Webwizard - Cisco DPC2203C Installation And Operation Manual

Chapter 5 Operating the DPC2203C

WebWizard

The WebWizard is a multi-level access Web browser interface that provides a
method for network operators and subscribers (when requested and authorized by
the network administrator) to access key information about the configuration and
operational status of the cable modem. This multi-level access facilitates setup and
troubleshooting on the cable modems.
The WebWizard eliminates the need to load additional setup software on the CPE
because the WebWizard software is embedded in the cable modem. In addition to
the WebWizard, the lights on the front panel of the cable modem provide visual
feedback of real-time data transmission and operating status.

WebWizard Operation
After you power on, the cable modem provides each connected CPE with a
temporary IP address that allows the CPE(s) to access the WebWizard prior to
registering on the network. The following guidelines apply:
The cable modem uses the industry default IP address of 192.168.100.1 for the

WebWizard.
Prior to registering on the network, the CPE has access to the WebWizard HTML

pages.
If enabled, the Basic, Advanced, and Cisco HTML pages are embedded links and

are available to the user.
Note: Access to these HTML pages is defined and configured by the system
operator on the Technical Support page (see "Display the Technical Support
Page" on page 65).
