By default the DHCP server function for the LAN is activated.
LANsettingscanbemodiedonthispage.
With this function activated, your cable company’s DHCP server provides one
IP address for your Gateway.
Your Gateway’s DHCP server provides IP addresses to your PCs within the
rangeofaddressesspeciedintheDHCPrangestartandstopaddresselds.
A DHCP server leases an IP address with an expiration time.
For example, to change the lowest IP address that your Gateway will issue
to your PCs, enter it into the DHCP Range Start Address box and then click
Apply.
Note: It is highly recommended that these setting not be changed.

5. Forwarding
For LAN / WAN communications, the Gateway normally allows you to
originate an IP connection only with a PC on the WAN; it will ignore attempts
of the WAN PC to originate a connection onto your PC.
This protects you from malicious attacks from outsiders.
However, sometimes you may wish for anyone outside to be able to
originate a connection to a particular PC on your LAN, if the destination port
(application) matches one that you specify.

Gateway – Wireless Web Page Group
Important - Changes to the Wireless Web Pages should be made from a PC
that is hard wired to the Gateway.
The Wireless Web Pages Group enables a variety of settings that can provide
secure and reliable wireless communications.
The Advanced Cable Gateway offers a choice of the following:
WEP and WPA/WPA2 authentication of your PCs to the Gateway•
Encryption keys for communication between the Gateway and your •
PCs to guarantee security
An Access Control List function that enables you to restrict wireless •
accesstoonlyyourspecicPCs.
Performance
Because your wireless communication travels through the air, the default
wireless channel setting may not provide optimum performance in your
home if you or your neighbors have other interfering 2.4GHz devices such as
cordless phones.
If your wireless PC is experiencing very sluggish or dramatically slower
communication compared with the speed you achieve on your PC that is
wired to the Gateway, try changing the channel number.
See the 802.11b/g Basic Web Page discussion below for details.
Authentication
Authentication enables you to restrict your Gateway from communicating
with any remote wireless PCs that aren’t yours. The following minimum
authentication-related changes to factory defaults are recommended.
See the 802.11b/g Basic and Access Control Web Page discussions below
for details.
Network Name (SSID) – Set a unique name you choose
Access Control List – Enter your wireless PCs’ MAC addresses

Security
Security secures or scrambles messages traveling through the air between
your wireless PCs and the gateway, so they can’t be observed by others.
The following minimum security setting changes to factory defaults are
recommended.

The wireless radio in your Gateway can be completely de-activated •
by changing Interface to Disabled).
Click the • Apply button to save your settings.
The Gateway WiFi radio frequently transmits a beacon signal which can
contain this network name (SSID).
The network Type is Open, so your SSID is included in that beacon, and is
therefore detectable by any nearby wireless equipped PCs in the area.

This page provides several different modes of wireless security.
You will have to enter proper information according to the mode you select.
A network encrypted with WPA/WPA2 is more secure than a network
encrypted with WEP, because WPA/WPA2 uses dynamic key encryption. To
protect the information as it traveling through the air, you should enable the
highest level of encryption supported by the ACG: WPA2-PSK (AES)
WPA2-PSK (AES)
To enable WPA2
(Make sure that your wireless client and client manager are compatible with
it.)

Select a passphrase: the passphrase is composed of more than 8
alphanumerical characters. Upper and lower case characters can be used.
Use a strong passphrase which combines letters and numbers.

Appendix - Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
You can correct most problems you have with your Gateway by consulting
the troubleshooting list that follows:
I can’t access the internet.
Check all of the connections to your Advanced Cable Gateway.
Your PC is connected to the USB port or your Ethernet card may
not be working. Check if each product’s documentation for more
information.
The Network Properties of your operating system may not be installed
correctly or the settings may be incorrect. Check with your ISP or
cable company.
All of the lights are ashing in sequence.
This means the Advanced Cable Gateway is automatically updating
its system software. Please wait for the lights to stop ashing. The
updating process typically lasts less than one minute.
Do not remove the power supply or reset the Advanced Cable
Gateway during this process.
I can’t get the modem to establish an Ethernet connection.
Even new computers don’t always have Ethernet capabilities – be
sure to verify that your computer has a properly installed Ethernet
card and the driver software to support it.
Check to see that you are using the right type of Ethernet cable.
The modem won’t register a cable connection.
If the modem is in Initialization Mode, the INTERNET light will be
ashing. Call your Cable Company if it has not completed this 5-step
process within 30 minutes, and note which step it is getting stuck on.
The modem should work with a standard RG-6 coaxial cable, but
if you are using a cable other than the one your Cable Company
recommends, or if the terminal connections are loose, it may not
work. Check with your Cable Company to determine whether you’re
using the correct cable.
55
Appendix - Troubleshooting
If you subscribe to video service over cable, the cable signal may not
be reaching the modem. Conrm that good quality cable television
pictures are available to the coaxial connector you are using by
connecting a television to it. If your cable outlet is “dead”, call your
Cable Company.
Verify that the Cable Modem service is DOCSIS compliant and
PacketCable compliant by calling your cable provider.
I don’t hear a dial tone when I use a telephone.
Telephone service is not activated. If the TEL light on the Advanced
Cable Gateway stays on while others ash, check with your TSP or
cable company.
If the TEL light is blinking when the phone is not in use, contact your
service provider.
If the Advanced Cable Gateway is connected to existing house
telephone wiring, make sure that another telephone service is not
connected. The other service can normally be disconnected at the
Network Interface Device located on the outside of the house.
