Overview
The Device is a VDSL2 router and Ethernet gateway with a four-port built-in
Ethernet switch and IEEE 802.11n wireless. The Device allows wired and
wireless clients to safely access the Internet. The built-in firewall blocks
unauthorized access to your network. The USB port allows you to connect USB
memory stick or USB hard drive for storing or
sharing files through the network. Other helpful features include Quality of
Service (QoS) which allows time-sensitive services and applications to flow
more smoothly.
Requirements
Make sure you have the following things before you start.
- Internet access – account information provided by your ISP, such as user name, password, and so on.
- 3G account – if you want to access the Internet through a 3G network. The Device uses this 3G connection as your WAN or a backup when the DSL connection fails.
- Internet Explorer 6.0 and later versions, with JavaScript, enabled, or Mozilla Firefox 3 and later versions, or Safari 2.0 and later versions.
Hardware Setup
To connect your Device:
-
Use a telephone cable to connect your Device’s DSL port to a telephone jack (or the DSL or modem jack on a splitter if you have one).
-
LAN: Use an Ethernet cable to connect a computer to a LAN port for initial configuration and/or Internet access.
-
USB: There is one USB port on your Device. You can do the following:
a. Connect a USB (version 2.0 or lower) memory stick or a USB hard drive for file sharing. The Device automatically detects the USB device. Alternatively, use a USB cable (not provided) to connect a USB (version 2.0 or lower) printer to this port.
b. Insert a 3G adapter to access the Internet wirelessly via a 3G network. The Device uses this 3G WAN connection as a backup when the DSL connection fails. -
POWER: Use the provided power adaptor to connect the POWER socket to an appropriate power source. Make sure the power at the outlet is on. After connecting the power adaptor, look at the lights on the front panel.
• The POWER light blinks while your Device starts up and then stays on once it is ready.
• Each LAN light stays on if the corresponding LAN port is properly connected and blinks when there is traffic.
• The USB light turns on when there is a USB device (printer or memory stick) or a 3G adapter connected to the Device and blinks when transmitting data.
• The DSL WAN light turns on when your Device has a DSL connection.
• The WLAN / WPS light flashes green and orange while WPS is in process. It stays on green when the wireless LAN is ready and blinks when there is traffic.
• The INTERNET light turns on when the gateway is able to access the Internet and will blink when your Device is sending or receiving data.
If the lights do not come on, check your connections and inspect your cables
for damage. If the lights are still off, contact technical support.
If the WAN light is on but the INTERNET light is off, see the Tutorials and
Broadband chapters in your User’s Guide for how to use the Network Selling >
Broadband screen to set up the WAN connection.
If you want to have the Device use 3G as your WAN or as a backup when the
Ethernet WAN connection fails, see your User’s Guide for how to use the
Network Setting > Broadband > 3G Backup screen to set up the 3G WAN
connection.
Set Up a Wireless Network
You can set up a wireless network using the following methods:
Using Wireless Protected Setup (WPS)
Press the WPS button on the Device’s back panel for more than 5 seconds to
turn the WPS function on.
Follow these steps to add a WPS-enabled device to the wireless network using
the WPS/WLAN button.
- Place the devices you want to connect near one another.
- Press the WPS button on the Device. The WPS light blinks green and orange
- Press the WPS button on a compatible device within 2 minutes of pressing the button on the Device. The WPS light on the Device shines steadily when connected.
Set Up a Wireless Network Manually
The wireless LAN on your Device is enabled by default. To add a wireless
client to the network, use the settings found on the bottom panel of your
Device.
Configure wireless devices that you want to connect to the wireless network to
use the same wireless settings as the Device.
The default wireless settings vary for each Device. Refer to the bottom panel
of your device and use the provided information.
Log into the Web Configurator
Your device may already be set up for Internet access. However, you may want
or need to log on to the Device Web Configurator to perform tasks:
• Configure your Internet access settings manually
• Customize the Quality of Service (QoS) and routing features
• Create firewall and web filter rules
• Edit remote management, as well as other features
