with RJ45 connectors.

LAN4 CABLE Use this to connect to the Internet via an F-type RF

cable. POWER Use the POWER port to connect to the 100~125VAC

power cable that came with your CGNVM.

NOTE: Additionally to the POWER connection, you can

also use a battery to power the CGNVM in the event of a power outage; see Battery Installation

(optional) on page 19.

Figure 3: Power Cable

INTRODUCTION

Hitron CGNVM User’s Guide

1.3 Battery Installation (optional)

Depends on your multiple system operator (MSO), the CGNVM may be equipped with a lithium-ion battery backup that can provide emergency power to the device in the event of a power outage.

You can install and replace the CGNVM’s battery without disconnecting the power cable.

NOTE: The CGNVM battery is intended for use as a backup to the main power

source, not as a replacement for it. For optimal power performance you should use the battery in conjunction with the main power source.

For safety and regulatory reasons, batteries are shipped separately to the CGNVM, and must be manually installed. To install the battery:

1 The battery compartment is located on the underside of the CGNVM. Place the

CGNVM on a table and remove the battery compartment door.

Figure 4: Battery Compartment (optional)

2 Remove the battery from its packaging.

INTRODUCTION

Figure 5: Battery (optional)

Hitron CGNVM User’s Guide

NOTE: Your battery may look somewhat different from the battery depicted,

depending on the number of cells it contains.

3 Insert the battery into the battery compartment. 4 Replace the battery compartment door and return the CGNVM to an upright

position.

1.5 IP Address Setup

Before you log into the CGNVM’s GUI, your computer’s IP address must be in the same subnet as the CGNVM. This allows your computer to communicate with the CGNVM.

INTRODUCTION

Hitron CGNVM User’s Guide

NOTE: See IP Addresses and Subnets on page 30 for background information.

If your computer is configured to get an IP address automatically, or if you are not sure, try to log in to the CGNVM (see GUI Overview on page 26).

If the login screen displays, your computer is already configured correctly. If the login screen does not display, your computer is not configured correctly.

Follow the procedure in Manual IP Address Setup on page 24 and set your computer to get an IP address automatically. Try to log in again. If you cannot log in, follow the manual IP address setup procedure again, and set a specific IP address as shown. Try to log in again.

NOTE: If you still cannot see the login screen, your CGNVM’s IP settings may have

been changed from their defaults. If you do not know the CGNVM’s new address, you should return it to its factory defaults. See Resetting the

CGNVM on page 28. Bear in mind that ALL user-configured settings are lost.

1.5.1 Manual IP Address Setup

By default, your CGNVM’s local IP address is 192.168.0.1. If your CGNVM is using the default IP address, you should set your computer’s IP address to be between

192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254. Take the following steps to manually set up your computer’s IP address to connect to

the CGNVM:

NOTE: This example uses Windows XP; the procedure for your operating system

may be different.

1 Click Start, then click Control Panel. 2 In the window that displays, double-click Network Connections. 3 Right-click your network connection (usually Local Area Connection) and click

Properties.

4 In the General tab’s This connection uses the following items list, scroll

down and select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). Click Properties.

5 You can get an IP address automatically, or specify one manually:

INTRODUCTION

Hitron CGNVM User’s Guide

If your network has an active DHCP server, select Get an IP address

automatically.

If your network does not have an active DHCP server, select Use the

following IP address. In the IP address field, enter a value between

192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254 (default). In the Subnet mask field, enter

255.255.255.0 (default).

NOTE: If your CGNVM is not using the default IP address, enter an IP address and

subnet mask that places your computer in the same subnet as the CGNVM.

6 Click OK. The Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) window closes. In the Local Area

Connection Properties window, click OK.

Your computer now obtains an IP address from the CGNVM, or uses the IP address that you specified, and can communicate with the CGNVM.

1.6 Login to the CGNVM

Take the following steps to login to the CGNVM’s GUI.

NOTE: You can login to the CGNVM’s GUI via the wireless interface. However, it is

strongly recommended that you configure the CGNVM via a wired connection on the LAN.

1 Open a browser window. 2 Enter the CGNVM’s IP address (default 192.168.0.1) in the URL bar. The Login

screen displays.

3 Enter the Username and Password. The default login username is cusadmin,

and the default password is password.

NOTE: The Username and Password are case-sensitive; “Password” is not the same

as “password”.

4 Click Login. The Status Overview screen displays (see Status Overview on

page 29).

1.8 Resetting the CGNVM

When you reset the CGNVM to its factory defaults, all user-configured settings are lost, and the CGNVM is returned to its initial configuration state.

To reset the CGNVM, click Admin > Device Reset. In the screen that displays, click the Factory Reset button.

The CGNVM turns off and on again, using its factory default settings.

NOTE: Depending on your CGNVM’s previous configuration, you may need to re-

configure your computer’s IP settings; see IP Address Setup on page 23.

2.1 Status Overview

This section describes some of the concepts related to the Status screens.

2.1.1 DOCSIS

The Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) is a telecommunications standard that defines the provision of data services) Internet access) over a traditional cable TV (CATV) network.

Your CGNVM supports DOCSIS version 3.0.

2.1.2 IP Addresses and Subnets

Every computer on the Internet must have a unique Internet Protocol (IP) address. The IP address works much like a street address, in that it identifies a specific location to which information is transmitted. No two computers on a network can have the same IP address.

2.1.2.1 IP Address Format

IP addresses consist of four octets (8-bit numerical values) and are usually represented in decimal notation, for example 192.168.1.1. In decimal notation, this means that each octet has a minimum value of 0 and a maximum value of 255.

An IP address carries two basic pieces of information: the “network number” (the address of the network as a whole, analogous to a street name) and the “host ID” (analogous to a house number) which identifies the specific computer (or other network device).

2.1.2.2 IP Address Assignment

IP addresses can come from three places:

The Internet Assigned Numbers Agency (IANA) Your Internet Service Provider You (or your network devices)

IANA is responsible for IP address allocation on a global scale, and your ISP assigns IP addresses to its customers. You should never attempt to define your own IP addresses on a public network, but you are free to do so on a private network.

In the case of the CGNVM:

The public network (Wide Area Network or WAN) is the link between the cable

connector and your Internet Service Provider. Your CGNVM’s IP address on this network is assigned by your service provider.
