LANCOM 1800VAW Next-Level Networking Gateway

Product Information

The LANCOM 1800VAW is a networking device that provides various connectivity options and features. It includes Wi-Fi antenna connectors, a power supply connection socket, a reset button, a USB-C configuration interface, WAN interfaces (SFP/TP combo port), ethernet interfaces, a USB interface, and a VDSL/ADSL interface. The device is designed for IP-based connections and can be used for connecting to the internet, setting up local area networks, and connecting peripheral devices such as printers or USB data mediums.

Hardware Quick Reference

Wi-Fi antenna connectors: Screw the supplied Wi-Fi antennas to the appropriate connectors.
Power supply connection socket: Use only the supplied power adapter!
Reset button: Short press > device restart, Long press > device reset
USB-C configuration interface: A USB-C cable is required to configure the device (cable not supplied)
WAN interfaces (SFP/TP combo port): Insert a suitable LANCOM SFP module into the SFP port. Choose a compatible cable and connect it as described in the SFP module’s mounting instructions.
Alternatively, connect the WAN TP interface to a WAN modem using an Ethernet cable.
Ethernet interfaces: Use the cable with the Kiwi-colored connectors to connect one of the interfaces ETH 1 to ETH 4 to your PC or a LAN switch.
USB interface: Connect a USB data medium or a USB printer to the USB interface (cable not supplied).
VDSL/ADSL interface: Connect the VDSL interface and the TAE socket of the provider using the enclosed DSL cable for the IP-based connection.

Product Usage Instructions

Before using the LANCOM 1800VAW, please follow these instructions:

Ensure you have read and understood the information regarding the intended use in the enclosed installation guide.
Operate the device only with a professionally installed power supply at a nearby power socket that is freely accessible at all times.
The power plug of the device must be freely accessible.

Power: 2x blue, inverse blinking – Connection to LMC active, pairing OK, device not claimed
Power: 3x blue, inverse blinking – Pairing error or LMC activation code/PSK not present
Power: LMC not reachable or communication error
Online: Blue, blinking – WAN connection not active
Online: Blue, inverse blinking – WAN connection in progress (e.g., PPP negotiation)
Online: Blue, permanently on – WAN connection active
WAN: Blue, permanently off – No link available/interface switched off
WAN: Blue, flickering – Link available, no data transmission
WAN: Blue, permanently on – Data Transmission
SFP: Blue, permanently off – No link available/interface switched off
SFP: Blue, flickering – Link available, no data transmission
SFP: Blue, permanently on – Data Transmission
DSL: Blue, blinking/fast blinking – Interface switched off
DSL: Blue, permanently on – DSL Handshake/DSL Training/DSL Sync
ETH1-ETH4: Blue, permanently off – No link available/interface switched off
ETH1-ETH4: Blue, blinking – Link available, no data transmission
ETH1-ETH4: Blue, permanently on – Data Transmission
