The Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) is a telecommunications standard that defines the provision of data services) Internet access) over a traditional cable TV (CATV) network. Your CGN3 supports DOCSIS version 3.0. Version 1.1, 08/2013. Copyright 2012 Hitron Technologies Version 1.1, 08/2013. -
Page 34: Ip Addresses And Subnets
In the case of the CGN3: The public network (Wide Area Network or WAN) is the link between the cable connector and your Internet Service Provider. Your CGN3’s IP address on this network is assigned by your service provider. Version 1.1, 08/2013. Copyright 2012 Hitron Technologies Version 1.1, 08/2013. -
Page 35: Subnets
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 CGN3 to assign them automatically via DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). IANA has reserved the following blocks... -
Page 36: Dhcp
By default, the CGN3 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 CGN3 is a DHCP server on the LAN; it provides IP addresses to computers on the LAN which request them. -
Page 37: Dhcp Lease
(or other device). For example, if a single computer has an Ethernet card (to connect to your CGN3 via one of the LAN ports) and also has a wireless card (to connect to your CGN3 over the wireless interface) the MAC addresses of the two cards will be different. -
Page 38: Routing Mode
3.1.6 Routing Mode When your CGN3 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 CGN3 on the WAN, and all traffic for LAN computers is sent to that IP address. The CGN3 assigns private IP addresses to LAN computers (when DHCP is active), and transmits the relevant traffic to each private IP address. -
Page 39: Modulation
Hitron CGN3 User’s Guide 3.1.10 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. -
