NETGEAR Wireless Cable Gateway CG3000
Signal Status
Signal Status lets you follow the startup procedure and get details on the Downstream and
Upstream cable channel.
Figure 1. Startup, downstream, and upstream information
Use the Signal Status screen to track the gateway’s initialization procedure, and to get details
about the downstream and upstream cable channel. The time is displayed after the gateway
is initialized.
The gateway automatically goes through the following steps in the provisioning process:
• Scan and lock the downstream frequency, and then link back in upstream direction.
• Obtain an IP address for the gateway itself. Then the gateway assigns an IP address for
the connected PC.
• Connect to the Internet.
