1. Before You Begin Your new wireless cable modem provides high-speed wireless access to the Internet by using IEEE 802.11b wireless standard and an active Internet Connection through your cable service provider. This user guide describes how to set up and use the wireless cable modem. Before installing the wireless cable modem, you should read this user guide to ensure proper wireless cable modem operation.
Contact Your Local Cable Operator Before installing you new wireless cable modem, you must contact your local cable service provider to activate your Internet account. Be sure to have the wireless cable modem’s MAC address available, which can be found on the underside of the wireless cable modem. Prepare Your Area for Wireless Cable Modem Installation Before installing your wireless cable modem, you should first prepare your area.

8. Web User Interface Accessing the Web User Interface 1. The PC connected to the wireless cable modem must support TCP/IP connection and dynamic DHCP IP address acquisition, and must have a web browser installed. 2. Open the web browser and set the URL location as: http://192.168.100.1 Web User Interface Home Page A main menu is shown at the top of the pages and the user can select different options to view wireless cable modem information.
Wireless Configuration SSID • You can input SSID to group your wireless network. The wireless clients that have the same SSID can communicate with others. Host • In Host item, you can define the wireless cable modem name. Channel • There are 11 channels available for US. You also can specific wireless communication channel in Channel section.
WEP Key • 64 bits WEP requires a 10 Hexadecimal digits key, and 128 bits WEP key needs a 26 Hexadecimal digits key. Access Permission • Access permission is set for “Allow everyone access” by default. • If Access Permission is set for “only allow access if on this list”, only CPE with matching MAC address from the list is allowed to access.
