Advanced User Configuration
The Wireless Cable Gateway offers local management capability through a built in HTTP server and a number of diagnostic and configuration web pages. These pages are available from http://192.168.0.1 in RG and CH modes, and http://192.168.100.1 in CM Mode. Not all pages are available in some modes.
Some information on two of the following web pages MUST BE configured, as explained in Mandatory User Configuration.
In addition, more configuration and diagnostics are possible through the following additional web pages, most of which are aimed at controlling the advanced networking functions of the gateway.
To navigate between pages, use the hyperlinks on the top of the page, and the side bar on the left side of the page. For easy navigation, the pages are organized in groups, with group names at the top of the pages. Individual page names within each group are provided in the sidebar. To navigate to a page, click the group hyperlink at the top, then the page hyperlink on the sidebar.
Your cable company may not support the reporting of some items of information listed on your gateway’s internal web pages. In such cases, the information field appears blank. This is normal.
In the CM Mode, the simplest configuration mode of the gateway, or in the CH Mode, where you have subscribed to an outside service (your cable company or another party) to remotely manage your home network configuration, you will see only the Status and Wireless web page hyperlinks in the sidebar, indicating only these page groups are available.
In the RG Mode, the mode where you manage your home network configuration, you will see web page hyperlinks to all five page groups: Status, Basic, Advanced, Firewall, and Wireless.
The following section explains all of the available pages for all of the modes.
