PipeLock®
The PipeLock® feature enables you to suspend communication between the Internet and your computer with the
touch of a button. This provides added security when the cable modem is not in use. When PipeLock is ON, the
PipeRider cable modem remains logged on, but direct communication between your computer and your service
provider is blocked. Since PipeLock doesn't interrupt communication between the cable modem and the service
provider network, a second touch of the button instantly restores communication.
To turn PipeLock ON, simply press the PipeLock button located on the top of the PipeRider cable modem. Press the
button again to turn PipeLock OFF and instantly regain Internet access. The PipeLock LED will indicate whether
PipeLock is ON (LED lit) or OFF (LED unlit) at any point in time.
The PipeLock status will be retained if the PipeRider is reset or if the power is interrupted. That is, if PipeLock is
ON just prior to a power interruption or reset, it will return to the ON state when the power-up diagnostics are
complete.
