Cable -> Password

Use a password to protect the gateway from unauthorized access and to prevent unauthorized users from making changes to the feature settings. The Password Idle Time value is the amount of time that it takes for a login to expire after a period of inactivity.

To change the password:

  1. Type in the current password in the Enter Current Password field.

  2. In the Enter New Password field, type in the new password.

  4. Click Apply.

Cable -> Event Log

This table contains the dynamic event log of the cable modem operation. Pressing the "clear" button would clean up the logged events.


DIFFICULTIES CONNECTING



CDA-RES
1. Check power connection.
2. Verify power light status.
3. Check the connections for the modem and networking interface(s).
4. If you are unable to access the gateway's user interface, please check your computer's network settings - - verify that your TCP/IP settings are correct - check User Guide for more details.

NETWORK: Ethernet
 1. Check all connections to the gateway.
2. Check all connections to each attached device on the network.
3. Ensure that all devices' TCP/IP settings are correct (either assigned automatically via DHCP or manually configured).
4. Ensure that you have an Ethernet interface for each networked computer.
5. Each computer must have either Microsoft Windows 95 (or higher) or Mac OS 8.5 (or higher).

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically configures the TCP/IP settings of every computer on your home network.

DNS Server Address DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows Internet host computers to have a domain name (such as www.hitrontech.com) and one or more IP addresses (such as 192.34.45.8). 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 typing "www.hitrontech.com" into your Internet browser), the user is sent to the proper IP address. The DNS server address used by the computers on your home network is the location of the DNS server your ISP has assigned.

Ethernet A 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).
IP Address IP stands for Internet Protocol. An IP address consists of a series of four numbers separated by periods, that identifies an single, unique Internet computer host. Example: 192.34.45.8.

ISP Gateway Address (see ISP for definition). The ISP Gateway Address is an IP address for the Internet router located at the ISP's office. This address is required only when using a cable or DSL modem.

ISP Internet Service Provider. An ISP is a business that provides connectivity to the Internet for individuals and other businesses or organizations.

LAN Local 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). Your home network is considered a LAN.

MAC Address MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address is the hardware address of a device connected to a network.

NAT Network Address Translation. This process allows all of the computers on your home network to use one IP address. Using the NAT capability of the CDA-RES, you can access the Internet from any computer on your home network.


SPI Stateful Packet Inspection. SPI is the type of corporate-grade Internet security provided by the CDA-RES wireless cable modem gateway. Using SPI, the gateway acts as a "firewall," protecting your network from computer hackers.

SPI Stateful Packet Inspection. SPI is the type of corporate-grade Internet security provided by the CDA-RES cable modem gateway. Using SPI, the gateway acts as a "firewall," protecting your network from computer hackers.

Subnet Mask A subnet mask, which may be a part of the TCP/IP information provided by your Service Provider, 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 InterNIC).

TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. This is the standard protocol for data transmission over the Internet.

WAN Wide Area Network. A network that connects computers located in geographically separated areas, (i.e., different buildings, cities, countries). The Internet is a wide area network.
