HITRON CGN USER’S GUIDE If your computer is configured to get an IP address automatically, or if you are not sure, try to log in to the CGN (see Logging into the CGN on page 22). If the login screen displays, your computer is already configured correctly. If the login screen does not display, either the CGN’s DHCP server is not active or your computer is not configured correctly. Follow the procedure in Manual IP Address Setup on page 21 and set your computer to get an IP address automatically.
HITRON CGN USER’S GUIDE 5 You can get an IP address automatically, or specify one manually: If your CGN’s DHCP server is active, select Get an IP address automatically. If your CGN’s DHCP server is active, select Use the following IP address. In the IP address field, enter a value between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254 (default). In the Subnet mask field, enter 255.255.255.0 (default).

HITRON CGN USER’S GUIDE 3 STATUS This chapter describes the screens that display when you click Status in the toolbar. It contains the following sections: Cable Overview on page 29 The System Info Screen on page 35 The Initialization Screen on page 37 The CM Status Screen on page 38 The Password Screen on page 41 3.1 CABLE OVERVIEW This section describes some of the concepts related to the Cable screens. 3.1.
HITRON CGN USER’S GUIDE 3.1.2.1 IP ADDRESS FORMAT IP addresses consist of four octets (8-bit numerical values) and are usually represented in decimal notation, for example 192.168.1.1. In decimal notation, this means that each octet has a minimum value of 0 and a maximum value of 255.
HITRON CGN USER’S GUIDE If you assign addresses manually, they must be within the CGN’s LAN subnet. 3.1.2.3 SUBNETS A subnet (short for sub-network) is, as the name suggests, a separate section of a network, distinct from the main network of which it is a part. A subnet may contain all of the computers at one corporate local office, for example, while the main network includes several offices. In order to define the extent of a subnet, and to differentiate it from the main network, a subnet mask is used.
HITRON CGN USER’S GUIDE Decimal: the subnet mask is written in the same fashion as the IP address: 255.255.255.0, for example. Binary: the subnet mask is indicated after the IP address (preceded by a forward slash), specifying the number of binary digits that it masks. The subnet mask 255.255.255.0 masks the first twenty-four bits of the IP address, so it would be written as follows: 192.168.1.1/24. 3.1.
HITRON CGN USER’S GUIDE 3.1.5 MAC ADDRESSES Every network device possesses a Media Access Control (MAC) address. This is a unique alphanumeric code, given to the device at the factory, which in most cases cannot be changed (although some devices are capable of “MAC spoofing”, where they impersonate another device’s MAC address). MAC addresses are the most reliable way of identifying network devices, since IP addresses tend to change over time (whether manually altered, or updated via DHCP).
HITRON CGN USER’S GUIDE 3.1.7 CONFIGURATION FILES The CGN’s configuration (or config) file is a document that the CGN obtains automatically over the Internet from the service provider’s server, which specifies the settings that the CGN should use. It contains a variety of settings that are not present in the user-configurable Graphical User Interface (GUI) and can be specified only by the service provider. 3.1.
HITRON CGN USER’S GUIDE In many cases, a number precedes the modulation type (for example 16 QAM). This number refers to the complexity of modulation. The higher the number, the more data can be encoded in each symbol. NOTE: In modulated signals, each distinct modulated character (for example, each audible tone produced by a modem for transmission over telephone lines) is known as a symbol.

HITRON CGN USER’S GUIDE 7 WIRELESS This chapter describes the screens that display when you click Wireless in the toolbar. It contains the following sections: Wireless Overview on page 78 The Basic Settings Screen on page 81 IP Setting on page 84 The WPS & Security Screen on page 85 The Access Control Screen on page 90 7.1 WIRELESS OVERVIEW This section describes some of the concepts related to the Wireless screens. 7.1.
HITRON CGN USER’S GUIDE The wireless clients connect to the access point in order to receive a wireless connection to the WAN and the wired LAN. The CGN is the access point, and the computers you connect to the CGN are the wireless clients. 7.1.3 WIRELESS STANDARDS The way in which wireless devices communicate with one another is standardized by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The IEEE standards pertaining to wireless LANs are identified by their 802.11 designation.
HITRON CGN USER’S GUIDE 7.1.5 WIRELESS SECURITY Radio is inherently an insecure medium, since it can be intercepted by anybody in the coverage area with a radio receiver. Therefore, a variety of techniques exist to control authentication (identifying who should be allowed to join the network) and encryption (signal scrambling so that only authenticated users can decode the transmitted data). The sophistication of each security method varies, as does its effectiveness.
HITRON CGN USER’S GUIDE Push-Button Configuration (PBC): when the user presses the PBC button on the AP (either a physical button, or a virtual button in the GUI), any user of a wireless client that supports WPS can press the corresponding PBC button on the client within two minutes to join the network. Personal Identification Number (PIN) Configuration: all WPS-capable devices possess a PIN (usually to be found printed on a sticker on the device’s housing).
