The SmartRG SR516ac modem router supports both ADSL and VDSL, and switches automatically to match the line it is connected to.

* Note: Fees for changing plans apply, see our [[DSL Rates]].


Before you start configuring the modem:
The Hitron CODA-45 available from NCF has been certified by the following cable network vendors for operation on their infrastructure:
# '''Firmware Check:''' Check that your [[SmartRG SR516ac Firmware|firmware is up to date]] or update to the recommended version. If you have a different firmware version, the screenshots and instructions might not match exactly. Contact [http://mailto:support@ncf.ca support@ncf.ca] if you need assistance.

# '''Factory Settings:''' '''If you pick up a modem from the NCF office, it should already be configured for your account.''' These instructions are for configuring the modem from elsewhere or after it is been reset to factory settings.  If the modem is not new, we recommend resetting it by '''holding down the reset button with a paper clip for about 10 seconds'''.
* Cogeco (Ontario and Quebec)
#* We recommend these settings for most NCF members. To learn more about what the settings do and more advanced settings, consult the [[Modem Manuals|manual]].
#'''Ethernet Connection:''' Consult the [https://www.ncf.ca/ncf/support/w/images/4/4b/About_your_SmartRG_SR516ac.pdf About your SmartRG SR516ac modem instruction sheet] to learn how to connect the modem''. We recommend configuring the modem using a computer connected by an ethernet cable, as opposed to over a wireless connection.''
=Configuration=
'''If you pick up a modem from the NCF office, it should already be configured for your account.''' You can follow our instructions to configure the modem yourself, or contact [mailto:support@ncf.ca support@ncf.ca] if you would like to bring your modem to our office to be configured.


==Methods==

If you have access to email, we can send you a file to automatically configure the modem with your NCF account and our recommended settings, which is much easier than going through all the steps manually.  You can request a config file from [mailto:support@ncf.ca support@ncf.ca] then follow our [[SmartRG SR516ac Config from File|instructions to configure your modem with a config file]].

Network Eligibility

The Hitron CODA-45 available from NCF has been certified by the following cable network vendors for operation on their infrastructure:

  • Rogers (Ontario)
  • Cogeco (Ontario and Quebec)

Firmware

Current certified firmware versions: 7.2.4.3.1b3 and 7.1.1.1.2b1 (on the Rogers and Cogeco cable networks)

Cable network operators control what cable modems and firmware versions can be used on their networks. Operators run all cable devices and firmware versions through their own testing process, after which the device and firmware are certified for use on the cable network. After the testing and approval process of a new version of firmware for a cable device, cable network operators may then automatically upgrade all cable modems connected on their network with the latest certified firmware.

NCF does not have access to firmware that it can provide to members.

Accessing the Configuration

You must complete the Quick Setup for the Hitron CODA-45 before you can access its Configuration. If you have not completed the Quick Setup, you will be directed to it when attempting the follow the steps below.

To access the Hitron CODA-45 Configuration:

  1. Connect a device to the modem by plugging an ethernet cable from your device into one of the LAN ports on the back of the modem.
  2. Open up a web browser on your connected device.
  3. Enter 192.168.0.1 in your web browser's URL bar.
  4. A login screen for the Hitron CODA-45 will appear. The default username and password are case-sensitive, and are:
    • Username: cusadmin
    • Password: password
  5. Select Login. The Status Overview screen will display.

Modes of Operation

Functions only as a modem. A separate router is required to provide Wi-Fi.

Factory Reset

When you reset the CODA-45 to its factory default settings, all user-configured settings are lost, and the modem is returned to its initial configuration state.

To factory reset the CODA-45:

  • Using a pin or pencil tip, press and hold the recessed RESET button at the back of the modem for more than 5 seconds.

The CODA-45 will turn off and on again, and load with its factory default settings.

Note: Depending on your previous configuration, you may need to re-configure the IP settings of the devices you are connecting to the modem.

Modem Lights

The operational status of the Hitron CODA-45 is indicated by lights (LEDs). These LEDs indicate the status of the modem's power, downstream connection (DS), upstream connection (US), internet connectivity (@), and active Ethernet ports (LAN).

Information is communicated by the light colour (green or blue) and state (solid, off, or flashing).

Here's a summary of how to read the lights on the Hitron CODA-45:
