Reference Manual for the Wireless Cable Modem Gateway CG814WG v2
Introduction
2-3
The gateway incorporates Auto Uplink
TM
technology. Each LOCAL Ethernet port will
automatically sense whether the Ethernet cable plugged into the port should have a ‘normal’
connection such as to a PC or an ‘uplink’ connection such as to a switch or hub. That port will then
configure itself to the correct configuration. This feature also eliminates the need to worry about
crossover cables, as Auto Uplink will accommodate either type of cable to make the right
connection.
USB Port
A USB connection for your computer eliminates the need for installing an Ethernet card.
Protocol Support
The CG814WG v2 supports the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
Appendix B, "Networks, Routing, and Firewall Basics"
provides further information on TCP/IP.
•
IP Address Sharing by NAT
The CG814WG v2 allows several networked PCs to share an Internet account using only a
single IP address, which may be statically or dynamically assigned by your Internet service
provider (ISP). This technique, known as Network Address Translation (NAT), allows the use
of an inexpensive single-user ISP account.
•
Automatic Configuration of Attached PCs by DHCP
The CG814WG v2 dynamically assigns network configuration information, including
IP, gateway, and domain name server (DNS) addresses, to attached PCs on the LAN using the
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This feature greatly simplifies configuration
of PCs on your local network.
Easy Installation and Management
You can install, configure, and operate the CG814WG v2 within minutes after connecting it to the
network. The following features simplify installation and management tasks:
•
Browser-based management
Browser-based configuration allows you to easily configure your gateway from almost any
type of personal computer, such as Windows, Macintosh, or Linux. A user-friendly Setup
Wizard is provided and online help documentation is built into the browser-based Web
Management Interface.
