OVERVIEW

The MM701F is a versatile, high speed modem that connects your LAN to one or more service providers. It employs ADSL technology for asymmetric rates up to 7.552 Mbps over single-pair wiring and allows for multiple management options, including an easy to use Web-based interface. In addition, the MM701F supports 32 simultaneousBridge/Router or PPP sessions to the same or different service providers over its ADSL WAN interface. For sizeable deployment, the MM701F provides the ability to download pre-defined configuration files to the flash memory instead of manually defining each and every value for all modems.
The MM701Falsoincludes several usefulprotocols and services.If you require IPaddresses to be served dynamically on your LAN, use the built-in DHCPserver.Ifyouneed to update your modem software, use the built-in TFTP client. If you require private IP addresses and n eed to translate them into public IP addresses, use the built-in NAT function. If you need to exchange IP routing information with another device, configure and implement RIP. For a complete list of features, see Appendix A.
Use this guide to install and configure your MM701F. Before installation, verify your shipping package contents and system requirements as described in the sections listed below.

WHAT TO DO NEXT

After you have installed the modem, determine which method to use to manage the modem:
To manage the modem through the Web interface using your Web browser
(recommended), refer to Chapter 3 “Managing the Modem Using a Web Browser” on
page 9.
To manage the modem through the command-line interfaceusing the modem console port
or by a telnet session, refer to Chapter 4 “Managing the Modem Using the Console Port &
Telnet” on page 41.

MANAGING THE MODEM USING A
WEB BROWSER
You can manage the MM701F using a Web browser, console port, or a telnet session. All of the MM701F features and functionality are accessible through the Web interface. In
contrast, there are some features not supported through the console port. For example, you can enable or disable spanning tree through the Web interface, but not through the console port or telnet. The same principle applies for deleting a WAN session and selecting ATM VBR as a quality of service.
To prevent losing your configuration changes, be sure to save them as described in “Saving
Changes” on page 39.
