To upload and download configuration files and firmware for your iConnect625W router

using

Update Gateway

, follow the steps below.

Step 1

:

From the

Tools

tab, click the

Update Gateway

link provided. The following

page appears:

Step 2:

Upload Firmware:

click the

Browse

button and select the location of the

firmware file to be uploaded, e.g.

'C:\Program Files\firmware v1.1'.

The file size should not exceed 3.5MB as specified on the Update Gateway

screen.

Step 3:

Click the

Update Gateway

button. The status of the uploading appears at the

bottom of the page. When the upload is completed, the iConnect625W router

reboots and you are prompted to log in again.

Ping Test

Once the iConnect625W router has been configured, it is a good idea to make sure that

you can ping the network. If you can ping an IP on the WAN side successfully, you should

be able to surf the Internet.

To perform a

Ping Test

, follow the steps below.

Step 1

:

From the

Tools

tab, click the

Ping Test

link provided. The following page

appears:

Step 2:

Change or leave the default settings of the following fields:

±

Enter the IP Address to Ping

field where default setting is

192.168.1.254.

This is the WAN-side IP address that you want to ping;

±

Packet Size

field where the default settings is

32

bytes. You can define the

packet size of the ping test;

±

Number of Echo Requests

field where the default settings is

3.

You can

define how many times the IP address will be pinged.

Step 3:

Click the

Test

button. The ping results are displayed in the box shown on the

page. If the ping test was successful, it means that the TCP/IP protocol is up

and running. If the ping test failed, you should restart the iConnect625W router.

Modem Test

The Modem Test feature is used to check the connectivity to the WAN. There are four

test types: F4 End, F4 Seg, F5 End, F5 Seg. Each of these types may take a few

seconds to complete. In order for the test to work, at least one WAN connection must be

configured and a valid DSL link is available. If the DSL link is not connected, the test will

fail.

The OAM (operation, administration and maintenance) loopback cells (F4/F5) are used to

verify the connection between the iConnect625W and the ATM network.

For the

iConnect625W, OAM loopback provides a valuable tool for diagnosing problems with the

DSL line. The two main purposes of the F4/F5 cells are:

±

Fault Management (detection and notification);

±

Loopback testing and link integrity

The ATM OAM is divided into several levels:

±

F4: VP Level

o

OAM information flows between network elements (NEs) used within

virtual paths to report an unavailable path or virtual path (VP) that cannot

be guaranteed. Segment flows are processed, as well as end-to-end

flows that terminate in the management processor.

±

F5: VC Level

o

OAM information flows between network elements (NEs) used within

virtual connections to report degraded virtual channel (VC) performance

such as late arriving cells, lost cells and cell insertion problems.

Segment flows are processed, as well as end-to-end flows that terminate

in the management processor.

Both F4 and F5 flows can be configured as one of the test types:

±

Segment

o

This test verifies that ATM continuity exists between the virtual channel

link segments from the iConnect625W router to the DSL provider

network (typically this is a DSLAM at the DSL provider site). DSLAM

stands for

Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer.

±

End-to-End

o

This test verifies ATM continuity exists of the virtual channel link with the

ATM endpoint, such as a remote broadband access router located at the

DSL provider or ISP site.

Before you attempt any of these modem tests, ensure the following:

±

Your DSL Provider / ISP supports them;

±

You have a valid DSL link.

To perform a modem test, follow the steps below.
