Determine the following before changing system parameters:
❑ If secured management access is required for the modem, add users and assign one of three
predefined security levels: Default, Engineer, or Super User.
❑ If SNMP authentication is required, add SNMP communities with either read or write
access.
❑ Add the IP address for the network default router through which packets are forwarded.
❑ If static routes will be used to predetermined destinations, identify the destination host or
network IP address. Also, identify the next hop gateway IP address for devices on your
LAN (for example, the modem LAN port IP address).
❑ If spanning tree protocol is required, based on one or both of the following conditions, then
enable it:
– RFC 1483-Bridge protocol is used for any session or for the 10Base-T port (LAN)
– there are multiple bridging devices on a LAN with more than one physical path
connecting them and you want to prevent loops
Otherwise, disable spanning tree protocol.
