Manage Your Modem (continued)
CLEAR Modem Home Page / Advanced / Firewall Tab
Warning: This tab includes settings that could negatively impact the performance of the Modem, if
set incorrectly. These settings should be modified only by advanced users or if directed by CLEAR
Customer Care.
A firewall can be used to help to protect your home network from unauthorized access. A firewall
also helps to manage authorized access from the internet to your Modem.
 Operation Mode: The default Gateway Mode setting, which can’t be changed.
 Enable Firewall: Check the box to enable the firewall setting.
 Enable Web Login from Internet: Check the box to enable you to access your Modem from a
network other than your own network.
 Web Login Port from Internet: Choose a port number with which to connect when logging in
from a network other than your own. The default is 8080.
 Enable ping from Internet: Check the box to enable your Modem to respond to a ping from the
internet. This option should be enabled to allow testing only.
Click “APPLY” when you’re ready to change the firewall settings.
If you don’t want to make any changes to the firewall settings, click “CANCEL”.
The other tabs (Home, Device Status, and Basic) appear on all screens of the CLEAR Modem Home
Page.

 Logout: To log out of the Modem.
 Reboot: To turn the Modem off and turn it back on.
 Reconnect: To reconnect to the Modem, if you’ve lost your connection.
