held open, and the ports close if no outgoing data is  
detected on the selected ports for a period of 10  
minutes  
DMZ Host

Use this page to configure an IP address that is visible  
to the wide area network (WAN). DMZ hosting is  
commonly referred to as “exposed host,” and allows  
you to specify the “default” recipient of WAN traffic  
that Network Address Translation (NAT) is unable to  
translate to a known local PC.  
A DMZ is used by a company that wants to host its  
own Internet services without sacrificing unauthorized  
access to its private network. DMZ allows one IP  
address to be unprotected while others remain  
protected. The DMZ is located between the Internet  
and an internal network’s line of defense that is a  
combination of firewalls and bastion hosts.  
Typically, the DMZ contains devices accessible to  
Internet traffic, such as Web (HTTP) servers, FTP

Reserving IP Addresses  
Use the Setup Basic Settings – Fixed CPE IP Assignment page to reserve IP  
addresses to be issued by the DHCP server in the gateway to specific devices on  
the LAN. This feature allows you to assign a fixed IP address to any device in

How Do I Configure the Gateway Cable Modems?  
Configuring TCP/UDP Port Triggers  
Use the Setup Advanced Settings – Port Triggers page to configure TCP/UDP  
port triggers. Port triggering is similar to port forwarding but is dynamic. In other  
words, the system does not hold the ports open indefinitely. For example, when  
the gateway cable modem detects outgoing data on a specific IP port number set  
in the “Trigger Range,” the resulting ports set in the “Target Range” will open for  
incoming data. If the system detects no outgoing traffic on the “Trigger Range”  
ports for a period of 10 minutes, the “Target Range” ports close. This is a safer  
method for opening specific ports for special applications, such as, video  
conferencing programs, interactive gaming, and file transfer in chat programs.  
This is safe because the ports are dynamically triggered and not held open  
continuously or erroneously left open by the router administrator. Therefore,  
these ports are not exposed and vulnerable for potential hackers to discover.  
If you are not familiar with the advanced settings detailed in this section,  
contact your cable service provider before you attempt to change any of the  
gateway cable modem default advanced port triggers settings.  
Click Port Triggers in the Advanced Settings section of the Setup page to

Configuring the DMZ Host  
Use the Setup Advanced Settings – DMZ Host page to configure an IP address  
that is visible to the WAN. DMZ hosting is commonly referred to as “exposed  
host,” and allows you to specify the “default” recipient of WAN traffic that Network  
Address Translation (NAT) is unable to translate to a known local PC. DMZ  
allows one IP address to be unprotected while others remain protected.

Setup Advanced Settings – DMZ Host Page Description  
Use this page to place a Private LAN IP device, for example, an FTP, Mail, or  
Web server directly on the Internet (bypassing the firewall). You set the server  
with a fixed IP address as a DMZ Host by entering its IP address in the DMZ  
Address field. Make sure the IP address used is not in the range of addresses  
delivered by the built-in DHCP server. After setting up a DMZ Host, all ports on  
this device are open to the Internet. You may configure only one PC to be the  
DMZ host. DMZ is generally used for PCs running “problem” applications that  
use random port numbers and do not function correctly with the specific port  
triggers or port forwarding setups described earlier in this guide. After entering a  
DMZ Address, click Apply to apply and save your new DMZ Host setting.

Keyword and Domain Blocking  
Keyword and Domain blocking allows you to restrict access to Internet sites by  
blocking access to those sites based on a word or a text string contained in the  
URLs used to access those Internet sites.  
Domain blocking allows you to restrict access to Web sites based on the site’s  
Domain Name. The Domain Name is the portion of the URL that precedes the  
familiar .COM, .ORG, or .GOV extension.  
Keyword blocking allows you to block access to Internet sites based on a  
Keyword or text string being present anywhere in the URL, not just in the Domain  
Name.  
Follow these steps to use either the Keyword or Domain Blocking feature.  
1. Select Enable on the Setup Firewall - Web Filters page for the feature or  
features you want to use, then click Apply to activate the feature.  
2. Enter the Domain Name, Keyword, text string, or URL to which you wish to  
restrict access into either the Keyword List or the Domain List field.  
The entries must be an exact match in order to be filtered or blocked.  
3. Click either Add Keyword or Add Domain as necessary to add the entry to  
the list.  
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for each Domain or Keyword you wish to enter.  
Once entered, each new entry will immediately be blocked for all users not listed  
in the “Trusted Computers” field in the lower portion of the Setup Firewall – Web  
Filters page.  
The Domain blocking feature blocks access to any Domain in the Domain  
List. It will also block Domains, any portion of which contains an exact match to  
entries in the list.  
For example, if you enter example.com as a Domain, any site that contains  
Domain Name since doing so limits the blocking to only the site that matches that  
only the one site that matches that name exactly will be blocked. Consequently, if  
“example.com” will be blocked.  
Trusted Computers  
Use the Trusted Computers field to specify the MAC address of computers  
whose content will always be trusted and allowed unrestricted access to the  
Internet.

64 Bit Keys  
For use with Encryption Mode set to 64-bit encryption.  
Enter 5-byte values for a Key. You do not have to set  
all four Keys. Only one Key is used for a home  
network. Each value is represented in hexadecimal.  
Use only these numbers or letters: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,  
8, 9, a, b, c, d, e, and f to set up your encryption keys.  
It is generally a good practice to use only  
lowercase letters when entering WEP encryption keys.  
Uppercase letters can sometimes be confused with  
numbers. For example, the uppercase letter “B” is  
often mistaken for the number “8.” Using lowercase  
characters minimizes the risk of confusing characters  
when copying keys from one device to another.  
Uppercase characters will automatically be converted  
to lowercase when the key or keys are applied and  
saved to memory.  
Use two numbers or letters in each box. Record your  
Key values. You will need these Key values when you  
set up your client wireless adapter. The Key values in  
each wireless network device must match.

Authentication  
When encryption is enabled, this selection allows  
you to choose one of the following authentication  
methods from the drop-down list:  
Open System—Open system authentication  
allows any device to authenticate and then  
attempt to communicate with the WAP.  
Communication occurs if both devices have  
matching pre-configured WEP keys. Open  
System authentication does not provide the  
client with confirmation that the link has been  
established. This makes it more difficult for a  
hacker to access the network.  
Shared Key—During shared key authentication,  
the WAP sends an unencrypted challenge text  
string to any device attempting to communicate  
with the WAP. The device requesting  
authentication encrypts the challenge text and  
sends it back to the WAP. If the challenge text is  
encrypted correctly, the access point allows the  
requesting device to authenticate. Shared key  
authentication provides the client with feedback  
when a link is denied where Open System  
authentication does not.  
Open System or Shared Key—Either Open  
System or Shared Key can associate with the  
WAP and the WAP accepts data from wireless  
clients using the appropriate form of  
authentication.  
Closed Network  
Allows you to disable or enable the network to  
access by wireless clients. When ON is selected, the  
access point does not broadcast the SSID. The  
client device must be configured manually with the  
SSID and the MAC address of the access point in  
order to access with wireless network.

Field Name  
Description  
Basic Data Rates  
Displays the default initial data rate for associating with  
a WAP. For maximum client compatibility, it is  
recommended that the Basic Data Rates are set at  
1, 2 Mbps so that older cards can easily gain access to  
the network. This setting specifies the minimal set of  
required data rates  
Control Tx Rates  
Beacon Interval  
Displays the transmit data rates the WAP uses is a  
function of signal strength and signal quality. For  
maximum potential link speed, it is recommended that  
you select all control Tx rates: 1, 2 Mbps, 5.5 Mpbs,  
and 11 Mbps  
Displays the time interval that the WAP uses to  
announce itself to remote devices. The Beacon  
Interval should be left at 100ms for compliance with  
most client cards. The Beacon Interval specifies how  
often packets are sent by the Access Point (AP) to  
synchronize a wireless network and it’s clients  
DTIM Interval  
Displays the time interval between  
Broadcasts/Multicast transmissions. The DTIM  
(Delivery Traffic Indication Message) Interval is a  
countdown informing the wireless clients of the next  
window for listening to broadcast and multicast  
messages. When the AP has buffered broadcast or  
multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the  
next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. AP clients hear  
the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and  
multicast messages. The DTIM Interval should be left  
at 3 ms for compliance with most client cards  
Fragmentation  
Threshold  
Fragmentation and ready to send (RTS) thresholds  
should be set equivalent to the maximum Ethernet  
frame size allowable on the link including overhead  
(1536 bytes). Lesser settings can damage data  
throughput as large frames could be fragmented or  
collisions could occur  
RTS Threshold  
The RTS/CTS threshold determines at what packet  
size beyond which the RTS/CTS mechanism is  
invoked.
