View Modem Router Initialization
You can track the initialization procedure of the cable modem router and get details
about the downstream and upstream cable channel. The time is displayed after the
cable modem router is initialized.
The cable modem router automatically goes through the following steps in the
provisioning process:
1. Scans and locks the downstream frequency and then ranges the upstream channels.
2. Obtains a WAN address for the cable modem router.
3. Connects to the Internet.
To view the status of the cable modem router initialization:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
cable modem router network.
2. Enter orbilogin.com or 192.168.1.1.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the cable modem router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select Cable Connection.
The Cable Connection page displays.
The Startup Procedure section displays the initialization progress. The page also
displays the status of all downstream and upstream channels. (You must scroll down
to view all the channels.) The number of downstream and upstream channels that
are locked depends on the number of channels that your Internet provider uses.
