The CTM-ONE will be ready for access and configuration approximately 50 seconds after applying power.
After powering on, the CTM-ONE's power LED will remain solid green. During the booting process, the remaining four LEDs will flash in a left-to-right pattern, with blinking RED LEDs. Once the blinking ceases, the modem will be accessible.
The wireless gateway 500 can be configured via Ethernet or Wi-Fi, depending on the enabled access in the configuration. By default, local Ethernet access is enabled, and Wi-Fi is disabledprovided it is enabled. Depending on the initial configuration upon shipment, enabling Wi-Fi access this step may be optional.
Ethernet

Firmware 1.4.X and later ONLY supports https:// |
When physically connected via an Ethernet cable, the CTM-ONE web interface is accessible by opening a browser and navigating to either https://Connect one end of a standard Ethernet patch cable to any of the Ethernet ports on the CTM-500, and connect the other end to a LAN device, PC, or Ethernet peripheral. The Ethernet port supports 10/100/1000Base-T connection types and features auto MDI/MDIX support. This eliminates the need for an Ethernet crossover cable, whether the CTM-500 is connected to a router or directly to a computer.

Ethernet access can be disabled, but before doing so, ensure you have confirmed alternative access via other mechanisms, such as Cypress IOT.
Wi-Fi
To check the status of the Wi-Fi access on the modem:
If the Wi-Fi LED is OFF, it indicates that Wi-Fi access is disabled.
If the Wi-Fi LED is blinking GREEN, Wi-Fi access is available, but no clients have registered yet.
Wi-Fi access is established when the Wi-Fi LED is solid Green.
When the CTM-ONE's Wi-Fi access point is enabled, it can broadcast its SSID. You can scan for the SSID and connect to it after entering the Wi-Fi password.

Depending on the configuration, some units will ship with customer-defined SSID and PSK |
Wi-Fi access can be disabled in the modem configuration if necessary

The CTM-ONE 500 supports two Wi-Fi interfaces: WLAN0 and WLAN1.
Both interfaces can be configured as either an Access Point (AP) Interface or a Client Interface.
Only one configuration per interface is supported. For example, WLAN0 can be configured as an Access Point, but it cannot be configured as both an Access Point and a Client simultaneously.
If you require both Access Point (AP) and Client configurations, WLAN0 must be set to Access Point (AP) mode, and WLAN1 must be set to Client mode.

When configured as both an access point and a client, the Wi-Fi LED will display a blended red/green color. The CTM-ONE has a bi-color LED and cannot accurately represent a green color for access point and a red color for client mode simultaneously. |
