After you’ve logged in to the CLEAR Modem Home Page, you’ll see the Home Tab, which displays
helpful information about the Modem.
 Signal Meter: Shows the Modem’s signal strength in its current location. Five LEDs lit indicates
an excellent signal.
 Current Device Settings:
o
Device Software Version: Shows the software version of the Modem, which cannot be
changed.
o
WiMAX MAC ID: Shows the MAC ID of the Modem. A Mac ID is a unique serial number
burned into network adaptors that identifies them on a network. The Modem has the ability
to specify what MAC IDs are allowed to connect the Modem. The MAC ID can be found on
the label on the bottom of the Modem. The MAC ID can’t be changed.
o
CINR: Displays a measurement of signal effectiveness, or CINR, for the active connection.
o WAN IP Address: Displays the Internet Protocol (IP) Address used to locate and access
your Modem.
o Firewall ON/OFF: 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.
o Device Up Time: Displays the length of time the Modem has been on.
o Port Forwarding ON/OFF: Port forwarding enables you to direct incoming traffic to
specific LAN hosts (computers on your network) based on the protocol and port number.
Port Forwarding is used to play Internet games or provide local services (such as web
hosting) for a LAN group.
