Important Rules for Safe Operation
In addition to the careful attention devoted to quality standards in the manufacture of
your Toshiba PCX4500, safety is a major factor in the design of every product. However,
safety is your responsibility, as well. This section lists important information that will
help assure your enjoyment and proper use of the PCX4500 and accessory equipment.
Please read it carefully before operating and using your modem.
Installation
Read and Follow Instructions - You should read all the safety and operating instructions before
operating the modem. Follow all operating instructions.
Retain Instructions - You should save all the safety and operating instructions for your future
reference.
Heed Warnings - Comply with all warnings on the PCX4500 and in the operating instructions.
Use the Recommended AC Adapter - You must use the adapter that comes with your Toshiba
PCX4500.
Check Power Sources – The AC adapter for your Toshiba PCX4500 must be used with a
AC100V-120V 50Hz/60Hz supply outlet. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your
home, consult your dealer or local power company.
Be Careful of Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords, as this can result in a
risk of fire or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, damaged
or cracked wire insulation, and broken plugs are dangerous. Periodically examine the cord, and if its
appearance indicates damage or deteriorated insulation, have it replaced by your service technician.
Protect Power Cords - Route power supply cords so that they are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or against them. Pay particular attention to cords where they are
attached to plugs and convenience receptacles, and examine the point where the power cord
attaches to the PCX4500.
Check Ventilation - Slots and openings in the enclosure are provided for ventilation to ensure
reliable operation of the PCX4500 and to protect it from overheating. Do not block or cover these
openings. Never block these openings by placing the PCX4500 on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. Never place the PCX4500 near or over a radiator or heat register, or any other heat source
(including amplifiers). Do not place the PCX4500 in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or
equipment rack, unless you provide proper ventilation.
Do Not Use Accessories - Do not use attachments, unless they are recommended by Toshiba, as
they may cause electrical or fire hazards.
Do Not Use Near Water - Do not use the PCX4500 near water - for example, near a bathtub, sink or
laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.
Do Not Place Near a High Temperature Source – Do not use the PCX4500 near a source of heat
such as a kitchen range, a fireplace or a radiator.
Use Caution in Mounting the PCX4500 - Do not place the PCX4500 on an unstable surface. The
PCX4500 may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, as well as serious damage to the
PCX4500.
Do Not Use Near Medical Equipment – Do not operate the modem near equipment that is
susceptible to electrical interference, or is used for medical purposes. Do not use the modem near a
pacemaker or a patient care area in the hospital.
Ground the Cable Systems – Be sure that the outside cable system is grounded to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Section 810 of the national Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984 (Section 54 of the Canadian
Electrical Code, Part 1) provides information with respect to proper grounding of the cable systems.
TOSHIBA
Important Information!
•
•
•
Do not disconnect the RF cable from your PCX4500 while the power to
your modem is on.
Wait at least 10 seconds between disconnecting and reconnecting the
PCX4500 with the AC power adapter.
Unplug the PCX4500 from the wall outlet carefully, as the AC adapter may

Use and Maintenance
Unplug Power Before Cleaning - Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for
cleaning.
Keep Objects Out of Openings - Never push objects of any kind into the PCX4500 through
openings such as the ventilation holes, as they may touch high voltage circuits and "short-out" parts,
which could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid on the PCX4500.
Protect From Lightning – Unplug the PCX4500 during a lightning storm, or when leaving it
unattended and unused for a long period. Remove the power adapter from the wall outlet, and
disconnect the cable system. This will prevent damage to the PCX4500 due to lightning and power
line surges. Take care not to touch the metal portion of PCX4500 or cables in a lightning storm.
Service
Do Not Remove Covers - Do not attempt to service the PCX4500 yourself, as opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel. Removing the cover will VOID your warranty.
Refer Servicing to Qualified Service Personnel under the Conditions Listed Below
• If the power supply cord or plug is damaged.
• If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the PCX4500.
• If the PCX4500 has been exposed to rain or water.
• If the PCX4500 does not operate normally as per the operating instructions.
• If the PCX4500 has been dropped or the case has been damaged.
• When the PCX4500 exhibits a distinct change in operation, such as the inability to complete its
self-test.
Require Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to the PCX4500, ask the service
technician to perform the recommended safety checks to verify that the PCX4500 is in a safe
operating condition.
Security Precautions
The PCX4500 provides your home network with the highest level of security. However, no product
can provide you with absolute protection against a determined effort to break into your system. We
recommend using additional security precautions, such as encrypting files and folders to protect
highly valuable or sensitive information.
If you are using the wireless access capability of the PCX4500 and the wireless security options
(encryption and access control) are disabled, an unauthorized user can penetrate your computers
with a remote wireless device. See the section “PCX4500 Wireless Configuration” in this manual
to set the appropriate wireless security parameters.
Range of Wireless Communication
The range of the wireless signal may vary according to the actual radio conditions at the location
where the wireless LAN product is installed. The range of wireless devices may be affected by metal
surfaces and high-density materials such as concrete walls. Range is also impacted due to
“obstacles” in the signal path of the radio that may either absorb or reflect the radio signal.
TOSHIBA
Overview
The PCX4500 provides you with high-speed data communications over the television cable network
by following the widely accepted DOCSIS standard. This standard, as defined by CableLabs™,
offers a combination of high performance and interoperability among all major cable system
operators in North America.
How does the PCX4500 work?
Digital signals are represented by high and low electrical voltage levels. The speed of how fast these
levels can switch and still be transmitted is determined by the "bandwidth" of the transmission
system. The pair of wires used in a telephone connection has a greatly limited bandwidth because of
their electrical characteristics. When a device called a modem is connected between the computer
output and the phone line, it generates an electrical wave whose strength and phase change in step
with the highs and lows of the computer's digital output. It is because of the "smoothness" of the
resultant signal that a higher data rate can be transmitted.
A cable modem “modulates” and “demodulates” electrical signals in the same way that the telephone
modem does. However, since coaxial cable can transmit much higher frequencies, cable modems
are far more complex. None of the activity caused by the PCX4500 disturbs your regular cable TV
reception.
How does the PCX4500 connect to a computer?
The 10/100 Ethernet connection, USB connection and 802.11b wireless connection used in this
device are emerging as the most popular means of networking computers together and to the
Internet.
How does the PCX4500 differ from a stand-alone DOCSIS
cable modem?
The standalone cable modem is designed to connect one computer. The PCX4500 is designed to
connect multiple computers using 10/100 Ethernet, USB and 802.11b wireless interface. For
standalone cable modems, you typically need to purchase an additional networking device called a
router to connect more than one computer to the cable modem. With the PCX4500, all of your
computers can share your high-speed connection.
The PCX4500 also includes advance security features such as a Stateful Inspection firewall that can
protect your personal information and your equipment from malicious damage by hackers. The
PCX4500 Stateful Inspection firewall is intelligent enough to know what applications should be
allowed to access your network, and those that should be excluded.
What is DOCSIS?
Data Over Cable Service Interface Specifications. DOCSIS defines interface requirements for cable
modems involved in high-speed data distribution over a cable television network. On November 17,
1997, Cable Television Laboratories, Inc. (CableLabs) and its members established a formal path of
certification for cable modem equipment suppliers to obtain an interoperability seal for their products
based on the DOCSIS specification. This certification process provides cable modem equipment
suppliers with a fast, market-oriented method for attaining cable industry acknowledgment of
compliance with DOCSIS.

Windows Network Configuration
Universal Plug and Play
What is Universal Plug and Play?
Universal Plug and Play is a networking architecture that provides compatibility among networking
equipment, software and peripherals. UPnPTM enabled products can seamlessly connect and
communicate with other Universal Plug and Play enabled devices, without the need for user
configuration, centralized servers, or product-specific device drivers. This technology leverages
existing standards and technologies, including TCP/IP, HTTP 1.1 and XML, facilitating the
incorporation of Universal Plug and Play capabilities into a wide range of networked products for the
home.
Universal Plug and Play technologies are being rapidly adopted and integrated into widely-used
consumer products such as Windows XP and Windows Me. There-fore it is critical that today's
Residential Gateways be UPnP compliant. PCX4500 -powered Gateways are at the forefront of this
development, offering a complete software platform for UPnP devices. This means that any
UPnP-enabled control point (client) can dynamically join the network, obtain an IP address and
exchange information about its capabilities and those of other computers on the network, including
PCX4500, with these other computers. They can subsequently communicate with each other directly,
thereby further enabling peer-to-peer networking.
And this all happens automatically, providing a truly zero-configuration network.
Universal Plug and Play on PCX4500
If your computer is running an operating system that supports UPnP, such as Windows Me or
Windows XP, you can easily add the computer to your home network and access the Management
Console directly from within Windows.
•
To add a UPnP-enabled computer to the home network:
1. Connect the PC to PCX4500 as described in the previous chapter.

2. The PC will be automatically recognized and added to the home network. PCX4500 will be
added to " My Network places" as the Internet Gateway Device and will allow configuration
via standard Windows interface.
3. A message will appear on the notification: area of the Taskbar notifying that the PC has been
added to the network.
•
To access the Management Console directly from Windows:
1. Open the My Network Places window by double-clicking on its desktop icon.

If your computer is running Windows XP you may also view and configure some network parameters
directly from within Windows. The actions that you can perform are listed below. Each of them can
also be performed from within the Management Console (see references to the relevant sections of
this user manual).
You may:
•
Monitor the status of the connection between PCX4500 and the Internet
•
Enable and Disable the connection to the Internet
•
Select services provided by computers in the home network that you would like to make
available to computers on the Internet. For example, you may designate a PC in your home
network to act as a Web server, allowing computers on the Internet to request pages from it. Or a
game that you want to play over the Internet may require that specified ports be opened to allow
communication between your PC and other players. See P48 (“Local Servers") for more
information.
