Making Configuration Changes
Configurable parameters have a dialog box or a drop-down list. Once
a configuration change has been made on a page, most times you will
need to click the “SAVE SETTINGS” or “NEXT” button at the bottom
of the page to enable the new setting. Some options may also have an
“ADD” button also.
Note:
To ensure proper screen refresh after a command entry, be sure
that Internet Explorer 5.0 and above is configured as follows: Under
the menu Tools/Internet Options/General/Temporary Internet Files/
Settings, the setting for “Check for newer versions of stored pages”
should be “Every visit to the page.”
Setup Wizard
After successfully logging into the Modem, you will be prompted with
the following screen.
You can quickly select your country, add in your
username and password for your ISP into the Modem.
Once you have
added all details correctly, click “Save Settings”.
The status section shows:
Line Status – detects if the telephone line has correct line sync
Line Mode – This shows the current line mode, (G.DMT is common for
ADSL and ADSL2/ADSL2+)
Connected/NO Connection – Shows current Internet connection status
WAN IP – This is the IP Address that the ISP has assigned to the
Modem.
Advanced Setup
Clicking the Home icon
returns you to the home
page. The Main Menu links
are used to navigate to
other menus that display
configuration parameters
and statistics.
The Modem’s advanced
management interface
contains 14 main menu
items as described in the
following table.

Status
Provides WAN connection type and status,
firmware and hardware version numbers, system
IP settings, as well as DHCP, NAT, and firewall
information.
System Settings
Time Settings
Set the time zone and time
server for the Modem.
This information is used
for log entries and client
access control.
Check “Enable Automatic
Time Server Maintenance”
to automatically maintain
the Modem’s system time
by synchronizing with a
public time server over the
Internet. Then configure
two different time servers by selecting the options in the Primary
Server and Secondary Server fields.
Password Settings
Use this page to restrict
access based on a
password. By default, the
password is “admin”.
Passwords can contain
from 3 to12 alphanumeric
characters which are case
sensitive.
Note: If your password
is lost, or you cannot
gain access to the user
interface, press the reset
button on the rear panel
(holding it down for at
least 10 seconds) to restore the factory defaults. (By default the
password is “admin” password.)
Enter a maximum Idle Time Out (in minutes) to define a maximum
period of time an inactive login session will be maintained. If the
connection is inactive for longer than the maximum idle time, it will be
logged out, and you will have to login to the web management system
again. (Default: 10 minutes)

Remote Management
By default, management
access is only available
to users on your local
network. However, you can
also manage the Modem
from a remote host by
checking the Enabled
check box, and if you
wish you can set a HOST
ADDRESS, which will only
allow that computer to use
remote management. The
port field should be left as
the default setting of 8080
unless you need to change it. After any changes are made you must
click on “Save Settings” to apply them.
Note: If you check “Enabled” and specify an IP address of 0.0.0.0, any
host can manage the Modem.
For remote management via WAN IP address you need to connect
using port 8080. Simply enter WAN IP address followed by :8080 in the
address field of your web browser, for example, 123.123.123.123:8080.
This applies unless you change the port setting, in which case you
need to substitute the 8080 for whatever port you assign.
DNS
Domain Name Servers are
used to map a domain
name (e.g., www.somesite.
com) to the equivalent
numerical IP address
(e.g., 64.147.25.20). Your
ISP should provide the IP
address of one or more
Domain Name Servers.
If your ISP requires you
to manually specify the
addresses, enter them on
this page.
WAN
Specify the WAN (Wide Area Network) connection parameters provided
by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
ATM PVC
The Modem uses
ATM (Asynchronous
Transfer Mode) as its
WAN interface. Click on
each ATM VC for WAN
configuration.
See the table below
for a description of the
parameters.
Parameter

Description
Click on the VC to set the values for the
connection.
VPI/VCI
Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Circuit
Identifier (VCI).
Encapsulation
Specifies how to handle multiple protocols at the
ATM transport layer.
VC-MUX - Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM Virtual
Circuit Multiplexer (null encapsulation) allows only
one protocol running per virtual circuit with less
overhead.
LLC - Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM Logical
Link Control (LLC) allows multiple protocols
running over one virtual circuit (using slightly more
overhead).

ATM Interface
Clicking on the ATM VC
brings up the following
screen. The
Modem
uses ATM as its WAN
interface. Protocols
including 1483 Routing,
1483 Bridging, MAC
Encapsulated Routing
(MER), PPPoA and PPPoE
with LLC-SNAP and VC-
Mux encapsulations are
supported for each ATM
PVC.
When you have finished
entering your connection parameters, click “SAVE SETINGS”. You
can verify that you have established an ADSL connection by clicking
Status at the bottom of the left-hand menu.
See the table for a description of the parameters.
Parameter
Description
Protocol
Disable: Disables the connection.
1483 Bridging: Bridging is a standardized layer
2 technology. It is typically used in corporate
networks to extend the physical reach of a single
LAN segment and increase the number of stations
on a LAN without compromising performance.
Bridged data is encapsulated using the RFC1483
protocol to enable data transport.
PPPoA: Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM is a
method of encapsulating data for transmission to
a far point.
1483 Routing: 1483 Routing allows a simple, low-
cost connection to the Internet via a standard
Ethernet port. The Modem looks up the network
address for each packet seen on the LAN port. If
the address is listed in the routing table as local, it
is filtered. If the address is listed under the ADSL
port, it is forwarded. Or if the address is not found,
then it is automatically forwarded to the default
Modem (i.e., the
Modem at the head end).
PPPoE: Point-to-Point over Ethernet is a common
connection method used for xDSL.
MAC Encapsulated Routing: If your ADSL service
is a Bridged mode service and you want to share
the connection to multiple PC’s, please select
MAC Encapsulated Routing. MER is a protocol
that allows you do IP routing with NAT enabled.
VPI/VCI
See Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Circuit
Identifier (VCI). Data flows are broken up into fixed
length cells, each of which contains a Virtual Path
Identifier (VPI) that identifies the path between two
nodes, and a Virtual Circuit Identifier (VCI) that
identifies the data channel within that virtual path.
Each virtual circuit maintains a constant flow of
cells between the two end points. When there is
no data to transmit, empty cells are sent. When
data needs to be transmitted, it is immediately
inserted into the cell flows.

Packet encapsulation specifies how to handle
multiple protocols at the ATM transport layer.
VC-MUX: Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM Virtual

overhead.
LLC: Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM Logical
Link Control allows multiple protocols running over
one virtual circuit (using slightly more overhead).

PCR/SCR/MBS
QoS Parameters - PCR (Peak Cell Rate), SCR
(Sustainable Cell Rate) and MBS (Maximum Burst
Size) are configurable.
IP Address
If your IP address is assigned by the ISP each time
you connect, leave this field all zeros. Otherwise,
enter your ISP supplied static IP address here.
Subnet Mask
If your subnet mask is assigned by the ISP
each time you connect, leave this field all zeros.
Otherwise, enter your subnet mask here.
Connect Type
Sets connection mode to always connected,
automatic or manual connection.
Idle Time Enter the maximum idle time for the
Internet connection. (minutes) After this time has
been exceeded the connection will be terminated.

MTU
Leave the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU)
at the default value (1500) unless you have a
particular reason to change it.
Clone MAC Address
Clicking on the Clone
MAC Address brings up
the following screen.
Some ISPs may require
that you register your
MAC address with them. If
this is the case, the MAC
address of the Modem
must be changed manually
to the MAC address that
you have registered with
your ISP.
Most ISP’s in
Australia and New Zealand
do not require this option.
LAN
Use the LAN (Local
Area Network) menu to
configure the LAN IP
address and to enable the
DHCP server for dynamic
client address allocation.
