IP Address Setup
Before you log into the CODA60x1’s GUI, your computer’s IP address must be in the
same subnet as the CODA60x1. This allows your computer to communicate with the
CODA60x1.
NOTE: See When the CODA60x1 is not in routing mode, the service provider
assigns an IP address to each computer connected to the CODA60x1
directly. The CODA60x1 does not perform any routing operations, and traffic
flows between the computers and the service provider. on page 59 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 CODA60x1 (see GUI Overview).
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 and set your computer to get
an IP address automatically. Try to log in again. If you cannot log in, follow the
manual IP address setup procedure again, and set a specific IP address as
shown. Try to log in again.
NOTE: If you still cannot see the login screen, your CODA60x1’s IP settings may
have been changed from their defaults. If you do not know the CODA60x1’s
new address, you should return it to its factory defaults. See Resetting the
CODA60x1. Bear in mind that ALL user-configured settings are lost.
1.4.1
Manual IP Address Setup
By default, your CODA60x1’s local IP address is 192.168.0.1. If your CODA60x1 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 CODA60x1:
NOTE: This example uses Windows 7; the procedure for your operating system may
be different.
1
Click the Windows Start Orb
, then click Control Panel.
2

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).
NOTE: If your CODA60x1 is not using the default IP address, enter an IP address
and subnet mask that places your computer in the same subnet as the
CODA60x1.
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 CODA60x1, or uses the IP
address that you specified, and can communicate with the CODA60x1.
1.5
Logging in to the CODA60x1

Status Overview

3.1.1
DOCSIS
The Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) is a
telecommunications standard that defines the delivery of data services, such as
Internet access, over traditional cable television (CATV) networks.

3.1.2
IP Addresses and Subnets
Every computer on the Internet must have a unique Internet Protocol (IP) address.
The IP address works much like a street address, in that it identifies a specific
location to which information is transmitted. No two computers on a network can have
the same IP address.
3.1.2.1
IP Address Format
IP addresses consist of four octets (8-bit numerical values) and are usually
represented in decimal notation, for example 192.168.1.1. In decimal notation, this
means that each octet has a minimum value of 0 and a maximum value of 255.
An IP address carries two basic pieces of information: the “network number” (the
address of the network as a whole, analogous to a street name) and the “host ID”
(analogous to a house number) which identifies the specific computer (or other
network device).
3.1.2.2
IP Address Assignment
IP addresses can come from three places:
The Internet Assigned Numbers Agency (IANA)
Your Internet Service Provider
You (or your network devices)
IANA is responsible for IP address allocation on a global scale, and your ISP assigns
IP addresses to its customers. You should never attempt to define your own IP
addresses on a public network, but you are free to do so on a private network.
In the case of the CODA60x1:
The public network (Wide Area Network or WAN) is the link between the cable
connector and your Internet Service Provider. Your CODA60x1’s IP address on
this network is assigned by your service provider.
background

Version 1.0, 11/2020. Copyright
2012 Hitron Technologies
3
23
Version 1.0, 08/2026. Copyright
The private network is your Local Area Network (LAN) and Wireless Local Area
Network (WLAN), if enabled. You are free to assign IP addresses to computers
on the LAN and WLAN manually, or to allow the CODA60x1 to assign them
automatically via DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). IANA has
reserved the following blocks of IP addresses to be used for private networks
only:
Table 6: Private IP Address Ranges
FROM...
...TO
10.0.0.0
10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0
172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0
192.168.255.255
If you assign addresses manually, they must be within the CODA60x1’s LAN
subnet.
3.1.2.3
Subnets
A subnet (short for sub-network) is, as the name suggests, a separate section of a
network, distinct from the main network of which it is a part. A subnet may contain all
of the computers at one corporate local office, for example, while the main network
includes several offices.
In order to define the extent of a subnet, and to differentiate it from the main network,
a subnet mask is used. This “masks” the part of the IP address that refers to the main
network, leaving the part of the IP address that refers to the sub-network.
Each subnet mask has 32 bits (binary digits), as does each IP address:
A binary value of 1 in the subnet mask indicates that the corresponding bit in the
IP address is part of the main network.
A binary value of 0 in the subnet mask indicates that the corresponding bit in the
IP address is part of the sub-network.
For example, the following table shows the IP address of a computer (192.168.1.1)
expressed in decimal and binary (each cell in the table indicates one octet):
Table: IP Address: Decimal and Binary
192
168

11000000
10101000
00000000

Version 1.0, 08/2026. Copyright
The following table shows a subnet mask that “masks” the first twenty-four bits of the
IP address, in both its decimal and binary notation.
Table: Subnet Mask: Decimal and Binary
255
255
255
0
11111111
11111111
11111111
00000000
This shows that in this subnet, the first three octets (192.168.1, in the example IP
address) define the main network, and the final octet (1, in the example IP address)
defines the computer’s address on the subnet.
The decimal and binary notations give us the two common ways to write a subnet
mask:
Decimal: the subnet mask is written in the same fashion as the IP address:
255.255.255.0, for example.
Binary: the subnet mask is indicated after the IP address (preceded by a forward
slash), specifying the number of binary digits that it masks. The subnet mask
255.255.255.0 masks the first twenty-four bits of the IP address, so it would be
written as follows: 192.168.1.1/24.
3.1.3
DHCP
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, or DHCP, defines the process by which IP
addresses can be assigned to computers and other networking devices
automatically, from another device on the network. This device is known as a DHCP
server, and provides addresses to all the DHCP client devices.
In order to receive an IP address via DHCP, a computer must first request one from
the DHCP server (this is a broadcast request, meaning that it is sent out to the whole
network, rather than just one IP address). The DHCP server hears the requests, and
responds by assigning an IP address to the computer that requested it.
If a computer is not configured to request an IP address via DHCP, you must
configure an IP address manually if you want to access other computers and devices
on the network. See IP Address Setup for more information.
By default, the CODA60x1 is a DHCP client on the WAN (the CATV connection). It
broadcasts an IP address over the cable network, and receives one from the service
provider. By default, the CODA60x1 is a DHCP server on the LAN; it provides IP
addresses to computers on the LAN which request them.

3.1.4
DHCP Lease
“DHCP lease” refers to the length of time for which a DHCP server allows a DHCP
client to use an IP address. Usually, a DHCP client will request a DHCP lease
renewal before the lease time is up, and can continue to use the IP address for an
additional period. However, if the client does not request a renewal, the DHCP server
stops allowing the client to use the IP address.
This is done to prevent IP addresses from being used up by computers that no longer
require them, since the pool of available IP addresses is finite.
3.1.5
MAC Addresses
Every network device possesses a Media Access Control (MAC) address. This is a
unique alphanumeric code, given to the device at the factory, which in most cases
cannot be changed (although some devices are capable of “MAC spoofing”, where
they impersonate another device’s MAC address).
MAC addresses are the most reliable way of identifying network devices, since IP
addresses tend to change over time (whether manually altered, or updated via
DHCP).
Each MAC address displays as six groups of two hexadecimal digits separated by
colons (or, occasionally, dashes) for example 00:AA:FF:1A:B5:74.
NOTE: Each group of two hexadecimal digits is known as an “octet”, since it
represents eight bits.
Bear in mind that a MAC address does not precisely represent a computer on your
network (or elsewhere), it represents a network device, which may be part of a
computer (or other device). For example, if a single computer has an Ethernet card
(to connect to your CODA60x1 via one of the LAN ports) and also has a wireless
card (to connect to your CODA60x1 over the wireless interface) the MAC addresses
of the two cards will be different. In the case of the CODA60x1, each internal module
(cable modem module, Ethernet module, wireless module, etc.) possesses its own
MAC address.

3.1.6
Residential Gateway function
When your CODA60x1 is in Residential Gateway function mode, it acts as a gateway
for computers on the LAN to access the Internet. The service provider assigns an IP
address to the CODA60x1 on the WAN, and all traffic for LAN computers is sent to
that IP address. The CODA60x1 assigns private IP addresses to LAN computers
(when DHCP is active), and transmits the relevant traffic to each private IP address.
NOTE: When DHCP is not active on the CODA60x1 in routing mode, each computer
on the LAN must be assigned an IP address in the CODA60x1’s subnet
manually.
When the CODA60x1 is not in Residential Gateway function mode, the service
provider assigns an IP address to each computer connected to the CODA60x1
directly. The CODA60x1 does not perform any routing operations, and traffic flows
between the computers and the service provider.
3.1.7
Configuration Files
The CODA60x1’s configuration (or config) file is a document that the CODA60x1
obtains automatically over the Internet from the service provider’s server, which
specifies the settings that the CODA60x1 should use. It contains a variety of settings
that are not present in the user-configurable Graphical User Interface (GUI) and can
be specified only by the service provider.
3.1.8
Downstream and Upstream Transmissions
The terms “downstream” and “upstream” refer to data traffic flows, and indicate the
direction in which the traffic is traveling. “Downstream” refers to traffic from the
service provider to the CODA60x1, and “upstream” refers to traffic from the
CODA60x1Q to the service provider.
3.1.9
Cable Frequencies
Just like radio transmissions, data transmissions over the cable network must exist
on different frequencies in order to avoid interference between signals.
The data traffic band is separate from the TV band, and each data channel is
separate from other data channels.

3.1.10
Modulation
Transmissions over the cable network are based on a strong, high frequency periodic
waveform known as the “carrier wave.” This carrier wave is so called because it
“carries” the data signal. The data signal itself is defined by variations in the carrier
wave. The process of varying the carrier wave (in order to carry data signal
information) is known as “modulation.” The data signal is thus known as the
“modulating signal.”
Cable transmissions use a variety of methods to perform modulation (and the
“decoding” of the received signal, or “demodulation”). The modulation methods
defined in DOCSIS 3 are as follows:
QPSK: Quadrature Phase-Shift Keying
QAM: Quadrature Amplitude Modulation
QAM TCM: Trellis modulated Quadrature Amplitude Modulation
In many cases, a number precedes the modulation type (for example 16 QAM). This
number refers to the complexity of modulation. The higher the number, the more data
can be encoded in each symbol.
NOTE: In modulated signals, each distinct modulated character (for example, each
audible tone produced by a modem for transmission over telephone lines) is
known as a symbol.
Since more information can be represented by a single character, a higher number
indicates a higher data transfer rate.
3.1.11
TDMA, FDMA and SCDMA
Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA)
and Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (SCDMA) are channel access
methods that allow multiple users to share the same frequency channel.
TDMA allows multiple users to share the same frequency channel by splitting
transmissions by time. Each user is allocated a number of time slots, and
transmits during those time slots.
FDMA allows multiple users to share the same frequency channel by assigning a
frequency band within the existing channel to each user.

Version 1.0, 08/2026. Copyright
SCDMA allows multiple users to share the same frequency channel by assigning
a unique orthogonal code to each user.
3.1.12
OFDM
Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a physical-layer data
encoding method for transmitting and receiving data on Radio Frequency (RF)
media, such as the CODA60x1’s cable connection.
OFDM takes a single wide-band signal and separates it into multiple simultaneous
subcarriers across the available RF spectrum, separated by the minimum frequency
necessary to ensure non-interference among sub-carriers. “Orthogonal”, in this
usage, refers to this non-interfering quality of the technique.
The primary advantage of OFDM is that a signal encoded using the method can
withstand suboptimal conditions on the RF medium. Depending on its
implementation, OFDM can also enable faster signal throughput.
As a DOCSIS 3.1 modem, CODA60x1 supports up to 2 OFDM channels on its
downstream.
3.1.13
FFT
The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is an algorithm for rapidly implementing Fourier
analysis of a data stream, used by modulation methods such as OFDM. Fourier
analysis is a mathematical technique that enables the representation of data using
simpler trigonometric functions.
In this implementation, Fourier analysis is used to construct the frequency data for
transmission, and to deconstruct received frequency data.
3.1.14
OFDMA
Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) is a multiuser adaptation
of OFDM (see OFDM ) that permits simultaneous use by multiple users by assigning
a specific group of OFDM subcarriers to each individual user.

Basic Overview
This section describes some of the concepts related to the Basic screens.
4.1.1
The Domain Name System
A domain is a location on a network, such as example.com. On the Internet, domain
names are mapped to the IP addresses of the servers to which they refer by the
Domain Name System (DNS). This allows you to enter “www.example.com” into your
web browser and access the correct website, even if the IP address of the website's
server changes.

4.1.2
Port Forwarding
Port forwarding allows a computer on your LAN to receive specific types of incoming
traffic from the WAN. It is typically used to allow certain applications, such as online
gaming, to receive incoming connections through the firewall on a specific computer
on the LAN. Port forwarding is also commonly used to host a public HTTP server on
a private network.
You can create a port forwarding rule for each application for which you want to
open ports through the firewall. When the CODA60x1 receives incoming traffic from
the WAN with a destination port that matches a port forwarding rule, it forwards the
traffic to the LAN IP address and port number specified in the rule.
NOTE: For information about the ports that need to be opened for a particular
application, refer to the application's documentation.
4.1.3
Port
Triggering
Port triggering is a means of automating port forwarding. The CODA60x1 scans
outgoing traffic (from the LAN to the WAN) to see if any of the traffic’s destination
ports match those specified in the port triggering rules you configure. If any of the
ports match, the CODA60x1 automatically opens the incoming ports specified in the
rule, in anticipation of incoming traffic.
4.1.4
DMZ
In networking, a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is a part of your LAN that is isolated from
the rest of the LAN and exposed to the WAN. The term originates from the military
designation for a piece of territory, usually located between two opposing forces, that
is isolated from both sides and occupied by neither.
4.1.5
Routing Mode
When the CODA60x1 is in routing mode, it acts as a gateway that allows computers
on the LAN to access the Internet. The service provider assigns a WAN IP address
to the CODA60x1, and traffic from LAN computers is routed through that IP address.
The CODA60x1 assigns private IP addresses to LAN computers when DHCP is
enabled and forwards the appropriate traffic to each private IP address.
NOTE: When DHCP is disabled on the CODA60x1 in routing mode, each computer
on the LAN must be manually assigned an IP address within the CODA60x1's
subnet.

When the CODA60x1 is not in routing mode, the service provider assigns an IP
address to each computer directly connected to the CODA60x1. The CODA60x1 does
not perform routing functions; instead, traffic flows directly between the connected
computers and the service provider.

Wireless
This chapter describes the screens that display when you click Wireless in the
toolbar. It contains the following sections:
Wireless Overview
The Wireless: Basic Settings Screen
The Wireless: Access Control Screen
The Advanced Wireless settings Screen
5.1
Wireless Overview
This section describes some of the concepts related to the Wireless screens.
5.1.1
Wireless Networking Basics
Your CODA60x1's wireless network is part of the Local Area Network (LAN), also
known as a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). The WLAN uses wireless radio
links to connect the CODA60x1 to computers and other devices on the network.
5.1.2
Architecture
A wireless network consists of two types of devices: access points (APs) and
clients.
The access point manages the wireless network and provides a wireless
connection to each client.
Wireless clients connect to the access point to access the WAN and wired
LAN through the wireless network.

The CODA60x1 acts as the access point, while the computers and other devices
connected to the CODA60x1 wirelessly are the wireless clients.
5.1.3
Wireless Frequency Ranges and Channels
Wireless communication between a client and the access point takes place within
specific ranges of the radio spectrum. The most commonly used Wi-Fi frequency
bands are the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands.
The 2.4 GHz band operates approximately from 2400 MHz to 2500 MHz, while the 5
GHz band covers several frequency ranges, depending on the region and regulatory
requirements. Wi-Fi 7 also supports the 6 GHz band, which provides additional
spectrum and more available channels for wireless communication. The specific
frequencies and channels available in the 6 GHz band vary by country or region.
These frequency ranges are divided into multiple channels to allow multiple wireless
networks to operate in the same or overlapping locations. On a wireless network,
the access point and its clients communicate using the same radio channel.
In the 2.4 GHz band, there are up to fourteen channels, although not all channels
are available in every region. For example, in North America, channels 1 through 11
are available. Each channel is typically 20 MHz wide, although compatible devices
can combine two adjacent channels to use a 40 MHz channel and increase
bandwidth. Because the center frequencies of adjacent 2.4 GHz channels are only 5
MHz apart, the channels overlap. This can cause interference between nearby
wireless networks.
To minimize interference and maximize wireless performance, select channels that
are not heavily used by nearby wireless networks and, where possible, do not
overlap with neighboring networks.
The 5 GHz band provides more channels and generally has less channel overlap
than the 2.4 GHz band. However, the channels available for use vary by region, and
some channels may be subject to Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS)
requirements.
The 6 GHz band, introduced for Wi-Fi 6E and also supported by Wi-Fi 7, provides
additional spectrum for wireless communication. Wi-Fi 7 can use wider channels,
including 320 MHz channels, where supported by the device, regulatory domain,
and available spectrum. The additional spectrum and wider channels can provide
higher throughput and reduce congestion compared with the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
bands.
Note: The frequency ranges, available channels, channel widths, and transmit
power limits vary by country or region and are subject to local regulatory
requirements..

Figure: 2.4GHz Wireless Channel Overlap
5.1.3.1
Automatic Channel Selection
The CODA60x1's Automatic Channel Selection (ACS) feature enables the wireless
module to scan the surrounding wireless environment, identify the channel with the
least interference, and automatically use that channel for wireless communication on
the relevant network.
The wireless environment is analyzed and a channel is selected when the
CODA60x1's wireless network starts with the relevant radio channel set to Auto,
when Auto mode is selected, when the Refresh button is pressed, or under certain
conditions when Dynamic Channel Change is enabled (see Dynamic Channel
Change).
5.1.3.2
Band Steering
When wireless client devices are capable of operating on both the 2.4GHz band and
the 5GHz band, it is generally desirable for them to connect to the CODA60x1 on the
5GHz wireless network, due to the likelihood of there being less interference on that
band. When enabled, band steering does this by detecting whether wireless clients
are also 5GHz-capable and, if so, encouraging the client to connect on the 5GHz
wireless network rather than the 2.4GHz wireless network.

5.1.3.3
Dynamic Channel Change
Dynamic Channel Change (DCC) improves strength and continuity of wireless signal
even when environmental conditions change, by enabling Automatic Channel
Selection (see Automatic Channel Selection) to be triggered when the current
channel’s interference reduces the data transmission rate below a threshold level.
When DCC is enabled, a check of all available wireless channels is performed
regularly. If the signal quality of the current channel deteriorates below the threshold
level, the CODA60x1 switches to a channel with superior signal quality.
NOTE: At the time of writing, the DCC check is performed sixty times a minute.
When environmental conditions mean there is no available channel with acceptable
signal quality, DCC is automatically disabled if channel switching occurs too often in
any period, in order to avoid the inconvenience of rapid unnecessary switching.
NOTE: At the time of writing, DCC is automatically disabled if automatic channel
switching occurs more than three times in any five minute period.
NOTE: At the time of writing, DCC is only available on the 5GHz wireless network.
5.1.4
Wireless Standards
Wireless communication standards are defined by the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE). IEEE standards for wireless local area networks
(WLANs) are identified by the 802.11 designation.
There are several WLAN standards, and the CODA60x1 supports the following
standards, listed from older to newer generations:
IEEE 802.11a
IEEE 802.11g
IEEE 802.11n
IEEE 802.11ac
IEEE 802.11ax
IEEE 802.11be

5.1.5
Service Sets and SSIDs
Each wireless network, including the devices that comprise it, is known as a
Service Set.
NOTE: Depending on its capabilities and configuration, a single wireless access
point can support multiple Service Sets. This is often used to provide
different levels of service or security to different clients.
Each Service Set is identified by a Service Set Identifier (SSID), which is the name
of the wireless network. Wireless clients must know the SSID to connect to the
access point (AP).
You can configure the CODA60x1 to broadcast the SSID, allowing wireless clients
that scan for available networks to discover it. Alternatively, you can configure the
CODA60x1 to hide the SSID, in which case the SSID is not included in broadcast
network information. Clients that know the SSID can still attempt to connect to the
network.
5.1.6
Wireless Security
Wireless communication uses radio signals, which can potentially be intercepted by
devices within the wireless coverage area. Wireless security mechanisms are
therefore used to authenticate wireless clients and protect transmitted data through
encryption.
The CODA60x1 supports the following wireless security modes:
WPA2-Personal (WPA2-PSK): WPA2-Personal uses a pre-shared key (PSK)
to authenticate wireless clients and uses the Advanced Encryption Standard
(AES) with Counter Mode with Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication
Code Protocol (CCMP) to protect wireless communications. WPA2-Personal
provides broad compatibility with wireless client devices.
WPA3-Personal: WPA3-Personal provides enhanced wireless security and
uses Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) instead of the pre-
shared key authentication method used by WPA2-Personal. WPA3-Personal
provides stronger protection against password-guessing attacks and is
recommended for wireless clients that support WPA3.
WPA3-Personal-Transition: WPA3-Personal-Transition mode allows both
WPA3-Personal and WPA2-Personal wireless clients to connect to the same
wireless network. WPA3-capable clients can use WPA3 security, while clients
that do not support WPA3 can connect using WPA2-Personal. This mode
provides compatibility with older wireless clients while allowing newer clients to
use enhanced WPA3 security.
NOTE: The wireless security modes available on the CODA60x1 may vary

depending on the wireless frequency band, regulatory requirements, and
client device capabilities.
5.1.6.1
WPS
Wi-Fi-Protected Setup (WPS) is a standardized method of allowing wireless devices
to quickly and easily join wireless networks, while maintaining a good level of
security. The CODA60x1 provides two methods of WPS authentication:
Push-Button Configuration (PBC): when the user presses the PBC button on
the AP (either a physical button, or a virtual button in the GUI), any user of a
wireless client that supports WPS can press the corresponding PBC button on
the client within two minutes to join the network.
Personal Identification Number (PIN) Configuration: all WPS-capable
devices possess a PIN (usually to be found printed on a sticker on the device’s
housing). When you configure another device to use the same PIN, the two
devices authenticate with one another.
Once authenticated, devices that have joined a network via WPS use the WPA2
security standard.
5.1.7
WMM
Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is a Quality of Service (QoS) enhancement that prioritizes
different types of data traffic over the wireless network. WMM provides four traffic
categories, listed in order of priority from highest to lowest:
Voice
Video
Best effort
Background
Enabling WMM can improve the performance of latency-sensitive applications, such
as voice and video, by prioritizing their traffic over less time-sensitive applications,
such as web browsing and FTP transfers.
You can also modify the WMM QoS parameters. However, it is recommended that
you do not change these parameters unless you have a specific reason to do so, as
incorrect settings may negatively affect wireless network performance.

Ping: This tool allows you to enter an IP address and determine whether a
computer or other network device responds to that address on the network.
The name is derived from the pulse emitted by submarine SONAR
systems when detecting underwater objects, as the process is
conceptually similar. You can use this tool to determine whether an IP
address is in use or to check whether a device with a known IP address is
operating properly.

This chapter describes the screens that display when you click Security in the
toolbar. It contains the following sections:
Security Overview
The Security: Firewall Screen
The Security: IPv6 Inbound Firewall
The Security: Device Filter Screen
The Security: VPN Passthrough Screen
7.1
Security Overview
This section describes some of the concepts related to the Security screens.
7.1.1
Firewall
The term “firewall” comes from a construction technique designed to prevent the
spread of fire from one area to another. Similarly, the CODA60x1's firewall helps
protect devices on your LAN by blocking unauthorized access attempts and other
unwanted traffic originating from the WAN.
You can also use filtering features to control which computers and other devices are
allowed to access the network and to block specific types of traffic from the LAN to
the WAN.

7.1.2
Device Filtering
Every network device has a unique Media Access Control (MAC) address that
identifies it on the network. When MAC address filtering is enabled on the
CODA60x1's firewall, you can create a list of devices identified by their MAC
addresses and specify whether to:
Block the devices on the list from accessing the CODA60x1 and the network.
All other devices are allowed to access the network.
or
Allow only the devices on the list to access the CODA60x1 and the
network. All other devices are denied access.
7.1.3
Port Blocking
Port blocking is a method of controlling connections from devices on the LAN to
devices on the WAN through specific services, protocols, or applications. The
CODA60x1 allows you to block or allow traffic based on its destination port,
preventing access to specified services or applications.
7.2
The Security: Firewall Screen
Use this screen to enable or disable firewall features and allow or block specific
applications and protocols. You can select a firewall protection level from the
predefined options or create a custom protection profile.
NOTE: To block specific ports, use the Port Blocking screen (see The Security:
IPv6 Inbound Firewall).
Click Security > Firewall Settings. The following screen displays.

The Advanced: DDNS
Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) allows you to associate a hostname with the
CODA60x1's public IP address.
When DDNS is enabled, the CODA60x1 automatically updates the DDNS service
whenever its public IP address changes. This allows you to use a consistent
hostname to access services or devices on your network without needing to know the
current public IP address.
DDNS is particularly useful when your Internet service provider assigns a dynamic
public IP address.
Use this screen to configure the CODA60x1's DDNS settings.

The Advanced: Static Route
A static route is a manually configured routing rule that specifies how traffic destined
for a particular network or subnet should be forwarded. Unlike dynamic routing, static
routes do not change automatically based on network conditions.
Use this screen to configure static routes on the CODA60x1. You can specify the
destination network, subnet mask, gateway, and interface to define the path that
traffic should take.
Static routes are useful when devices on the LAN need to communicate with another
network or subnet through a specific router or gateway. For example, you can
configure a static route when a downstream router provides access to a separate
private network.
Click Advanced > Static Route. The following screen displays.

Ensure that you are using the correct IP address for the CODA60x1.
2
Check your network’s hardware connections, and that the CODA60x1’s LEDs
display correctly (see LEDs).
3
Make sure that your computer is on the same subnet as the CODA60x1; see IP
Address Setup.
4
If the above steps do not work, you need to reset the CODA60x1. See Resetting
the CODA60x1. All user-configured data is lost, and the CODA60x1 is returned
to its default settings. If you previously backed-up a more recent version your
CODA60x1’s settings, you can now upload them to the CODA60x1; see The
Admin: Backup Screen.
5
If the problem persists, contact your vendor.
Problem: I Cannot Connect My Wireless Device
1
Ensure that your wireless client device is functioning properly, and is configured
correctly. See the wireless client’s documentation if unsure.
2
Ensure that the wireless client is within the CODA60x1’s radio coverage area.
Bear in mind that physical obstructions (walls, floors, trees, etc.) and electrical
interference (other radio transmitters, microwave ovens, etc) reduce your
CODA60x1’s signal quality and coverage area.
