3.3.1
Setting up a Wireless Connection
The MediaAccess Gateway access point
Your MediaAccess Gateway is equipped with a wireless access point that supports the following standards:
IEEE 802.11n
IEEE 802.11g
IEEE 802.11b
Requirements
Your network device must be equipped with a WiFi-certified wireless client.
Connection speed
When setting up your wireless network, keep in mind that the following factors may have a negative impact on your wireless
connection speed:
The obstacles (walls, ceilings,...) between the wireless client and the access point.
Distance between the wireless client and the access point.
To fully benefit from the improved connection speed offered by the IEEE 802.11n standard, it is recommended to only
connect IEEE 802.11
n
wireless clients to your MediaAccess Gateway. Connecting older (for example, IEEE 802.11g)
wireless clients may also slow down connection speed of the IEEE 802.11n capable clients.
If you have problems with your wireless performance, see
“Poor Wireless Connectivity or Range” on page 113
.
To set up a wireless connections

3.3.2
Setting up a Wired Connection
Requirements
Both your network device (for example, a computer, a gaming console,...) and MediaAccess Gateway must have a free
Ethernet port.
Your network device must be configured to obtain an IP address automatically. This is the default setting.
Connection speed
All Ethernet ports on the MediaAccess Gateway are Gigabit Ethernet ports and have a maximum speed of 1 Gbps (Gigabit
per second).
Ethernet cable
In your package, you will find a cable with yellow connectors. This is the Ethernet cable.
When using other cables than the ones provided in your box, make sure to use the correct type of cable:
Category 5 Enhanced (CAT5E) cables help to prevent cross-talk and are used for 10/100Mb/1000Mb(Gigabit Ethernet)
Category 6 (CAT6) cables are similar to Cat 5E cables but have larger gauge wires and are used for 10/100/1000Mb
(Gigabit Ethernet). This cable is better than CAT5E for Gigabit Ethernet.
Procedure
Proceed as follows:
1
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to one of the
yellow
Ethernet ports of your MediaAccess Gateway:
2
Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to your network device.
3
Your network device is now connected to your network. No additional configuration is needed unless specified by your
service provider.
You can not use the red
WAN
port to connect to the local Ethernet network. The
WAN
port can only be used to
connect your MediaAccess Gateway to your broadband source.
For more information, see
“1.2 User Scenarios” on page 5
.
The MediaAccess Gateway does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE). All network devices that are connected
to the MediaAccess Gateway must be powered by their own power source.

Configure the MediaAccess Gateway
Introduction
If your service provider did not preconfigure your MediaAccess Gateway, you may have to configure the MediaAccess
Gateway via its Graphical User Interface (GUI).
Requirements
JavaScript must be enabled on your web browser (this is the default setting). For more information, consult the help of your
web browser.
Procedure
Proceed as follows:
1
Open your web browser.
2
The MediaAccess Gateway informs you that you have not yet configured your MediaAccess Gateway.
If this window does not appear, browse to http://dsldevice.lan
or to the IP address of your MediaAccess Gateway (by
default: 192.168.1.254
) and click
MediaAccess Gateway
on the menu on the left-hand side.
3
Click
Setup my MediaAccess Gateway
.
4
The
Easy Setup
wizard appears. This wizard will guide you through the configuration of your MediaAccess Gateway.
Click
Next
and follow the instructions.

Setting Up the 3G Fall-Back WAN Connection
Introduction
Many SOHO (Small Offices, Home Offices) and SME (Small/Medium Enterprises) businesses choose DSL as their access
technology for a Wide Area Network (WAN) connection because this is typically cheaper than using leased lines. A dropout
of a DSL line can however have expensive consequences due to inaccessibility of the Internet and E-mail. Therefore backup
solutions are available that provide an alternative path when the DSL line is down.
For example it is possible to switch to 2G / 3G mobile access technologies such as GPRS, UMTS, HSDPA, HSUPA,
HSPA+, WIMAX and LTE when internet connectivity is not available via the main WAN connection. By plugging a mobile
USB adapter into one of the USB ports of your MediaAccess Gateway, IP connectivity via a 2G / 3G network becomes
possible.
3G is an umbrella-term to indicate the third generation mobile telephony technology. The services associated with 3G
provide the ability to transfer both voice data and non-voice data. 3G networks are the successors of the 2G networks, such
as the GSM networks and provide new services and higher data transfer speeds.
What do I need?
To start using 2G / 3G as a connection on the MediaAccess Gateway, you need:
A mobile USB adapter
A registered Security Identity Module (SIM) card.
Configure 2G / 3G as WAN connection
Proceed as follows:
1
Configure your mobile connection.
For more information, see
“3.5.1 Managing your Mobile Connection with the MediaAccess Gateway GUI” on page 33
.
2
Insert your mobile USB adapter.
For more information, see
“3.5.2 Inserting a Mobile USB Adapter” on page 34
.
3
Now your mobile connection is up and ready to use.
Result
MediaAccess Gateway will automatically enable your 3G backup connection when
both
of the following conditions are met:
The main Internet connection has been unavailable for at least 60 seconds.
The MediaAccess Gateway received a request to access the Internet (for example, when browsing to an Internet web
site).
The MediaAccess Gateway will automatically disable the 3G connection in
either
of the following cases:
The main Internet connection is available again. In this case the MediaAccess Gateway switches back to the main Internet
connection.
No Internet traffic has been detected during the last 10 seconds. For example, you finished surfing the Internet.
Only use the mobile USB adapters provided by your service provider.
If you need to remove your mobile USB adapter, make sure the MediaAccess Gateway is powered off first.
