Position the cable modem so that it is located near the computer and the wall cable outlet. There should be plenty of room to guide the cables away from the cable modem without crimping them.
Package Contents The package contains: • Hitron™ “Broadband Residential Cable Modem Gateway” BRG-35302/BWA-35302 • ! 1 cable modem1 power adapter, (5VDC/1A for BRG-35302; 5VDC/1.5A for BWA-35302). Caution: Be sure to use only the power adapter that came with the cable modem. Using the wrong power adapter can damage the cable modem or cause unstable while operating. • • • • 1 180 cm (6') CAT.5 UTP Ethernet cable.
Using the USB port (BRG35302) enables you to install the cable modem more quickly and easily than connecting to the Internet using the USB port, because you do not have to install a network interface card (NIC) into your computer. The USB port, however, only enables you to connect one computer to the cable modem. Using the Wireless (BWA35302) enables you connecting to the Internet. For the security consideration, it is recommended to change the configuration of factory default Wireless setting..
Chapter 2 Installing the Cable Modem Using the Ethernet Port ! CAUTION! Be sure to read this entire User’s Manual from front to back in sequence before installing the Hitron™ “Broadband Residential Cable Modem Gateway” BRG-35302 / BWA-35302. This chapter describes how to install the cable modem using the Ethernet port. Using the Ethernet port enables you to use a single connection to the Internet or use a hub to connect multiple computers to the cable modem.
Verify the TCP/IP Protocol Configuration Before installing the modem using the Ethernet setup, you must verify that your computer has the TCP/IP protocol installed. Follow the procedure for your operating system to verify or install the TCP/IP protocol.
3 4 Select All Protocols from the Show bindings from drop-down list. Look for an entry named TCP/IP. If you see TCP/IP listed, double-click it to search for your Ethernet card. If you see your Ethernet card listed, you can now go to the section “Connecting the Cable Modem” on page 11. However, if TCP/IP is not listed, you must complete the following steps: a. Click the Protocols tab. b. Click Add. c. Click TCP/IP Protocol in the Network protocol list. d. Click OK e.

Chapter 3 Installing the Cable Modem Using the USB Port (BRG35302) Hardware Installation ! CAUTION! Be sure to read this entire User’s Manual from front to back in sequence before installing the Hitron™ “Broadband Residential Cable Modem Gateway” BRG-35302 / BWA-35302. This chapter provides an overview of how to install the cable modem using the USB port. First you connect the hardware (cable modem, power adapter). You then install the software drivers and verify that the modem is operating properly.
Fig 3 Cable Modem Setup using USB port Install the cable modem according to the following procedure: 1 2 3 4 Power off the computer (and television, if you plan to have the cable modem and television connected to the same wall cable outlet). Unplug the power cord of computer (and television). Connect the coaxial cable to the cable modem’s cable television (CATV) cable connector. Connect all of the devices: a.
8 9 The modem is operating properly if the Power, RF/DS, RF/US, Status and USB light emitting diodes (LEDs) are solid green (lit and not blinking). You must now install the software drivers provided on the Installation CD. Be sure to follow the instructions (below) for your specific operating system. USB Driver Installation After the Hardware Installation, you must install the USB software driver. Windows 98 After the Hardware Installation, the window “Found New Hardware” appears.
Windows Me When the CM is powered on, the Add New hardware Wizard screen appears. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Select Automatically search for a better driver (Recommended) and click Next. When Windows locates the driver files click Next to install the necessary files. Click Finish. The system Settings Change dialog box appears. Click Yes to reboot your computer. Make sure the LED of Power, Cable, Status and USB are green without blinking, which means the installation is finished.
Chapter 4 Wireless Configuration（BWA35302） ! CAUTION! Be sure to read this entire User’s Manual from front to back in sequence before installing the Hitron™ “Broadband Residential Cable Modem Gateway” BRG-35302 / BWA35302. This chapter provides an overview of how to set up the Wireless parameters via Ethernet Port Interface. First you can refer to chapter 2: “Installing the Cable Modem Using the Ethernet Port” and verify that the Ethernet Port is operating properly.
192.168.100.2, mask = 255.255.255.0, so that the computer and the Cable Modem will be connected. Open the Browser in your computer and key in http://192.168.100.1, you will be asked to key in the username and password.. As for the Username and Password, you can contact your service provider for the details. 18/31 V1.
Wireless Setting There are several wireless transmission modes for selection: 802.11b（11B） ：It is of the old transmission mode. The max speed can be up to 11Mbps. 802.11b+（11B+） ：The formal description should be Packet Binary Convolutional Coding (PBCC). It is of the enhanced transmission mode of 11B, and the max speed can be up to twice of 11B (22Mbps). 802.11g（11G） ：It is the fastest among the three transmission modes, and the max speed can be up to 54Mbps.
Channel and SSID SSID SSID（Service Set Identification）is the “name” of this wireless access point. It is also called the “Wireless Network Name” in the Windows XP environment. While the wireless LAN card searches for the access point, SSID is the important information for user to judge which Wireless Access Point is the expected one. SSID can be configured up to 32characters.（Alphabet or number）. The Factory Default of SSID is WLAN. Channel This selection is correlated to the transmission frequency.
Hide SSID For security, wireless access point can disable the broadcast of SSID, and the configuration is to select the “Hide SSID”. Once the “Hide SSID” is selected, only the computer with same SSID can connect the wireless access point. On the other hand, the computer with the different SSID (or without SSID) will not “see” this wireless access point. To connect the wireless access point with the configuration “Hide SSID”, user must know the SSID in advance, and then pre-configure in the computer.
Encryption The wireless LAN signal is broadcasted openly. This is vulnerable for information theft or hackers trying to sniff your private information. To provide a certain level of protection, it is recommended to enable the authentication for the connection and the encryption of the transmission data. Security In the selection in Security, user can select between None, WPA-PSK and WEP. None： There will be no authentication or encryption in this mode.
8~63 characters, which can be alphabet, number, symbol, even the blank. WEP： The WEP is similar to the WPA-PSK. There is the encryption key between the PCs and access point, too. There are two encryption lengths for selection: 64 bits and 128 bits. If encryption strength is set to 64-bit or 128-bit, then only the selected WEP key box will automatically be populated with key values. For 64-bit WEP, enter 10 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F).
Authentication Type (WEP Mode only) Once the security mode is selected as WEP, one may need to select the Authentication Type. There are two selections in Authentication Type: Open System and Shared Key. The difference between Open System and Shared Key is the Authentication between Access Point and Computer. . Open System In the Open System environment, there will not the authentication between Access Point and Computer.
MAC Filtering To restrict access based on MAC addresses, you can set up a list of the Trusted Devices, which are allowed to connect to the Access Point. If the “All Wireless Stations” is selected, the Access Point can accept all of the connection requests. If the “Trust PCs only” is selected, the Access Point only accepts the Computer in the pre-configured list. The list is according to the MAC address. Only the Computer in the List can be accepted, the others will be rejected.
