Introduction

The CBW500 Wireless Cable Residential Gateway is a broadband gateway

product combining Ethernet network and wireless together. With IEEE 802.11g

standard wireless integration, this device not only allows you to take an

advantage of wired-free data transmission, but also allows you to have 4 of

10/100 Mbps Ethernet connections with auto-sensing switch Ethernet ports.

This combination of router and switch product eliminates the needs to buy an

additional hub or switch to serve your network, so users on either WLAN

(wireless LAN) or wired LAN can share files, other networking resource, and

even for a single account of Internet access by having this device connect to a

Cable modem.

The CBW500 allows up to 253 total (128 wireless) users to share a single

Cable connection. A high-speed routing engine and 54Mbps (802.11g

standard) wireless throughput easily handle large data transmission, including

those from multimedia applications.

802.11g also backward-compatible with 802.11b WLAN equipment, preserving

existing network investments.

The CBW500 can work as DHCP server to assigns an IP Address to every PC

on the LAN automatically and/or work as DHCP client to get an IP address

dynamically assigned by ISP. CBW500 Cable Residential Gateway is easy to

setup and maintain. All functions can be configured via web browsers such as

Internet Explorer.

7.1.4 Diagnostics

This page provides ping diagnostics function to help user solve IP connectivity

problems.

PING is a utility, which is used to determine whether a device is active at the

specified IP address. PING is normally used to test the physical connection

between two devices, to ensure that everything is working correctly.

Enter the settings of Ping target and then press Start Test to start the

diagnostic. The results will display in Results table and you need to refresh this

web page to update the diagnostic results.

7.2 Basic

7.2.1 Setup

This page allows configuration of the basic features of the broadband gateway

related to your ISP’s connection.

There are three options of obtaining a WAN IP address.

1. Obtain WAN IP Address by DHCP

2. Static WAN IP Address (for most leased line users)

3. Obtain WAN IP Address by PPPoE (for most dial-up users)

Select the item according to your situation and enter the information required

by your ISP. Press Apply to confirm the settings.
