1.2
Wireless Default SSID &
Network Key
The default
SSID
and
Network
Key
are used to establish the default
connection between a wireless client (e.g laptop computer) and the
wireless cable modem:
Default SSID:
The SSID is equal to the last 4 characters of the Cable RF MAC
address, which is
printed on the bottom of the DDW2600
. Example:
If MAC Address is: 000328A12B4C
SSID is: 2b4c
Network Key:
This value is equal to the device MAC address plus
14 zeros
(all upper
case without the colons). Example:
000328A12B4C00000000000000 (MAC address + 14 Zeros)
Notes:
If the MAC address label is not on the device, you can find the MAC
address by doing the following: 1) Access the web interface, see
page 1
. Click
Modem
from the top menu and then
Information
from
the left-side menu. The MAC address is displayed in this screen.
If the SSID and Network Key do not work, they may have been

Port Forwarding/Gaming

Port
Forwarding/Gaming
Port forwarding settings may be required to resolve issues where data is
sent out from a local host to the internet but the return path of expected
data is not being received by your local host. Or, you have an application
or service running on your local network (on a local host) that cannot be
accessed from the internet directly (e.g. a request to a local audio server).
Port forwarding simply tells the cable modem to which computer on the
local area network to send the data. Here are some examples:
XBOX/PlaySation—Some games/applications may require port
forwarding.
Home Security Systems—Some security systems that use the internet
may require port forwarding.
Audio Servers/VOIP—Port forwarding may be required to fully enable
these applications/services.
Important:
If your host system(s)/applications do
not
have
communications issues with the internet, Forwarding is
not
needed.
You will need two major pieces of information to setup port forwarding:
IP address(s) of local host systems
(e.g. XBOX) for which you need
to setup port forwarding rules. See the continuing discussion below for
how to obtain the IP address(s).
The
port numbers
that the local host’s application (e.g. a game or
other service) listens to for incoming requests/data. These port
numbers should be available in the documentation associated with the
application of interest. You may also go to
http://portforward.com
for
more information.
Initial Tasks
The following tasks are recommended to support the setup of forwarding
rules:
1.
Enable UPNP
(Universal Plug and Play). This may resolve the issue
you have without the need to set port forwarding rules. Access the web
interface of the cable modem, see
page 1
. Select
Gateway
from the
top menu, then
Options
from the left menu. Select the option to enable
UPNP. Test your local host/application (e.g. XBOX) to determine
correct functionality. If it is still not properly communicating, continue
with port forwarding.
2.
If you need to
find the IP address
of a connected local host (required
for setting port forwarding), you can use the
Client List
option in the
cable modem web interface. Access the web interface, see
page 1
.
Select
Tools
from the top menu, then select
Client List
to see the
connected host(s).
3.
Before setting up forwarding, you are recommended to assign a
Static
IP lease
to the client/host to which you are setting up forwarding. This
way, the IP does not change and disrupt your forwarding rules. For
example, if you are hosting a web server in your internal network and
you wish to setup a forwarding rule for it, you should assign a static IP
lease to that system to keep the IP from renewing and disrupting the
forwarding rule. Access the web interface, see
page 1
. Select
Gateway
from the top menu, then select
DHCP Static Lease
.
