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.

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.

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.

CTMONE-[last 4 digits of MAC] for WLAN0 Access Point
CypressAccess
The CTM-ONE 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.
WLAN0 | WLAN1 | Valid |

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. |
