Master Unit CLM253
1. Introduction
The IP through coaxial cable system provided by coaxLAN, coaxLAN, has been especially
designed to convert the coaxial network into a data network in a very easy manner. The
coaxLAN equipment enables the transmission and reception of an internet signal via the
existing coaxial cable of a television installation, without having to undertake any actions
on the infrastructure.
Simply by adding a headend master equipment CLM253 and a slave (CL600,
Cl600WLAN,CL64WLAN) at each point where the internet signal has to be carried, the
television installation is upgraded to transmit IP data at high speed. The Modem also acts
as a Wi-Fi router allowing the creation of a wireless network easily wherever the coaxLAN
Modems is installed.
A single CLM253 master equipment supports up to 253 slaves with encrypted
communications. It is also possible to increase the number of a Modem the same network
by simply installing new master equipment in tandem (up to 4 CLM253 for the same
coaxial cable).
This user manual includes instructions to manage an CLM253 master unit.
1.1. Requirements
The CLM253 master unit can be manage through its web management interface. The
following runtime environment is recommended in order to use this web management
interface properly:
Operating system: Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows NT, Windows Vista,
Windows 7 or Windows 10
Hardware requirement: CPU PIII 800 MHz, 256M RAM memory, 1 GB disk space and
10/100M Ethernet interface.

1.2. Functional Features
The web management interface supports the functions shown in the following table:

2.3. SLAVE menu
This topic describes how to manage the authorization of slaves, the online slave
configuration, the configuration template and the upgrading of slaves.
Important note: Before starting to set up the IPC-S slave, it is necessary to apply the
template 1 created by default in the IPC-M master. Thus the CL64WLAN remains properly
bound to CLM253.
2.3.1. Authorization
Selecting the Slave→ Authorization menu, the web interface returns the management
authorization of slave, as shown on Picture:
There are two possible authorization modes which can be configured here:
Auto Authorization: If this mode is selected, the slave is automatically added to the
list of the authorized slaves as soon as it is connected to the network through the
coaxial cable. This list is shown in the Slave Authorization table and it is also called
the White List.

Manual Authorization: If this mode is selected, the slave is added to the list of
unauthorized slaves as soon as it is connected to the network through the coaxial
cable. This list is shown in the Unauthorized Slave table.
If a slave is not in the White List cannot use the network. In order to really change the
authorization mode, the Submit button must be clicked.
Note: The authorization process can take until one minute, please wait patiently and click
the Refresh buttons in order to check the current authorization status of the slaves after
changes.
You can do the following operations for each of the slaves included in the Slave
Authorization table:
Enabling/disabling the authorization:
If you uncheck the Auth Enable checkbox and click the Modify button,
the corresponding slave will be unauthorized and it will be added to the
Unauthorized Slave table (click on the Refresh buttons to update the
status) but it will not be removed from the Slave Authorization table as it is
shown in Picture. If the check the Auth Enable checkbox and click the
Modify button, the corresponding slave will be authorized and it will be
removed from the Unauthorized Slave table (click on the Refresh buttons
to update the status).
Changing the Slave Type:
The Slave Type is used to identify the slave by the type defined by the
manufacturer (see 2.7.3). The Slave Type combo box displays a list of type
as shown in Picture . For more information about the available Slave
Types, you can go to the SYSTEM→ SLAVE_TYPE menu. The type is usually
detected automatically by the CLM253.

Changing the Template Selection:
The Template Selection combo box (see Picture) allows to select a
configuration which it is uploaded from the CLM253 to the slave as soon
as the slave is connected to the network (Auto Update check box should
be checked). For more information about the template, you can go to
SLAVE→ Template menu.
Changing Starting Time, Ending time:
Currently not used. Please, keep Starting Time to 00:00 and Ending Time
to 23:59.
Enabling/Disabling auto-update template:
If the Auto Update Enable check box is checked, the slaves will get the
configuration template configured automatically as soon as they are
connected to the network. If this check box is unchecked, the slaves will
not get the configuration template automatically.
The Add An Authorized Slave button allows to add a slave to the Slave Authorization list. If
this button is clicked the screen shown in Picture is displayed. Input the desired value in
the following boxes:
Slave MAC address,

Enable broadcast restriction
The broadcast restriction function prevents the LAN
interfaces from being disrupted by a broadcast storm. You
can enable this feature by checking the ‘Enable
broadcast restriction’ check box.
Enable multicast restriction
The multicast restriction function prevents the LAN
interfaces from being disrupted by a high multicast traffic.
You can enable this feature by checking the ‘Enable
multicast restriction’ check box.
Enable unknown unicast
restriction
The unknown unicast restriction function prevents the LAN
interfaces from being disrupted by a high unknown unicast
traffic. You can enable this feature by checking the
‘Enable unknown unicast restriction’ check box.
Restriction threshold (packets
per second)
The restriction threshold is used to configure the maximum
number of packets per second allowed before one of any
of the restriction functions, which the user can enable in
this pane, starts to be applied. The user can select any of
the values available in the combo box.
Enable loopback check
The loopback check function allows to the device to
detect loops and disable a port that is on the receiving
end of a loop. A loop is detected by sending a test
packet. You can enable this feature by checking the
‘Enable loopback check’ check box.
Port
This is the column in the slave internal ports table showing
the internal port number of each of the available slave
internal ports. The slave internal ports are mapped with the
slave external ports depending on the slave type, see Port
Number item in Table for more details.

This is the column in the slave internal ports table where
you can enable or disable each port displayed checking
or unchecking the corresponding check box.

VLAN
This is the column in the slave internal ports table where
you can configure ports as access ports or trunk ports. The
available options in the related combo boxes are:
Disable: no VLAN configured.
Access: The port is configured in VLAN access mode. An
access port can have only one VLAN configured on the
interface; it can carry traffic for only one VLAN. The
behaviour is as follows:
If it receives a packet tagged with a VLAN ID !=
PVID (PVID is the value configure in the PVID
column for this port), it drops the packet.
If it receives a packet tagged with a VLAN ID =
PVID, it drops the packet.
If it receives a packet untagged, it accepts the
packet and adds a tag with PVID.
If it has to transmit a packet tagged with a VLAN ID
= PVID, it forwards the packet and removes tag.
If it has to transmit a packet tagged with a VLAN
ID != PVID, it forwards the packet and removes tag.
Trunk: The port is configured in VLAN trunk mode. A trunk
port can have two or more VLANs configured on the
interface; it can carry traffic for several VLANs
simultaneously. The behaviour is as follows:
If it receives a packet tagged with a VLAN ID !=
PVID, it process the packet and doesn’t change
anything. VLAN ID has to be included in the list of
the allowed VLANs, if not the packet is dropped.
If it receives a packet tagged with a VLAN ID =
PVID, it process the packet and doesn’t change
anything.
If it receives a packet untagged, it accepts the
packet and adds a tag with PVID.
If it has to transmit a packet tagged with a VLAN ID
= PVID, it forwards the packet and removes tag.
If it has to transmit a packet tagged with a VLAN
ID != PVID, it forwards the packet and removes tag.
VLAN ID has to be included in the list of the allowed
VLANs, if not the packet is dropped.
PVID
This is the column in the internal ports table where you can
configure the port VLAN ID (PVID). PVID is a tag which is
added to incoming untagged frames received on a port.
This value must be between 1 and 4095. A packet with a
VLAN ID matching PVID is inserted in the frame forwarded
through the port.
