Configuring Your Gateway

Accessing the Gateway’s Web Management

After configuring your computer for TCP/IP and performing the preconfiguration guidelines

on the previous page, you can now easily configure your Gateway from the convenient Web-

based management interface. From your Web browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer or

Netscape Navigator, versions 5.0 or later), you will log in to the interface to define system

parameters, change password settings, view status windows to monitor network conditions,

and control the Gateway and its ports.

To access the SMCD3GN Wireless Cable Modem Gateway’s web-based management

screens, use the following procedure.

1. Launch a Web browser.

Note:

Your computer does not have to be online to configure your Gateway.

2. In the browser address bar, type

http://192.168.0.1

and press the Enter key. For example:

The Login User Password screen appears (see Figure 11)

Figure 11. Login User Password Screen

3. In the Login User Password screen, enter the default username

cusadmin

and the default

password

. Both the username and password are case sensitive. After you log in

to the Web management interface, we recommend you change the default password on

the Password Settings menu (see page 31).

Note:

Your cable modem operator may customize the login password, so please check with

your operator for the correct password to use.

Table 4. System Settings Menu Option

Option

Description

Enable UPnP

Configures your Gateway as a Universal Plug and Play (uPnP) Internet gateway. UPnP allows for dynamic

connectivity between devices on a network. A UPnP-enabled device like your Gateway can obtain an IP address,

advertise its capabilities, learn about other connected UPnP devices and then communicate directly with those

devices. The same device can end its connection cleanly when it wishes to leave the UPnP community. The intent

of UPnP is to support zero-configuration, "invisible" networking of devices including intelligent appliances, PCs,

printers, and other smart devices using standard protocols.

Check = uPnP is enabled on the Gateway. (

default)

Uncheck = uPnP is disabled on the Gateway.

Enable HNAP

Configures your Gateway as a Home Network Administration Protocol (HNAP) device. HNAP allows your

Gateway to be configured and managed by remote entities, such as Network Magic or any software application

that discovers and manages network devices.

Check = HNAP is enabled on the Gateway.

Uncheck = HNAP is disabled on the Gateway. (

default)
