THE INITIALIZATION SCREEN
This screen displays the steps successfully taken to connect to the Internet over the
CABLE
connection.
Use this screen for troubleshooting purposes to ensure that the CGN2 has
successfully connected to the Internet; if an error has occurred you can identify the
stage at which the failure occurred.
NOTE:
This screen displays when you first log in to the CGN2.
Click

This displays the IP address of the CGN2’s Ethernet
module. This is the IP address you use to connect with the
CGN2’s admin interface via the
LAN
ports.
Subnet Mask
This displays the CGN2’s LAN subnet mask.
Uptime
This displays the number of hours, minutes and seconds
that the CGN2 has been connected to another device over
the LAN interface.
Traffic Count
This displays the number of bytes received and sent on
the LAN interface.

THE CM STATUS SCREEN
Use this screen to discover information about:
The nature of the upstream and downstream connection between the CGN2 and
the device to which it is connected through the
CABLE
interface.
IP details of the CGN2’s WAN connection.
You can also configure the CGN2’s downstream center frequency.

CM Configuration File
Name
This displays the name of the configuration file that the
CGN2 downloaded from your service provider. This file
provides the CGN2 with the service parameter data that
it needs to perform its functions correctly.
Network Access
This displays whether or not your service provider allows
you to access the Internet over the
CABLE
connection.
Permitted
displays if you can access the Internet.
Denied
displays if you cannot access the Internet.

HITRON CGN2 USER’S GUIDE
Downstream Frequency
This displays the center frequency in Megahertz (MHz)
at which the CGN2 connects over the
CABLE
interface.
If you want the CGN2 to use a different center
frequency, enter it in the field and click
Apply
.
NOTE:
Do not change the frequency unless you have a
good reason to do so.
Upstream ID
This displays the ID number of the channel on which the
upstream signal is to be transmitted. When an upstram
connection cannot be made on the specified channel,
the CGN2 attempts to connect on the next channel.
If you want the CGN2 to attempt to connect on a
different channel, enter it in the field and click
Apply
.
NOTE:
Do not change the channel unless you have a
good reason to do so.
Downstream
NOTE:
The downstream signal is the signal transmitted to the CGN2.
Frequency (MHz)
This displays the actual frequency in Megahertz (MHz)
of each downstream data channel to which the CGN2 is
connected.
Modulation
This displays the type of modulation that each
downstream channel uses.
Signal Power (dBmV)
This displays the power of the signal of each
downstream data channel to which the CGN2 is
connected, in dBmV (decibels above/below 1 millivolt).
Signal Noise Ratio
(dB)
This displays the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) of each
downstream data channel to which the CGN2 is
connected, in dB (decibels).
Upstream
NOTE:
The upstream signal is the signal transmitted from the CGN2.
Frequency (Hz)
This displays the frequency in Herz (Hz) of each
upstream data channel to which the CGN2 is connected.
Bandwidth (KSym/
sec)
This displays the bandwidth of each upstream data
channel to which the CGN2 is connected (in thousands
of symbols per second).
