Click Apply/Save.

NOTE

Enabling QoS for routed IPTV service configurations will improve channel change

performance.

NOTE

802.1P (priority) and 802.1Q (VLAN tag) values will be set at the time of WAN Service

creation as detailed in, “

Creating the WAN Service

.”

Configuring the Layer 2 Interface (VDSL/PTM with VLAN Tags)

In some applications it may be necessary to segment the PTM WAN interface into separate VLANs.

A common application for a VLAN segmented WAN interface is bridged IPTV as detailed in the

“

Bridged IPTV Configuration

”

section.

To configure the layer 2 PTM interface to support VLAN

tagged traffic select “VLAN MUX Mode” for “Connection Mode” in step 4 of the “

Configuring the

Layer 2 Interface (VDSL/PTM)

” section.

Creating the WAN Service

WAN Services are created on top of previously created Layer 2 interfaces. To create a WAN service:

1.

Select

Advanced Setup -> WAN Service

and click Add.

2.

Select a previously created layer 2 interface from the drop down list and click Next.

3.

Select the

“

WAN Service type

”

–

“

PPP over Ethernet

”

or

“

IP over Ethernet

”

are appropriate

choices for routed WAN services. Bridged WAN services will be covered later in the

“

Bridged

IPTV Configuration

”

section.

Figure 14 WAN Service Configuration (With or Without VLAN Tagging Support)

NOTE

If VLAN tagging support is desired, set the 802.1p and 802.1q values appropriately.

802.1P: 0 is lowest priority, 7 is highest priority, -1 is unused

802.1Q: -1 indicates no VLAN tagging

NOTE

The SR-350N/NE and SR-500N/NE gateways support mixed VLAN tagged/untagged

traffic on the same WAN interface. Set the untagged WAN connection’s VLAN ID to

-1.

Use Case: Setting

Up Wireless Distribution System (WDS)

When deployed in a larger home or office, a single wireless access point may not be

able to provide adequate Wi-Fi coverage. Wireless Distribution Systems (WDS)

provides a solution for this problem. WDS combines multiple gateways to act as a

single larger wireless access point allowing Wi-Fi clients to seamlessly roam all

access points plus provides wired access to the entire network.

Two or more SmartRG gateways can be configured for WDS operation. The example

below depicts a WDS deployment with three SmartRG gateways in a large home or

office

–

one primary gateway in the center of the building and one remote gateway

at either end of the building.

Figure 23 Wireless Distribution System

Configuring the SmartRG gateways for WDS operation requires the setting of WAN,

LAN and WIRELESS parameters on all gateways included in the WDS system.

To configure the WAN connections

…

1.

On the primary SmartRG gateway: configure the routed WAN connection

following the instructions in the “

Use Case: Creating WAN Connections for

Internet Access and Remote Management

” se

ction.

2.

On the remote SmartRG gateway(s): no WAN configuration is required as the

WAN connection is unused.

To configure the LAN interfaces

…

3.

On the primary SmartRG gateway:

a)

configure the LAN interface following the instructions in the “

Use Case:

Setting Up the LAN

” section.

b)

ensure the DHCP Server is ENABLED and set the End IP Address such that

enough LAN IP addresses are left for static allocation to the remote

gateway(s) included in the WDS system.

4.

On the remote SmartRG gateway(s):

a)

configure the LAN interface following the instructions in the “

Use Case:

Setting Up the LAN

” section.

b)

ensure the LAN IPaddress(es) are assigned from the remaining IP addresses
