How Do I Configure My DOCSIS Residential Gateway?
To configure your residential gateway, you must first access the WebWizard
configuration pages. This section provides detailed instructions and procedures for
accessing the WebWizard pages and for configuring your residential gateway to
operate correctly. This section also presents examples and descriptions of each
WebWizard configuration page. Use the WebWizard pages to customize your
residential gateway to your needs rather than using the default settings. The
WebWizard pages in this section are organized in the order shown on the
Setup
page.
Important:
The WebWizard pages and the examples shown in this section are for
illustration purposes only. Your pages may differ from the pages shown in this
guide. The pages shown in this guide also represent the default values for the
device.
Note:
If you are not familiar with the network configuration procedures detailed in
this section, contact your service provider before you attempt to change any of the
residential gateway default settings.
