Hardware Manual for the Model CG814WG Wireless Cable Modem Gateway
1-2 Hardware Overview
Automatically detects and thwarts attacks such as Ping of Death, SYN Flood, LAND Attack
and IP Spoofing.
Configurable Port Forwarding, Port Blocking, Port Triggering and DMZ provide enough
flexibility for most applications.
Blocks access from your LAN to Internet locations or services that you specify as off-limits.
Logs security incidents
The CG814WG will log security events such as blocked incoming traffic, port scans, attacks,
and administrator logins. You can configure the gateway to email the log to you whenever a
significant event occurs.
802.11g Standards-based Wireless Networking
The CG814WG Gateway includes an 802.11g-compliant wireless access point, providing
continuous, high-speed 54 Mbps access between your wireless and Ethernet devices. The access
point provides:
802.11g Standards-based wireless networking at up to 54Mbps, interoperable with 802.1b
networks
64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption security
WEP keys can be generated manually or by passphrase
Wireless access can be restricted by MAC address.
Configurable Auto Uplink™ Ethernet Connection
With its internal 4-port 10/100 switch, the CG814WG can connect to either a 10 Mbps standard
Ethernet network or a 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet network. Both the local LAN and the Internet WAN
interfaces are autosensing and capable of full-duplex or half-duplex operation.
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.
