Page 27: Ip Addresses And Subnets
HITRON CGN USER’S GUIDE 2.1.2 IP ADDRESSES AND SUBNETS Every computer on the Internet must have a unique Internet Protocol (IP) address. The IP address works much like a street address, in that it identifies a specific location to which information is transmitted. No two computers on a network can have the same IP address. -
Page 28: Subnets
HITRON CGN USER’S GUIDE The private network (in routing mode - see Routing Mode on page 31) is your Local Area Network (LAN) and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), if enabled. You are free to assign IP addresses to computers on the LAN and WLAN manually, or to allow the CGN to assign them automatically via DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). -
Page 29: Dhcp
HITRON CGN USER’S GUIDE The following table shows a subnet mask that “masks” the first twenty-four bits of the IP address, in both its decimal and binary notation. Table 7: Subnet Mask: Decimal and Binary 11111111 11111111 11111111 00000000 This shows that in this subnet, the first three octets (192.168.1, in the example IP address) define the main network, and the final octet (1, in the example IP address) defines the computer’s address on the subnet. -
Page 30: Dhcp Lease
HITRON CGN USER’S GUIDE 2.1.4 DHCP LEASE “DHCP lease” refers to the length of time for which a DHCP server allows a DHCP client to use an IP address. Usually, a DHCP client will request a DHCP lease renewal before the lease time is up, and can continue to use the IP address for an additional period. -
Page 31: Routing Mode
HITRON CGN USER’S GUIDE 2.1.6 ROUTING MODE When your CGN is in routing mode, it acts as a gateway for computers on the LAN to access the Internet. The service provider assigns an IP address to the CGN on the WAN, and all traffic for LAN computers is sent to that IP address. -
Page 32: Modulation
HITRON CGN USER’S GUIDE 2.1.10 MODULATION Transmissions over the cable network are based on a strong, high frequency periodic waveform known as the “carrier wave.” This carrier wave is so called because it “carries” the data signal. The data signal itself is defined by variations in the carrier wave. -
