Cable Modem NOTES:

The 3Com CMX does not have a diagnostics web page, but does have a serial communication port on which it produces a log. To read this log, connect your PC's serial port to the CMX's serial port with a null modem cable (or laplink cable). Launch a terminal emulator such as Hyperterminal, and set the serial communication parameters to 38400 bps, 8 data bits, No parity, 1 stop bit. (You might need to experiment to find the correct flow-control settings to avoid data over-run and a corrupt log view). Power the CMX off and on again, and watch the log stream by as it configures itself. The information in the log includes the signal levels, as described above. The log is produced only during the boot process, and when the CMX is recovering from errors.
