sharing through the LAN interfaces via the Samba

protocol (network neighborhood).

The CODA-551x supports the following Windows file

systems:

FAT16

FAT32

USB devices must not drain more than 500mA

from the USB port. USB devices requiring

more than 500mA should be provided with

their own power source(s).

RESET Use this button to reboot or reset your CODA-551x to its

factory default settings.

To reboot the CODA-551x, press the button and hold it

for less than five seconds. The CODA-551x restarts,

using your existing settings.

To reset the CODA-551x, press the button and hold it for

five or more seconds. All user-configured settings are

deleted, and the CODA-551x restarts using its factory

default settings.

1.3 LEDs

This section describes the CODA-551x’s LEDs (lights).

WAN Port The Wan-port is the uplink port of your device that uses

to connect to the wide area network such as Internet or

the modem that your ISP has provided.

LAN 1 Use these ports to connect your computers and other

network devices, using Category 5 or 6 Ethernet cables

with RJ45 connectors.

Each LAN port’s yellow LED glows when the connection

on the relevant port’s is at 1Gbps, and its green LED

glows when the connection is at 10/100Mbps.

LAN 2

POWER Use the POWER port to connect to the input

100~125VAC, output 12v, 5A power adapter that came

1.4 IP Address Setup

Before you log into the CODA-551x’s GUI, your computer’s IP address must be in the

same subnet as the CODA-551x. This allows your computer to communicate with the

CODA-551x.

NOTE: See When the CODA-551x is not in routing mode, the service provider

assigns an IP address to each computer connected to the CODA-551x

directly. The CODA-551x does not perform any routing operations, and traffic

flows between the computers and the service provider. on page 58 for

background information.

If your computer is configured to get an IP address automatically, or if you are not

sure, try to log in to the CODA-551x (see GUI Overview on page 20).

If the login screen displays, your computer is already configured correctly.

If the login screen does not display, your computer is not configured correctly.

Follow the procedure in Manual IP Address Setup on page 18 and set your

computer to get an IP address automatically. Try to log in again. If you cannot

address as shown. Try to log in again.

Solid-White Online & all enabled-radios active (Steady-state),

Hitron CODA-551x User’s Guide

NOTE: If you still cannot see the login screen, your CODA-551x’s IP settings may

have been changed from their defaults. If you do not know the CODA-551x’s

new address, you should return it to its factory defaults. See Resetting the

CODA-551x on page 21. Bear in mind that ALL user-configured settings are

lost.

1.4.1 Manual IP Address Setup

By default, your CODA-551x’s local IP address is 192.168.0.1. If your CODA-551x is

using the default IP address, you should set your computer’s IP address to be

between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254.

Take the following steps to manually set up your computer’s IP address to connect to

the CODA-551x:

NOTE: This example uses Windows 7; the procedure for your operating system may

be different.

1 Click the Start Orb, then click Control Panel.

2 In the window that displays, double-click Network And Sharing Center.

3 In the left-hand panel, click Change Adapter Settings.

4 Right-click your network connection (usually Local Area Connection) and click

Properties.

5 In the Networking tab’s This connection uses the following items list, scroll

down and select Internet Protocol (TCP/IPv4). Click Properties.

6 You can get an IP address automatically, or specify one manually:

If your network has an active DHCP server, select Get an IP address

automatically.

If your network does not have an active DHCP server, select Use the

following IP address. In the IP address field, enter a value between

192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254 (default). In the Subnet mask field, enter

255.255.255.0 (default). In the Default Gateway field, enter 192.168.0.1

(default).

Hitron CODA-551x User’s Guide

NOTE: If your CODA-551x is not using the default IP address, enter an IP address

and subnet mask that places your computer in the same subnet as the

CODA-551x.

7 Click OK. The Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) window closes. In the Local Area

Connection Properties window, click Close.

Your computer now obtains an IP address from the CODA-551x, or uses the IP

address that you specified, and can communicate with the CODA-551x.

1.5 Logging in to the CODA-551x

Take the following steps to log into the CODA-551x’s GUI.

NOTE: If you did not already complete the EasyConnect setup wizard (see

EasyConnect on page 23) you will be prompted to do so before you can log

in.

1 Open a browser window.

2 Enter the CODA-551x’s IP address (default 192.168.0.1) in the URL bar. The

Figure 4: Login

3 Enter the Username and Password. The default user name is cusadmin and

the password is the same as the password you configured for the wireless

network in the EasyConnect wizard (see EasyConnect on page 23).
