Configuring the T811-CM for the First Time (Optional)
NOTE The T811-CM normally receives its latest AP and CM firmware downloads and initial
configurations from the cable modem termination system high speed data services (CMTS)
equipment when it powers up; if this is the case, then skip this section and continue with
an Access Plug or Hardline
(***XXX*** add SFP use case)
If the T811-CM AP and CM do not receive their latest firmware downloads and initial configurations
from the CMTS equipment when the T811-CM powers up, then continue with this procedure:
•
Preparing the Administrative Computer
•
Operating the CM
Preparing the Administrative Computer
Use an administrative computer to configure basic operational parameters for the T811-CM access
point and cable modem parts.
NOTE The following procedure is applicable if the administrative computer is running Windows 7.
Procedures for other operating systems are similar.
1 Collect required equipment and information:
• An administrative computer (notebook computer) with an Ethernet port and a wireless card
installed.
• A Web browser such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox (or later) or Microsoft Internet
Explorer installed on the administrative computer.
• A Telnet or SSH (secure shell) client program installed on the administrative computer.
2 On your Windows computer, open the Network Connections (or Network and Dial-up
Connections) control panel according to how the Start menu is set up:
• On Windows 7, click Start > Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change
Adapter Settings.
3 When the Network Connections window appears, right-click the icon for Local Area Connection,
and then click Properties.
NOTE Make sure that you configure the Local Area Connection properties, not the Wireless Network
Connection properties.
4 When the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box appears, select Internet Protocol (TCP/
IP) or TCP/IPv4 in Windows 7 from the scrolling list, and then click Properties. The Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box appears.
5 Write down all of the currently active network settings. You will need this information later when
you restore your computer to its current network configuration.
