Page 10: Introduction
This chapter introduces the CDA-RES and its GUI (Graphical User Interface). CDA-RES Overview Your CDA-RES is a cable modem that allows you to connect your computers and to the Internet via the cable connection. Computers with a wired connection to the Hitron CDA-RES User’s Guide are on the Local Area Network (LAN) and the CDA-RES connects to the service provider over the Wide Area Network (WAN). -

Page 17: Ip Address Setup
21. Bear in mind that ALL user-configured settings are lost. IP Address Setup Before you log into the CDA-RES’s GUI, your computer’s IP address must be in the same subnet as the CDA-RES. This allows your computer to communicate with the CDA-RES. -
Page 18: Manual Ip Address Setup
Hitron CDA-RES User’s Guide The CDA-RES has a built-in DHCP server that, when active, assigns IP addresses to computers on the LAN. When the DHCP server is active, you can get an IP address automatically. The DHCP server is active by default. -
Page 19: Login To The Cda-Res
(default). NOTE: If your CDA-RES is not using the default IP address, enter an IP address and subnet mask that places your computer in the same subnet as the CDA-RES. Click OK. The Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) window closes. In the Local Area Connection Properties window, click OK. -

Page 21: Resetting The Cda-Res
Use this section to read information about your CDA-RES’s configuration, and make configuration changes. Resetting the CDA-RES When you reset the CDA-RES to its factory defaults, all user-configured settings are lost, and the CDA-RES is returned to its initial configuration state. Here’s the way to reset the CDA-RES: Version 1.1, 03/2014. - Page 22 Hitron CDA-RES User’s Guide Press the RESET button on the CDA-RES, and hold it in for ten seconds or longer.

Internet access) over a traditional cable TV (CATV) network. Your CDA-RES supports DOCSIS version 3.0. IP Addresses and Subnets Every computer on the Internet must have a unique Internet Protocol (IP) address. -
Page 24: Ip Address Assignment
10.255.255.255 172.16.0.0 172.31.255.255 192.168.0.0 192.168.255.255 If you assign addresses manually, they must be within the CDA-RES’s LAN subnet. 2.2.3 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. -
Page 25: Table 6: Ip Address: Decimal And Binary
Hitron CDA-RES User’s Guide In order to define the extent of a subnet, and to differentiate it from the main network, a subnet mask is used. This “masks” the part of the IP address that refers to the main network, leaving the part of the IP address that refers to the sub-network. -
Page 26: Dhcp
By default, the CDA-RES is a DHCP client on the WAN (the CATV connection). It broadcasts an IP address over the cable network, and receives one from the service provider. By default, the CDA-RES is a DHCP server on the LAN; it provides IP addresses to computers on the LAN which request them. -
Page 27: Configuration Files
Bear in mind that a MAC address does not precisely represent a computer on your network (or elsewhere), it represents a network device, which may be part of a computer (or other device). In the case of the CDA-RES, each internal module (cable modem module, Ethernet module, etc.) possesses its own MAC address. -
Page 28: Modulation
Hitron CDA-RES User’s Guide 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. - Page 29 Hitron CDA-RES User’s Guide FDMA allows multiple users to share the same frequency channel by assigning a frequency band within the existing channel to each user. SCDMA allows multiple users to share the same frequency channel by assigning a unique orthogonal code to each user.

Page 43: Troubleshooting
Hitron CDA-RES User’s Guide Troubleshooting Use this section to solve common problems with the CDA-RES and your network. It contains the following sections: None of the LEDs Turn On on page One of the LEDs does not Display as Expected on page I Forgot the CDA-RES’s IP Address... - Page 44 I Forgot the CDA-RES’s IP Address The CDA-RES’s default LAN IP address is 192.168.100.1. You can locate the CDA-RES’s GUI by entering the LAN domain suffix into your browser’s address bar (on a computer connected to the LAN). Depending on your operating system and your network, you may be able to find the CDA-RES’s IP address by looking up your computer’s default gateway.
- Page 45 Status LEDs light up as soon as there is activity on the port IP Address Setup page 17. If the above steps do not work, you need to reset the CDA-RES. All user- configured data is lost, and the CDA-RES is returned to its default settings. If the problem persists, contact your vendor.
