8 Setting up your Modem

This section guides you through configuring your Modem. The Modem is shipped with a
standard default bridge configuration. Most users would want to change the Modem from
a bridge to a router.
You should have your computers configured for DHCP mode and have proxies disabled
on your browser. If you access the router using your web browser and see a login
redirection page instead of the Log In page, check your browser’s settings to verify that
JavaScript is enabled..

8.1 Log in to your Modem

Use the following procedures to log in to your Modem.

1. Open your web browser
You may get an error message. This is normal. Continue on to the next step.
2. Type the default IP address of the Modem 192.168.1.1 and press Enter.
The Log In page appears as in Figure 7

Figure 7: Log in Page

3. Enter the following information:

14
 User Name: admin
Password: admin

Note: Both fields are case-sensitive. The modem is supplied with default user name and
password of admin and admin. The login name and password can be changed later on
using the Tools/User Management menu options

4. Click Log In. The main page appears.

8.2 Home Page

From the home page you can perform the following tasks:

• Setup the Modem (configure the LAN and WAN connections)

• Configure the advanced options within the Modem (security, routing, and
filtering)
• Access tools those are helpful for debugging purposes
• Obtain the status of the Modem
• View the extensive online help

Figure 8: Home Page

15
The basic layout of the Home page consists of a page selection list across the top of the
browser window. The lower center part of the page displays the Modem status,
connection information, and other useful information. The center part of the display
provides descriptions of the options supported on the other web interface pages.

9 Setup
The Setup tab allows you to perform basic interface configuration functions.
This chapter discusses:

• “Main Setup Page”

• “Configuring the WAN”
• “Set up a WAN Connection”
• “LAN Setup”
• “Hidden Page”
• “Log Out Page

9.1 Main Setup Page

To set up your Modem with a basic configuration, select Setup from the Home page.
Figure 9 shows the main Setup page. The page is divided into two subsections:
WAN setup and LAN setup.
Figure 9: Main Setup Page

16
Before configuring the Modem, you should be familiar with several concepts to better
understand how your new Modem works. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself
with the following concepts to make the configuration easier:

• WAN (Wide Area Network)

• LAN (Local Area Network)

Wide Area Network Connection

The WAN connection type and parameters are different for every service provider. Most
of the configuration, which you need to perform, is for the WAN connection.

9.2 Local Area Network Connection

Local hosts (computers) are connected with the LAN interface. The Modem is normally
configured to automatically provide IP addresses to all the hosts on the LAN network

9.3 Configuring the WAN

For Modem transfers any data between the LAN interfaces and the WAN interface properly, the WAN side
of the Modem must be configured.

Configure WAN connection with the following configurations:

• DSL line Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI)
• DSL encapsulation type and multiplexing
• DSL training mode (default is Multimode)

Since multiple users can use the Modem, the Modem can simultaneously support
multiple WAN connection types (DSL encapsulation methods); hence, you must set up
different profiles for each connection. The Modem supports the following encapsulation
types or protocols, which is also called as WAN Connection Type
• PPPoE (RFC 2516)
• Bridged
You can create up to eight WAN connections (Virtual connection). At least one WAN
connection is required to connect Internet.

9.4 Setting up a WAN Connection

A new WAN connection is a “virtual” connection over the physical DSL connection.
Your Modem can support up to eight unique virtual connections. If you have multiple
unique virtual connections, you may need to use the static and dynamic routing
capabilities of the Modem to pass data correctly. Before you make a new WAN
connection, you should make sure you have a DSL connection. There should be a green
light on the Modem ADSL LED.

17
9.4.1 PPPoE Connection Setup
PPP (point-to-point protocol) is a method of establishing a network connection/session
between network hosts.

Figure 10 shows defaults PPPoE Connection Setup page. This page can be logically
divided into three sections as shown in the figure below.
Figure 10: New Connection Setup - PPPoE

1. At the Setup main page, click New Connection. The default PPPoE Connection
Setup page (Figure 10) is displayed.
2. In the Name field, enter a unique name for the PPPoE connection. The name must
not have spaces and cannot begin with numbers. [For example, the unique name is
triband1
3. The Network Address Translation (NAT) and the Firewall options are enabled
by default. Leave these in the default mode.

Note: NAT enables the IP address on the LAN side to be translated to IP address on
the WAN side. If NAT is disabled, you cannot access the Internet.
4. In the PPP Settings section, enter the values as explained below.

Username: your ISP provides your user name for the PPPoE access. This field is alphanumeric
and the maximum length is 64-characters. It cannot start with a number.

Password: your DSL service provider or your ISP provides your password for the PPPoE access.
This field is alphanumeric and the maximum length is limited to 128 characters.

Idle Timeout: Specifies that PPPoE connection should disconnect if the link has no activity
detected for n seconds. This field is used in conjunction with the On-Demand feature and is

18
enabled only when the On Demand field is enabled. To ensure that the link is always active,
enter a 0 in this field. You can also enter a value larger than 10 (unit is in seconds).

Keep Alive: When the On Demand option is not enabled, this field specifies the time to wait
without being connected to your provider before terminating the connection. To ensure that the
link is always active, enter a 0 in this field. You can also enter any positive integer value in this
field.

Authentication - Three authentication options are available:

• Auto
• Challenge handshake authentication protocol (CHAP)
• Password authentication protocol (PAP)

Note: Microsoft CHAP v2 is also supported in the Auto and CHAP options, but MS
CHAP v1 is not supported.

MTU: Maximum transmit unit the DSL connection can transmit. This value will be used to
negotiate the number of bytes in a packet, which can be sent on the modem line. The PPPoE
interface’s default MTU is 1500 (max).
The connection closes if no activity is detected after the specified idle timeout value.
When “Idle Timeout” field checked, the following fields will be enabled

• Idle Timeout
• Host Trigger
• Valid Rx

Default Gateway: If checked, this WAN connection acts as the default Modem to the Internet.

Enforce MTU: This feature is enabled by default. It forces all TCP traffic to conform with PPP
MTU by changing TCP maximum segment size to PPP MTU. If it is disabled, you may have
issues accessing some Internet sites.

Debug: Enables PPPoE connection debugging facilities. ISP technical support and ODM/OEM
testers will use this option to simulate packets going through the network from the WAN side.

PPP Unnumbered: PPP Unnumbered is a special feature. It enables the ISP to designate a block
of public IP addresses to the customer where it is statically assigned on the LAN side. PPP
Unnumbered is, in essence, like a bridged connection.

5.. In the PVC Settings section, enter values for the VPI and VCI.

Note: Your DSL service provider or your ISP supplies these values. In the below
example shown, the DSL service provider is using 0,32.

19
6.Select the Quality of Service (QoS). Leave the default value if you are unsure or if
the ISP did not provide this information.

7.Click Apply to complete the connection setup. This temporarily activates this

LAN Configuration

The Modem provides LAN configuration for multiple LAN bridge groups. Up to five
LAN bridge groups are supported. The LAN interfaces could include: Ethernet or USB.
It is possible to assign any LAN interface (Except Ethernet Interface) to any one of
bridge groups. The Ethernet interface needs to be in LAN group 1. Each LAN group can
then be configured with static IP address, dynamic IP address, or be unmanaged (no IP)
Figure 17: LAN Group Configuration (Default)

Figure 25 shows the default LAN Configuration page. The following LAN interfaces
belong to a single LAN bridge group (LAN Group 1):
o USB
o Ethernet

Figure 20: LAN Group 2 Configuration

LAN Group Configuration Field Descriptions:

Unmanaged: A state where the LAN group is not configured and no IP address has been
assigned to the bridge.

Obtain an IP address automatically: This function enables your RG to act like a client and
requests an IP address from the DHCP server on the LAN side.

IP Address: You can retrieve/renew an IP address from the DHCP server using the Release and
Renew buttons. Netmask is the subnet mask of your RG.

PPP IP Address: Enables/disables PPP unnumbered feature. The IP address should be in the
same subnet as the WAN-side IP address.

Use the following Static IP address:

This field enables you to change the IP address of the RG.

IP Address: The default IP address of the RG (as shown) is 192.168.1.1.

Netmask: The default subnet mask of your RG is 255.255.255.0.

This subnet allows the RG to support 254 users. If you want to support a larger number of users you can
change the subnet mask.

34
Default Gateway: The default gateway is the routing device used to forward all traffic that is not
addressed to a station within the local subnet. Your ISP provides you with the IP address of the
default gateway.

Host Name: The host name is used in conjunction with the domain name to uniquely identify the
RG. It can be any alphanumeric word that does not contain spaces.

Domain: The domain name is used in conjunction with the host name to uniquely identify the
RG. To access the web pages of the RG you can type 192.168.1.1 (The IP address) or
mygateway1.ar7 (Host Name.Domain).

Enable DHCP Server: Enables/disables DHCP. By default, your RG has the DHCP server
(LAN side) enabled. If you already have a DHCP server running on your network, you must
disable one of the two DHCP servers. Assign ISP DNS, SNTP Enable/disables the Assign ISP
DNS, SNTP feature when the DHCP server of your RG has been enabled.

Start IP: The Start IP Address is where the DHCP server starts issuing IP addresses. This value
must be greater than the IP address value of the RG. For example, if the IP address of the RG is
192.168.1.1 (default), and then the starting IP address must be 192.168.1.2 (or higher).

Note: If you change the start or end values, make sure the values are still within the
same subnet as the RG.

End IP: The End IP Address is where the DHCP server stops issuing IP addresses. The ending
address cannot exceed a subnet limit of 254, hence the max value for the default gateway is
192.168.1.254. If the DHCP server runs out of DHCP addresses, users do not get access to
network resources. If this happens, you can increase the Ending IP address (to the limit of 254) or
reduce the lease time.

Note: If you change the start or end values, make sure the values are still within the
same subnet as the IP address of the RG.

Lease Time: The Lease Time is the amount of time that a network user is allowed to maintain a
network connection to the RG using the current dynamic IP address. At the end of the Lease
Time, the lease is either renewed or the DHCP server issues a new IP address. The amount of
time is in units of seconds. The default value is 3600 seconds (1 hour). The maximum value is
999999 seconds (about 278 hours).

Enable DHCP Relay: DHCP Relay In addition to the DHCP server feature, the RG supports
the DHCP relay function. When the RG is configured as DHCP server, it assigns the IP addresses
to the LAN clients. If RG is configured as DHCP relay, it is responsible for forwarding the
requests and responses negotiated between the DHCP clients and the server. See Figure 27

Figure 21: Example of a DHCP Relay configuration

When you enable the DHCP server on the LAN side, the RG dynamically assigns IP addresses to
the hosts on the local network. The RG provides its own LAN IP address (192.168.1.1) as both
the gateway and the DNS server as shown in( Figure 27)
On the WAN side, the RG receives the following data (among other data) from the ISP:
• IP: 10.10.10.101
• Gateway: 10.10.10.1
• DNS: 10.10.10.5
The RG has a choice of advertising its own IP address (192.168.1.1) to the LAN side hosts as the
DNS server, or providing the DNS that was received from the WAN side (10.10.10.5). This can
be configured by enabling/ disabling Assign ISP DNS SNTP on the LAN Group Configuration

Note: This section only applies when you have enabled DHCP server on the LAN
Group Configuration page (Figure31 on page 2-41).
Figure 22: External DHCP Options

The default option (feature disabled) As shown in Figure 27, when Assign ISP DSN SNTP is
disabled, the hosts on the LAN network use the LAN IP address of the RG as the DNS. The
DHCP server provides the following data to the host.
• IP: 192.168.1.x

36
• Gateway: 192.168.1.1
• DNS: 192.168.1.1
The external DHCP option (feature enabled)
As shown in Figure 27, when Assign ISP DSN SNTP is enabled, the host on the LAN network
uses the WAN side DNS. The following data is provided to the host:
• IP: 192.168.1.x
• Gateway: 192.168.1.1
• DNS: 10.10.10.5

Note: Logging out or closing the set up/configuration page does not affect the Internet
connection.
11 Caution
Do not use any other power supply unit, other than the PSU supplied with the adsl2+
Modem package.

12 Troubleshooting
Q1: Why can’t my computer access the Internet, even when the physical links are
well connected?
Check first whether the LED’s are in normal status. If they do, then you have to find help
to adjust the settings on the adsl2+ Modem.

Q2: I forget the username and password when I am to log into the Web-based
Configuration Manager. Or I just can’t access the Web-based Configuration
Manager.
1) Please press reset button on the rear panel for 5 seconds to restore factory default
settings of the adsl2+ Modem.
2) Configure Ethernet IP address in machine as explained section 7.0 configuring your
computer.
3) Disable Proxy service.
4) Launch your Web browser and type in http://192.168.1.1
5) Use the default user name: admin and password: admin

Q3: My configuration is gone after I reboot the adsl2+ Modem.

If you want to keep your settings after rebooting the adsl2+ Modem, please go to Web-
based Configuration Manager, enter the Tools>System Setting page, and click Save &
Restart button to save new settings. (Figure 14)

Q: Why can’t I access the Internet by using virtual dialing through Microsoft’s
Internet Gateway?
Internet Gateway supports PPPoE itself. No other PPPoE terminal software shall be
installed again.

Q5: Why does my PC fall off line sometimes even with all LED’s are in normal
status?
The following scenarios may cause this problem.
1) Connection closed by the ISP.
2) Some ISPs will have idle timeout setting to avoid wasting IP. When the end user
connects to the Internet too long without any packet, the ISP will drop the connection.
Please contact with your ISP about this problem.
3) Some ISPs don’t provide a good quality ADSL signal on the line. Therefore, when the
ADSL line is unstable, your connection will be dropped. Contact the ISP on the status of
your ADSL signal line.
4) If you have contacted the ISP and they promised the quality of ADSL line, it may be
the hardware issue and please contact your vendor.

Q6: When can I use the “Restore Factory Default Setting” button?
If you changed some setting unconsciously in the Web Management Interface and you
forgot the detailed values that you modified, please use the “Restore Default” button to
recover the factory default settings (Figure 14).

Q7: How many methods can be used to restore the factory default setting?
Totally two methods:
1. Use the reset button on the rear panel of the device. Press and hold for more than 5
seconds and reboot and this you can see on the LED status.
Select the TOOLS menu and go to System Commands Click on Restore default
