Security Considerations
Please note that access to the CoaxBox should be restricted.
• The firewall has not been enabled.
• Admin access account root/76Coax93Box30 is public, as this manual. Changing this password should be
done prior to any further configuration.
• User Access Account Admin/Televes1 is public, as this manual. Changing this password should be done
prior to any further configuration.
Operating Considerations
Consider the following notes about CoaxBox services:
• Maximum number of reports that CoaxBox can process is 600 reports/minute. Please check number of
CoaxData devices and report interval to avoid exceeding this value.
• If you install multiple CoaxBox in your CoaxData network, only one CoaxData AccessControl can be
running on each broadcast domain. Enable Access Control only on one CoaxBox.
User Account Management
For security reasons use could consider to change user/system account's password. Please, go to System >

Main features CoaxProv™
• Upgrade 769301 firmware and configuration.
• Support for massive operations to upgrade firmware or configuration of multiple devices.
• Embedded TFTP server to Provision device with DHCP protocol options 66 and 67.
• Discovery of local 769301 devices with LLDP layer-2 protocol.
• Discovery of remote devices with IP scanning.
• Configure devices to send reports to CoaxProv and record reports on an internal database.
• Monitor device wifi links and provide info of device VAPs and Wifi stations connected.
• Monitor device resources like interfaces, CPU. memory and disk.
• Monitor Coaxial links and provide info of Coaxial Rate, Signal to noise and Attenuation.
• Monitor Wifi links and provide info of stations connected to VAPs and VAP state.
• Monitor device status and provide list with CPU, memory and disk usage.
• Create Graphics with all device info collected.
• Generate device alarms when device stop to send reports to CoaxProv or cannot load device configuration.
Track device activity with device events.
• Automatic generation of e-mails or snmp traps that enable propagate alerts to operator monitoring
system for major incidents. To avoid alarm flooding, email or trap alarm must match rule on alarm filters,
so only specific alarms are propagated to external monitor system.
• Device Groups. Grouping devices help to track and avoids long lists with a lot of devices, also help to
locate device when grouping by building block or hotel floors.
Number of device reports cannot exceed 600 reports/minute!
In your monitoring needs exceed that amount, It is recommended the installation of multiple
CoaxBox devices on your network and segment network management.
Calculate storage needs for application or use an external SD!
Ref.769330 box has an internal 4GB eMMC. Depending on the number of reports/minute and
time to keep reports in database, device storage capacity can be exceeded. If storage needs
exceed capacity, CoaxProv detects it and sends an alarm, eliminating the oldest reports.Use an
external microSD to avoid this. Simply insert the microSD card into expansion slot and restart
your system. On boot, internal DB is copied automatically to external microSD card and new
reports are stored on it.
microSD Card must have only one partition with Ext4 filesystem.
Web interface
The first step you must take the installer is set CoaxProv. This step is performed via Web port 15710.
• Opening a browser and indicate the address: http: // <CoaxBox_IP> : 15710
• Use the following account
user: Admin
password: Televes1

Calculation of storage capacity
An important parameter of CoaxProv is the calculation of storage needs. Ref.769330 has a 4GB on internal eMMC,
but in the case that available space is exhausted the CoaxProv emits an alarm and deletes the oldest records.
This capability is controlled by the configuration parameters of the Provision Database> Provision Configuration>
Database Configuration
As seen in the image, device reports are stored for 24 hours. The consumption of each report in the database is
1KByte/report. So if we have a system with 600 devices, sending a report every minute, the storage capacity per
day will be:
1KB/report x 600 reports/minute x 60 min/hour x 24 hhour = 864000 KB = 864MB/day
Changing the time that reports are stored on system (Keep Records For Last) from 24h to 1 week, the need for
storage will be:
864MB/day x 7days =6,04GB
The value required for storage is 6GB, exceeding the internal capacity of 4GB.
To increase the storage capacity insert an external microSD into the expansion slot of the device. microSD Card
must have only one partition with Ext4 filesystem. Reboot the system using the Administration Web on port
15712: System>Boot And Shutdown>Reboot System.
On boot system will detect that there is an microSD and will install internal database on EMMC on SD, without risk
of information will be lost.

Install/Uninstall CoaxProv service
By default the CoaxProv starts when the unit does. Service configuration can be performed via Web Administration
interface on port 15712.
Go to System > Bootup and Shutdown, select service called provisioning
• Start/Stop/Restart to start / stop the service.
• Start on Boot: Starts the service at boot
• Disable On Boot: Disables the service at boot
• Start Now and On Boot: Starts the service at startup and now.
• Stop Now and On Boot: Starts the service at startup and now.
The same task can be performed through an SSH connection. Commands below shows how to configure this
service through a terminal.
# To start the service
coaxdataservices root @: ~ # /etc/init.d/provisioning start
# To stop the service
coaxdataservices root @: ~ # /etc/init.d/provisioning stop
# To install the service (it will start when CoaxBox is started)
coaxdataservices root @: ~ # update-rc.d provisioning 50 defaults 20
# To remove the service (serice will not start when you start CoaxBox)
coaxdataservices root @: ~ # update-rc.d -f provisioning remove

CoaxData AccessControl
The application CoaxAccessControl™ allows setting CoaxData™ devices in a simple and intuitive way to
establish different parameters of access to coax medium, check installation status and link quality between
devices.
Installation diagram
Main Features
Configure the access mode of the coaxial modems CoaxData1Gbps the medium such that can enable /
disable a device and set parameters such as access bandwidth and user limit modem.
check installation status determining the rate links between different devices.
Alarm generation to notify the user of any impact on the system as a link loss of a device or poor
quality, and access to the current network situation by implementing an SNMP agent.
The system configuration can be done by SNMP protocol or through a simple Web interface for users
without technical knowledge of this protocol. For this it provides a complete specification MIB defines all
SNMP objects implemented by SNMP agent.
Automatic generation of e-mails that enable ongoing monitoring and warning for major incidents in
both the management system itself as devices to manage.
Multiple CoaxData AccessControl on the same network segment are not allowed!
Depending on the characteristics of your network, you may need to segment the monitoring
and install several CoaxBox in your installation. Only one AccessControl can be enabled.
See bellow instruction to enable/disable AccessControl con CoaxBox.

Enable/Disable AccessControl Service
By default CoaxBox start AccessControl service at startup.
Use the Web management to configure this CoaxBox service. Go to System> Bootup and Shutdown select
service called coaxdataaccesscontrol and click on start/stop/install/uninstall button.
Multiple CoaxData AccessControl on the same network segment are not allowed!
In case there are several AccessControl applications running on the same network segment,
use service options to disable service on all CoaxBox except one.
Service can also be configured through ssh terminal.
# To start the service
