Check Power Sources – The AC adapter for your Toshiba PCX5000 must be used with a
AC100V-120V 50Hz/60Hz supply outlet. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.
Be Careful of Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords, as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, damaged or cracked wire insulation, and broken plugs are dangerous. Periodically examine the cord, and if its appearance indicates damage or deteriorated insulation, have it replaced by your service technician.
Protect Power Cords - Route power supply cords so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Pay particular attention to cords where they are attached to plugs and convenience receptacles, and examine the point where the power cord attaches to the PCX5000.
Check Ventilation - Slots and openings in the enclosure are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the PCX5000 and to protect it from overheating. Do not block or cover these openings. Never block these openings by placing the PCX5000 on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Never place the PCX5 000 near or over a radiator or heat register, or any other heat source
(including amplifiers). Do not place the PCX5000 in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or equipment rack, unless you provide proper ventilation.

Security Precautions
The PCX5000 provides your home network with the highest level of security. However, no product can provide you with absolute protection against a determined effort to break into your system. We recommend using additional security precautions, such as encrypting files and folders to protect highly valuable or sensitive information.
If you are using the wireless access capability of the PCX5000 and the wireless security options
(encryption and access control) are disabled, an unauthorized user can penetrate your computers with a remote wireless device. See the section “PCX5000 Wireless Configuration” in this manual to set the appropriate wireless security parameters.
Range of Wireless Communication
The range of the wireless signal may vary according to the actual radio conditions at the location where the wireless LAN product is installed. The range of wireless devices may be affected by metal surfaces and high-density materials such as concrete walls. Range is also impacted due to
“obstacles” in the signal path of the radio that may either absorb or reflect the radio signal.
Overview
The PCX5000 provides you with high-speed data communications over the television cable network by following the widely accepted DOCSIS standard. This standard, as defined by CableLabs™, offers a combination of high performance and interoperability among all major cable system operators in North America.
How does the PCX5000 work?
Digital signals are represented by high and low electrical voltage levels. The speed of how fast these levels can switch and still be transmitted is determined by the "bandwidth" of the transmission system. The pair of wires used in a telephone connection has a greatly limited bandwidth because of their electrical characteristics. When a device called a modem is connected between the computer output and the phone line, it generates an electrical wave whose strength and phase change in step with the highs and lows of the computer's digital output. It is because of the "smoothness" of the resultant signal that a higher data rate can be transmitted.
A cable modem “ modulates” and “demodulates” electrical signals in the same way that the telephone modem does. However, since coaxial cable can transmit much higher frequencies, cable modems are far more complex. None of the activity caused by the PCX5000 disturbs your regular cable TV reception.
How does the PCX5000 connect to a computer?
The 10/100 Ethernet connection, USB connection and 802.11b wireless connection used in this device are emerging as the most popular means of networking computers together and to the
Internet.
How does the PCX5000 differ from a stand-alone DOCSIS cable modem?
The standalone cable modem is designed to connect one computer. The PCX5000 is designed to connect multiple computers using 10/100 Ethernet, USB and 802.11b wireless interface. For standalone cable modems, you typically need to purchase an additional networking device called a router to connect more than one computer to the cable modem. With the PCX5000, all of your computers can share your high-speed connection.
The PCX5000 also includes advance security features such as a Stateful Inspection firewall that can protect your personal information and your equipment from malicious damage by hackers. The
PCX5000 Stateful Inspection firewall is intelligent enough to know what applications should be allowed to access your network, and those that should be excluded.
What is DOCSIS?
Data Over Cable Service Interface Specifications. DOCSIS defines interface requirements for cable modems involved in high-speed data distribution over a cable television network. On November 17,
1997, Cable Television Laboratories, Inc. (CableLabs) and its members established a formal path of certification for cable modem equipment suppliers to obtain an interoperability seal for their products based on the DOCSIS specification. This certification process provides cable modem equipment suppliers with a fast, market-oriented method for attaining cable industry acknowledgment of compliance with DOCSIS.

Q: How will I be notified of new firmware upgrades?
A: Your cable operator will automatically apply firmware updates.
Q: What is router mode?
A: Router mode allows all of your computers to share a single IP address. This single shared IP address (WAN IP) is provided by your CSP. The PCX5000 will dynamically assign local addresses to all of your computers and enable them to share your connection. In router mode, the PCX5000 implements a Stateful Inspection Firewall to protect all of your computers from unauthorized access from the Internet. The PCX5000 is shipped with router mode enabled.
Q: What is bridge mode?
A: Bridge mode disables the sharing of single IP address. Each of your computers will need to obtain a unique IP address from your CSP. Contact your CSP to find out how to obtain additional IP addresses for multiple computers. In bridge mode, the PCX5000 disables the Stateful Inspection
Firewall thus allowing all data from your computers to flow freely to/from the Internet. The PCX5000 is shipped with bridge mode disabled.
Q: What should I do if the PCX5000 configuration pages are not displayed properly?
A:
Follow these steps:
1. Make sure you are using browser versions IE 5.0 or Netscape 4.5 or later.

”General” menu, under “Temporary Internet files”, click on the “Settings” button. In the Settings menu, click on the “Automatically” option under “Check for new versions of stored pages”.
Q: What should I do if I cannot access the PCX5000 configuration pages?
A:
Follow these steps:
1.
Make sure the PCX5000 modem is turned on.
2. Make sure your PCX5000 is properly connected to the networked computers.
3. If you have more than one PC connected, try accessing to the PCX5000 pages from a different
PC. If you succeed, check your original PC's connections and network settings.
4. Turn off the PCX5000 and turn it on again after 10 seconds.

Glossary
10/100BaseT(10/100 Ethernet)
Unshielded, twisted pair cable with an RJ-45 connector, used with Ethernet LAN. “10/100” indicates dual speed (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps), “Base” refers to baseband technology, and “T” means twisted pair cable.
Cable TV Coax
Cable that allows wide bandwidth transmission over long distances. Coaxial cable (coax) comprises an inner conductor surrounded by insulation. An outer conductor wraps around the insulation, which, in turn, is covered by an outer plastic covering.
DHCP
Any machine requires a unique IP address to connect to the internet using Internet Protocol.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a communications protocol that assigns Internet
Protocol (IP) addresses to computers on the network. DHCP uses the concept of a “lease” or amount of time that a given IP address will be valid for a computer.
DMZ
A DMZ (demilitarized zone) allows one computer to be exposed to the Internet. An example of using a DMZ would be exposing a public server, while preventing outside users from getting direct access form this server back to the private network.
Domain Name System (DNS)
The Domain Name System (DNS) refers to the internet domain names, or easy-to-remember
“handles”, that are translated into IP addresses. An example of a Domain Name is
‘www.toshiba.com’.
Ethernet card
A plug-in circuit board installed in an expansion slot of a personal computer. The Ethernet card
(sometimes called a Network Interface Card, or NIC) takes parallel data from the computer, converts it to serial data, puts it into a packet format, and sends it over the 10/100 LAN cable.
F connector
A type of coaxial connector, labeled RF on the rear of the Toshiba PCX5000 that connects the modem to the cable system.
Firewall
A program or a set of related programs, located on a network gateway server protecting your private network resources from users (and abusers) on the Internet. A firewall inspects each packet to determine whether it complies with the security policy and blocks illegal traffic. Packets do not enter the home network unless they comply with the security policy.
Gateway
A gateway is a network point that acts as an entrance to another network.
Headend
The equipment, in the central office of the service provider, where the cable signals originate.
Hybrid Fiber/ Coaxial (HFC) system
A system where the trunk of the cable plant is fiber technology. Somewhere near the subscriber’s home, the fiber is connected to a coaxial cable, and the signal is converted so that it is compatible with the fiber media. The coaxial cable then runs through the branches of the network and is finally dropped into the home.
HUB
A device used to connect multiple computers to the PCX5000.
Internet
A collection of interconnected networks used for worldwide computer-based communications.
IP Address
A unique, 32-bit address assigned to every device in a network. An IP (Internet Protocol) address has two parts: 1) a network address and 2) a host address. Each network is assigned an address by a government agency, and each company administrator assigns an address to each host computer.
0
MAC Address
The MAC (Media Access Control) address is a computer’s unique hardware number. When connected to the Internet from your computer, a mapping relates your IP address to your computer’s physical (MAC) address on the LAN.
Modem registration
The process the Toshiba PCX5000 uses to make itself known to the headend equipment. Once authorized by the router, the modem is assigned upstream and downstream channels for data communication.
NAT
Network Address Translation (NAT) is the translation or mapping of an IP address to a different IP address. NAT is used to map several internal IP addresses to a single IP address, thereby sharing a single IP address assigned by the CSP among several computers. Stateful Inspection Network
Address Translation (NAT) implementation supports hundreds of pre-defined applications, and protocols.
Network driver
A (software) file included with the Ethernet card. The file is loaded on the computer to allow the computer to recognize the Ethernet card. See Ethernet Card.
RJ-45
Connector on the Toshiba PCX5000, labeled 10/100 that connects the modem to a computer or to a
HUB.
Subscriber
A computer user in the home who accesses a data service using the Toshiba PCX5000.
Subnet
A network subdivision. When subnetting is used, the IP (Internet Protocol) address is divided into a subnet number and a host number. Hosts and gateways identify the bits used for the network and subnet number using a subnet mask.
TCP/IP communication stack
Software in the subscriber computer that processes packets through the communication layers. The subscriber configures the IP address for the computer and the router default gateway in the software.
The TCP/IP communication stack handles all the communications with the subscriber’s application.
URL
A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is the address of a file (resource) accessible on the Internet. The type of resource depends on the Internet application protocol. On the Web (which uses the Hypertext
Transfer Protocol), an example of a URL is ‘http://www.toshiba.com’.
USB
Universal Serial Bus, standardized for easy connections between the computer and the other peripherals. USB connects more than computers and peripherals.
WEP
WEP is Wired Equivalent Privacy, based on the use of 64-bit or 128-bit keys and the popular RC4 encryption algorithm as described in the IEEE802.11 standard. Wireless devices without a valid
WEP key will be excluded from network traffic.
