Step 1: Access the Gateway Administration Panel
Connect your computer directly to the 2.5GbE LAN Port 1 on the rear of the CGA4332 appliance with an Ethernet cable. Open your web browser tool and load the local management portal address:
URL: http://10.1.10.1
Input the default gateway operator profile information to pass through the authentication screen:
Username: cusadmin
Password: highspeed
Step 2: Toggle Bridge Mode
To drop the router down to a transparent modem Layer 2 bridge footprint:
Path: Gateway -> At a Glance
Locate the Bridge Mode setting switch. Select the toggle to turn the mode Enabled. Accept the warning dialog pop-up confirming that localized routing, built-in security controls, and private Wi-Fi signals will drop off.
The device interface will save the active configuration scripts and cycle the system hardware power automatically. Allow the unit 3 minutes to settle completely.
Step 3: Connect and Verify Your Firewall Router
Unplug your computer link from the device. Connect your dedicated firewall router's WAN uplink port directly into **LAN Port 1** on the CGA4332 unit. Check your network router console to verify it has successfully obtained the public IP assignment block without any secondary carrier NAT layers.
