How to access Spectrum Analyzer
I've got a Motorola MB8600 and have been having some trouble with my internet connection. I found a few forum posts for this modem and other Motorola modems saying that port 8080 should allow you to ...

The issue is, if cox were to block port 8080, it would be from the outside in through the cable port. They CANNOT block access through your LAN port, as that is INTERNAL to your network. Try bypassing the router and connecting via ethernet direct to the modem and then see if you can access the spectrum analyzer. remember to reboot the modem after connecting a new device to the lan port.
I mean, I downloaded the code for the MB8600 from Motorola Cable's GPL compliance center and it's literally just a Linux appliance. You can set firewall rules any way you want on any network interface the system sees.
If Cox's configuration file includes a rule that blocks traffic originating from localhost:8080 (in this case, the modem) from going over the Ethernet interface, they certainly could block this specific page.
Alls I knows is before I plug into Cox's network, the page loads but doesn't do anything because the page needs to have a CoAX cable plugged in. When I plug into Cox's network, it stops working.
