2.3 Validate Connectivity/Connect Devices to the NetworkUbee Interactive
2.3Validate Connectivity/Connect Devices to the Network
To confirm network/internet operations, or to connect an Ethernet device to the
network (for example, a computer, gaming console, etc.), do the following:
1. Make sure the Ethernet device (computer, gaming console) to add to the network
is connected to the cable modem and powered on. Refer to page 7, if needed.
2. Use the device LEDs to confirm operations. The PWR, DS, US, Online, and Wifi
LEDs are solidly lit in normal operations, as is the LAN LEDs that have devices
connected to their associated ports. Refer to “LED Operational Summary” on
page 5 for more detailed information.
3. Open a web browser and go to any web site to validate network connectivity
(for example, http://www.wikipedia.org).
4. If the connected device is a gaming console, perform any online task supported by
the console (for example, log into gaming server, play online game, download
content, etc.).
5. Refer to page 11 for troubleshooting information if needed.
2.3.1Connect/Validate Wireless Clients
To confirm operations or to connect wireless devices to the network (for example, a
laptop computer), do the following:
1. Use the device LEDs to confirm operations. The WiFi LED must be solidly lit. The
PWR, DS, US, and Online LEDs are also solidly lit in normal operations. Refer to
“LED Operational Summary” on page 5 for more detailed information.
2. Connect a wireless device to the cable modem (for example, a laptop computer).
Use the following steps:
Access the wireless networking feature on your wireless device. On a
Windows computer, for example, double-click the Wireless Networking icon in
the system tray (lower-right side of the Windows desktop).
Click View Wireless Networks. The device is shipped with a default SSID.
The SSID is the name of the wireless network broadcast from the device so
that wireless clients can connect to it.
3. Double-click your SSID in the wireless networks window.
The default SSID = DDW3612 plus the last 2 characters of the cable modem’s MAC Address (UPPER case, if letters). Refer to the device’s bottom label to view
the MAC address or refer to “Cable Modem - Information” on page 12.
Example: DDW3612BE
Note: If the subscriber changes the SSID, the device does not revert to this default
SSID upon any reset of the device, except in the case of a manual reset to restore
factory default settings. The device MAC address can be found on the device
label, or refer to “Cable Modem - Information” on page 12.

Ubee Interactive2.3 Validate Connectivity/Connect Devices to the Network
4. When prompted, enter the Network Key.
The Network Key = DDW3612 plus the last 6 characters (3 octets) of the cable modem’s MAC address (upper or lower case).
Example: DDW36127CD4BE
The device MAC address can be found on the device label, or refer to “Cable
Modem - Information” on page 12.
5. Confirm connectivity by opening a web browser and going to any web site
(for example, http://www.wikipedia.org).
Note: If having wireless issues or questions, refer to “Wireless Network
Deployment and Troubleshooting” on page 52.
2.3.2Additional Troubleshooting Information
Use the following tips for troubleshooting the installation.
None of the LEDs are on when I power on the Wireless LAN Cable Modem.
Check the connection between the power adapter and the cable modem.
Power off cable modem and wait for 5 seconds and power on the modem
again. If the problem still exists, there may have a hardware problem.
The Ethernet 1, 2, 3, or 4 LED on the cable modem is not lit.
Try restarting the computer so that is could re-establish a connection with the
cable modem.
Check for a resource conflict (Windows users only). To do this: (1) Right-click
on the My Computer icon on your desktop and choose Properties. (2) Click the
Device Manager tab and look for a yellow exclamation point or red X over the
NIC in the Network Adapters field. If you see either one, you may have an IRQ
conflict. Refer to the manufacturers documentation or you cable service
provider for further assistance.
Verify that TCP/IP is the default protocol for your network interface card (NIC).
Power cycle the cable modem by removing the power adapter from the
electrical outlet and plugging it back in. Wait several minutes for the cable
modem to re-establish communications with your cable service provider.
General Connectivity Issues:
If your PC is connected to a hub or gateway, try connecting the PC directly into
an Ethernet port on the cable modem.
If you are using a cable splitter, try removing the splitter and connect the cable
modem directly to the cable wall outlet. Wait several minutes for the cable
modem to re-establish communications with the cable service provider.
The Ethernet cable may be damaged. Try another cable.
If none of these suggestions work, contact your cable service provider for further
assistance.
