The Power LED should be green and not flashing.2. If the Power LED is flashing, then power off all network devices, including the modem and computers. 3. Power on each device in the following order:•Router or switch (if present)•CPE•Computer(s)4. Check all cable connections.
52 Common IssuesTroubleshooting44.1 Common IssuesWhy can't I connect to the CPE to perform web configuration?1. Check if the device is properly connected to the power adapter.2. Ensure the PC IP address is in the same network segment as the device address. For example, the PC IP address is 192.168.0.x while the default device's IP address is 192.168.0.10. 3. Restore the factory default settings and re-log onto the CPE's web-based configuration page.How do I reset my password if I've forgotten it?•Call the Internet service provider (ISP).How do I restore my CPE to the factory default settings?1. Launch an Internet browser and access the CPE configuration webpage at the default address: http://192.168.0.102. Go to Tools´ Reset to Default and follow the on screen prompts.How can I find out the CPE's MAC address?1. Launch an Internet browser and access the CPE configuration webpage at the default address: http://192.168.0.102. The MAC address is displayed under Status´ LAN on the status page.How do I set up an IP Address for my PC with Windows XP/2000 installed?1. The CPE is set to DHCP server enabled by default. 2. Ensure that the target PC is set to obtain an IP address automatically by going to Start´ Control Panel´ Network Connections´ Local Area Connection´ Properties´ Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)´ Properties and select Obtain an IP address automatically,ORNOTE: If the CPE DHCP function is enabled and a DHCP server is already present on the LAN, either disable the DHCP function on the CPE or DHCP server, or ensure that the available IP Pools do not over-lap. If both the CPE and the existing DHCP server are active, both devices may fail to provide services to the network.N te

GlossaryThis section defines or identifies technical terms, abbreviations, and acronyms used through out this document.AdministratorAn administrator performs the service of maintaining a network. In the case of this CPE, the person who sets up the network connections and makes changes to the settings. BTSBase Transceiver Station. The WiMAX service provider base transmitter pro-viding the WiMAX signal.ClientA device on the network that uses the services of the CPE, for example a com-puter accessing the internet. DHCPDynamic Host Configuration Protocol. When enabled, this protocol automati-cally configures the TCP/IP settings of every computer on the network. Dial-UpA connection which uses the public telephone network.DNS Server AddressDNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows Internet host computers to have a domain name and one or more IP addresses (such as 192.168.0.20). A DNS server keeps a database of host computers and their respective domain names and IP addresses, so that when a domain name is requested (as in typ-ing easyDNS.com into an Internet browser), the user is sent to the proper IP
56 Glossaryaddress. The DNS server address used by the computers on the home network is the location of the DNS server the ISP has assigned.DSL ModemDSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. A DSL modem uses an existing phone lines to transmit data at high speeds.EthernetA standard for computer networks. Ethernet networks are connected by special cables and hubs, and move data around at up to 10 million bits per second (Mbps).Firewall An electronic boundary that prevents unauthorized users from accessing cer-tain files or computers on a network.FirmwareSoftware stored in memory. Essential programs that remain even when the sys-tem is turned off. Firmware is easier to change than hardware but more perma-nent than software stored on a disk.IP Address IP stands for Internet Protocol. An IP address consists of a series of four num-bers separated by periods, that identifies a single, unique Internet computer host. Example: 192.34.45.8ISP Internet Service Provider. An ISP is a business that provides connectivity to the Internet for individuals and other businesses or organizations.LANLocal Area Network. A LAN is a group of computers and devices connected together in a relatively small area (such as a house or an office). A home net-work is considered a LAN.MAC AddressMAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address is the hardware address of a device connected to a network.
57 GlossaryMTU Maximum Transmission Unit. The largest unit of data that can be transmitted on any particular physical medium.NATNetwork Address Translation. This process allows all of the computers on the home network to use one IP address. Using the NAT capability of the Home-Connect home network gateway, access is available to the Internet from any computer on the home network without having to purchase more IP addresses from the ISP.Port A logical channel that is identified by its unique port number. Applications listen on specific ports for information that may be related to it.SNTPSimple Network Time Protocol. A communication standard that allows for the transmission of real time information over a network or the Internet.SPI Stateful Packet Inspection. SPI is the type of corporate-grade Internet security provided by a HomeConnect home network gateway. Using SPI, the gateway acts as a firewall, protecting the network from computer hackers.Subnet Mask A subnet mask, which may be a part of the TCP/IP information provided by the ISP, is a set of four numbers configured like an IP address. It is used to create IP address numbers used only within a particular network (as opposed to valid IP address numbers recognized by the Internet, which must assigned by Inter-NIC).TCPTransmission Control Protocol. The most common Internet transport layer pro-tocol. TCP is connection-oriented and stream-oriented, and provides for reli-able communication over packet-switched networks.TCP / IP Transmission Control Protocol over Internet Protocol. This is the standard pro-tocol for data transmission over the Internet.
58 GlossaryUDPUser Datagram Protocol. Communications protocol for the Internet network layer, transport layer, and session layer, which makes it possible to send a dat-agram message from one computer to an application running in another com-puter. Unlike TCP, UDP is connectionless and does not guarantee reliable communication; the application itself must process any errors and check for reliable delivery.
