WebWizard
The WebWizard is a multi-level access Web browser interface that provides a
method for network operators and subscribers (when requested and authorized by
the network administrator) to access key information about the configuration and
operational status of the cable modem. This multi-level access facilitates setup and
troubleshooting on the cable modem gateways.
The WebWizard eliminates the need to load additional setup software on the CPE
because the WebWizard software is embedded in the cable modem. In addition to
the WebWizard, the lights on the front panel of the cable modem gateway provide
visual feedback of real-time data transmission and operating status.
WebWizard Features
The WebWizard includes the following outstanding features:
Web browser-based interface
Industry standard IP addressing scheme
Multiple levels of access
Integrated DHCP and HTML server
Hyperlinks to facilitate access to our website
WebWizard Operation
After you power on, the cable modem gateway provides each connected CPE with a
temporary IP address that allows the CPE to access the WebWizard prior to
registering on the network. The following guidelines apply:
The cable modem gateway uses the industry default IP address of 192.168.100.1
for the WebWizard.
Prior to registering on the network, the CPE has access to the WebWizard HTML
pages.
If enabled, the System, Signal, Status, Log, and HTML pages are embedded links
and are available to the user.
Note:
Access to these HTML pages is defined and configured by the system
operator. By default, only the System page is available after registration. The
system operator can enable other pages after registration by using a
configuration variable.
The Scan or any other Hidden or Expert User HTML pages are accessible to the
CPE prior to registering on the network and each time the modem CPE is
granted Level 2 access.
