port Triggers Choose Advanced Router > Port Triggers to display the following page. Figure 23 Port Triggers configuration Port Triggers are similar to Port Forwarding except that they are not static ports held open all the time. When the CM/RG detects outgoing data on a specific IP port number set in the “Trigger Range”, the resulting ports set in the “Target Range” are opened for incoming (or sometimes referred to as bi-directional ports) data. If no outgoing traffic is detected on the “Trigger Range” ports for 10 minutes, the “Target Range” ports will close. This is a safer method for opening specific ports for special applications (e.g. video conferencing programs, interactive gaming, file transfer in chat programs, etc.) because they are dynamically triggered and not held open constantly or erroneously left open via the router administrator and exposed for potential hackers to discover. 5.3.7 RIP Setup Choose Advanced Router> RIP Setup to display the following page.
MG7310 Cable Modem User Manual 30 Figure 24 RIP configuration RIP (Router Information Protocol) is used in WAN networks to identify and use the best known and quickest route to given destination addresses to help reduce network congestion and delays. NOTE: RIP messaging will only be sent upstream when running in Static IP Addressing mode on the Basic – Setup page. You must enable Static IP Addressing and the set the Wan IP network information! RIP is normally a function that is tightly controlled via the ISP. RIP Authentication Keys and IDs are normally held as secret information from the end user to prevent unauthorized RIP settings. RIP is a protocol that requires negotiation from both sides of the network (i.e. CM/RG and CMTS). The ISP would normally set this up because of their knowledge of their CMTS settings to match the configuration in the CM/RG. To enable the CM/RG to perform RIP, do the following (this example uses BRCMV2 as the RIP Authentication Key and 1 as the Key ID): 1.) To turn on RIP MD5 Authentication, check the “Enable” box. 2.) To specify a RIP MD5 Authentication Key String, type “BRCMV2” for this example. key name = a string value to match CMTS key name value 3.) To specify a RIP MD5 Auth Key ID, type “1” key number = a number to match the CMTS key number value 4.) To change the RIP annoucement interval, type in a number in seconds.reporting interval by default = 30 seconds
MG7310 Cable Modem User Manual 31 5.) To specify a RIP unicast destination IP address, enter the IP address and subnet mask. To enable the CMTS for RIPv2 with MD-5 authentication (Cisco uBR example shown below): 1.) The following steps go through configuring RIPv2 for a Cisco CMTS. The network number used in this configuration will vary from network to network so use the network number that matches your set-up. 7223#configure terminal 7223(config)#key chain ubr 7223(config-keychain)#key 1 7223(config-keychain-key)#key-str BRCMV2 7223(config-keychain-key)#exit 7223(config-keychain)#exit 7223(config)#router rip 7223(config-router)#ver 2 7223(config-router)#no validate-update 7223(config-router)#passive-interface cable 2/0 7223(config-router)#network 10.0.0.0 7223(config-router)#exit 7223(config)#inter cable 2/0 7223(config-if)#ip rip receive ver 2 7223(config-if)#ip rip authentication mode md5 7223(config-if)#ip rip authentication key-chain ubr 7223(config-if)#exit 7223(config)#exit In this example, we have named the key chain ‘ubr’. This was chosen arbitrarily. You can use any name you like as long as you specify the correct name when specifying which key chain to use for RIPv2 authentication. 2.) The next step is enable RIP debugging to ensure that the CMTS is receiving and authenticating messages from the residential gateway. 7223#debug ip rip RIP protocol debugging is on
MG7310 Cable Modem User Manual 32 7223#term mon The CMTS is now configured to accept RIPv2 messages. If the CM/RG is registered on the CMTS, you should see messages that are similar to the message below: 00:28:41: RIP: received packet with MD5 authentication 00:28:41: RIP: received v2 update from 10.24.81.148 on Cable2/0 00:28:41: 10.24.81.0/24 via 10.24.81.148 in 1 hops The CM/RG has broadcast that is connected to the network 10.24.81.0/24 through the interface 10.24.81.148. This information is not very useful to the CMTS because it already knows that the network 10.24.81.0/24 is connected directly to one of its interfaces (Cable2/0). It ignores this message and doesn’t add any information to the IP routing table. Here is the IP routing table after the CMTS has received RIPv2 messages: 7223#sh ip route Codes: C - connected, S - static, I - IGRP, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2 E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2, E - EGP i - IS-IS, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2, ia - IS-IS inter area * - candidate default, U - per-user static route, o - ODR P - periodic downloaded static route Gateway of last resort is 10.24.95.17 to network 0.0.0.0 10.0.0.0/8 is variably subnetted, 3 subnets, 2 masks C 10.24.80.0/24 is directly connected, Cable2/0 C 10.24.81.0/24 is directly connected, Cable2/0 C 10.24.95.16/28 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0 S* 0.0.0.0/0 [1/0] via 10.24.95.17 In the example above, the CM/RG was set up to send RIPv2 messages to the CMTS. The CMTS was also set up to receive these messages. 5.3.8 DMZ Host Choose Advanced Router > DMZ Host to display the following page.
MG7310 Cable Modem User Manual 33 Figure 25 DMZ Host configuration DMZ (De-militarized Zone) hosting (also commonly referred to as “Exposed Host”) allows you to specify the “default” recipient of WAN traffic that NAT is unable to translate to a known local PC. This can also be described as a computer or small sub-network that sits between the trusted internal private LAN, and the untrusted public Internet. You may configure one PC to be the DMZ host. This setting is generally used for PC’s using “problem” applications that use random port numbers and do not function correctly with specific port triggers or port forwarding setups mentioned earlier. If a specific PC is set as a DMZ Host, remember to set this back to “0” when finished with the needed application, since this PC will be effectively exposed to the public Internet, though still protected from Denial of Service (DoS) attacks via the Firewall. 5.4 Wireless Choose Wireless and the submenus of Wireless are shown as below. Figure 26 The submenus of Wireless 5.4.1 Basic Choose Wireless > Basic to display the following page.

Guest networks may still be operational when the primary network is disabled. Network Name (SSID): Sets the Network Name (also known as SSID) of the primary network.This is a 1-32 ASCII character string. WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK Security Key / Password: Motorola assigned your device a unique Security Key (or Password) at the factory. This security key is displayed here. If you want, you can change the security key by entering the new key here and then clicking the Save button. Channel: Selects the control channel for AP operation.The list of available channels depends on the selected country as presented in. Bandwidth: 802.11b/g channels are only 20 MHz wide, but 802.11n channels may be 40 MHz wide. There are some backward compatibility issues with 40 MHz channels though. These issues are more likely to be encountered in the 2.4 GHz band where legacy (802.11b/g) devices may be operating using 20 MHz channels. Sideband for Control Channel (40 MHz only):
MG7310 Cable Modem User Manual 35 Whether the 20 MHz control channel uses the upper or lower half of the 40 MHz channel. Changes to this setting may change the control channel setting. For example (in the 2.4 GHz band), if the upper 20 MHz is selected as the sideband for the control channel, then the lowest control channel available would be channel 5 to allow the lower 20 MHz for data. 5.4.2 Radio Choose Wireless > Radio to display the following page.

MG7310 Cable Modem User Manual 37 distribute wireless keys to clients that support this feature, described below. For the record, as of July, 2015, Apple devices did not support WPS. WPS Client PIN Method: On your client device, run a utility to generate a WPS PIN. Copy the PIN that the client generates and enter it here, then press the Save button. Once this process is complete, your cable modem/router will display the results, or it will time out after about two minutes. Note that this method will change the default SSID and key for your network. WPA: Wi-Fi Protected Access is a slightly older and less secure algorithm for securing a wireless network. This is the Enterprise variant that requires configuration of a RADIUS server. WPA-PSK: The Pre-Shared Key mode of the WPA algorithm which does not require use of a RADIUS server. This is also known as WPA Personal. WPA and WPA-PSK cannot be used at the same time. WPA2: An advanced form of WPA that is more secure. This is the Enterprise mode of WPA2 which requires the use of a RADIUS server. WPA2 and WPA may be used at the same time to provide backward compatibility with devices that do not support WPA2. WPA2-PSK: The Pre-Shared Key mode of WPA2, also known as WPA2 Personal.WPA2 and WPA2-PSK cannot be used at the same time. WPA2-PSK and WPA-PSK may be used at the same time to provide backward compatibility with devices that do not support WPA2. Encryption: Select the desired encryption protocol for your network. The default is TKIP+AES. RADIUS: Disable WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK and Enable WPA / WPA2 to un-gray out RADIUS settings.
MG7310 Cable Modem User Manual 38 802.11n Mode: Set this parameter to OFF to force 802.11g mode (required to enable WEP). The default value is Auto. WEP Encryption: Disabled and grayed out by default. If you need WEP Encryption, set 802.11n Mode to OFF to un-gray out, and then Enable this parameter. Network Key 1 thru Network Key 4: When WEP encryption is enabled, sets the static WEP keys. Enter 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal digits for a 64-bit key. Enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal digits for a 128-bit key. Current Network Key: This selects the Network Key used for transmissions. Select 1 - 4 (default 1). PassPhrase: Enter a 10 or 26 character string, then press Generate WEP Keys to generate Network Keys 1 - 4. 5.4.4 Guest Choose Wireless > Guest to display the following page.

MG7310 Cable Modem User Manual 40 Figure 31 Access configuration This page allows you to control which wireless clients can access your wireless network. It also provides information about wireless clients connected to your access point. Connected Clients: A list of connected wireless clients. When a client connects (associates) to the network, it is added to the list; when a client leaves (disassociates) from the network, it is removed from the list. For each client, the age (in seconds), estimated average receive signal strength (in dBm), IP address, and host name are presented. The age
MG7310 Cable Modem User Manual 41 is the amount of time elapsed since data was transmitted to or received from the client. 5.4.6 Advanced Choose Wireless > Advanced to display the following page. Figure 32 Advanced configuration
MG7310 Cable Modem User Manual 42 This page allows you to configure advanced wireless settings. Output Power: Control the range of the AP by adjusting the radio output power. OBSS Coexistence: OBSS coexistence refers to the ability of your device to support 20 MHz clients within 40 MHz channels. It also allows your device to reduce interference from nearby 20 MHz devices that are interfering with part of your device's 40 MHz channel. Hide SSID (Closed Network): When this feature is enabled, the SSID is not broadcast. Therefore, only devices that already know the SSID will be able to connect. Mode Required: Select None, HT or ERP, where HT and ERP refer to High Throughput and Extended Rate PHY, respectively. These settings determine how your network interacts with older (802.11b/g) and newer (802.11n) wireless clients. Most users will leave this at the default setting of None. Isolate Client: When this feature is enabled, wireless clients are isolated from your wired network and from each other. They can only access the Internet, but not any servers or other devices on your network. 54g™ Mode: Sets the network mode for legacy 802.11g & 802.11b networks. To un-gray out this selection, under the 2.4GHz tab in WPS_RADIUS_WEP, Disable 802.11n Mode. Choices are 54g Auto, 54g only, 54g Performance, 54g LRS, and 802.11b Only. 54g Auto accepts 54g, 802.11g, and 802.11b clients, but optimizes performance based on the type of clients connected. 54g Performance accepts only 54g™ clients and provides the highest throughout; nearby 802.11b networks may have degraded performance. 54g LRS interoperates with the widest variety of 54g™, 802.11g, and 802.11b clients. 80211b accepts only 802.11b clients. Xpress Technology: Enable Broadcom proprietary method of block frame acknowledgement for 802.11g frames. This feature may improve throughput, but may cause problems. Afterburner Technology
MG7310 Cable Modem User Manual 43 This feature removes the need for the acknowledgement of data frames. It may improve throughput, but may cause problems. 802.11n Protection: 802.11n Protection protects legacy 802.11b&g devices that are within range of your cable modem/router. This feature is enabled (Auto) by default. In some environments with no legacy devices, you may improve performance by disabling this feature. Basic Rate Set: Determines which rates are advertised as “basic” rates. Default uses the driver defaults. Sets all available rates as basic rates. Multicast Rate: This is the rate at which you send out multicast packets to stations. Multicast packets are not acknowledged. NPHY Rate: Choose 802.11n rate to be applied to all unicast packets. Legacy Rate: “N” mode must be off on the “radio” webpage for this control to be active. When active the user can force the rate in which the AP will operate. Beacon Interval: Sets the beacon interval in milliseconds for the AP. The default is 100, which is fine for nearly all applications. DTIM Interval: Sets the wakeup interval for clients in power-save mode. When a client is running in power save mode, lower values provide higher performance but result in decreased client battery life, while higher values provide lower performance but result in increased client battery life. Fragmentation Threshold: Sets the fragmentation threshold. Packets exceeding this threshold will be fragmented into packets no larger than the threshold before packet transmission. RTS Threshold:
MG7310 Cable Modem User Manual 44 Sets the RTS threshold. Packets exceeding this threshold will cause the AP to perform an RTS/CTS exchange to reserve the wireless medium before packet transmission. Wireless Multicast Forwarding (WMF): Multicast involves sending the same packets to two or more endpoints, for example of a video stream. 5.4.7 WMM Choose Wireless > WMM to display the following page.
MG7310 Cable Modem User Manual 45 Figure 33 WMM configuration This page allows you to configure WiFi Multi-Media (WMM). WMM is an implementation of Quality of Service (Qos) which is defined by the IEEE standard 802.11e. WMM Support: Sets WMM support. Choices are Auto, On, or Off. If enabled (Auto or On), the WME Information Element is included in beacon frame. No-Acknowledgement:
MG7310 Cable Modem User Manual 46 Sets No-Acknowledgement support. Choices are On or Off. When enabled, acknowledgments for data are not transmitted. Power Save Support: Sets Power Save support. Choices are On or Off. When Power Save is enabled, the AP queues packets for STAs that are in power-save mode. Queued packets are transmitted when the STA notifies AP that it has left power-save mode. EDCA AP Parameters: Specifies the transmit parameters for traffic transmitted from the AP to the STA for the four Access Categories: Best Effort (AC_BE), Background (AC_BK), Video (AC_VI), and Voice (AC_VO). Transmit parameters include Contention Window (CWmin and CWmax), Arbitration Inter Frame Spacing Number (AIFSN), and Transmit Opportunity Limit (TXOP Limit). There are also two AP-specific settings: Admission Control and Discard Oldest First. Admission control specifies if admission control is enforced for the Access Categories. Discard Oldest First specifies the discard policy for the queues. On discards the oldest first; Off discards the newest first. EDCA STA Parameters: Specifies the transmit parameters for traffic transmitted from the STA to the AP for the four Access Categories: Best Effort (AC_BE), Background (AC_BK), Video (AC_VI), and Voice (AC_VO). Transmit parameters include Contention Window (CWmin and CWmax), Arbitration Inter Frame Spacing Number (AIFSN), and Transmit Opportunity Limit (TXOP Limit). 5.4.8 Scan/Bridging Choose Wireless > Scan/Bridging to display the following page.
