OVERVIEW
The MM701G is a versatile, high-speed
modem that extends your Ethernet LAN in a
back-to-back implementation or connects your
LAN to one or more service providers. It
employs G.shdsl technology for fixed-rate or
rate-adaptive, symmetric rates up to 2.3 Mbps
over single-pair wiring and allows for multiple
management options, including an easy to use Web-based interface. In addition, the MM701G
supports 32 simultaneous Bridge/Router or PPP sessions to the same or different service
providers over its G.shdsl WAN interface. For sizeable deployment, the MM701G 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 MM701G also includes several useful protocols and services. If you require IP addresses
tobe serveddynamically on your LAN, use the built-in DHCP server. If you need toupdate your
modem software, use the built-in TFTP client. If you require private IP addresses and need 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 MM701G. Before installation, be sure to verify your
shipping package contents and system requirements as described in the sections listed below.

WEB BROWSER
You can manage the MM701G using a Web browser, console port, or a telnet session.
All of the MM701G 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 s ervice.
To prevent losing your configuration changes, be sure to save them as described in “Saving

However, if you have an existing subnet to accommodate the modem, change the IP address of
the modem from the command-line interface as described in“Setting Up the LAN” on page 48.
If your PC cannot connect to the modem, set your PC Ethernet NIC card for 10 Mbps
half-duplex transmission (not auto-detect).

Parameter Description
Session Name Enter a unique, descriptive identifier for the session. This name can have a maximum
of 15 characters with no spaces.
Protocol Select the message format to be used between the MM701G and the service
provider. You can configure each session with any of the three protocols listed
below.
• Select RFC 1483-Bridge if the MM701G forwards packets based on MAC
addresses. You can enable Spanning Tree when you select Bridge sessions. See
“Set Spanning Tree” on page 19.
• Select RFC 1483-Router if the MM701G routes packets based on IP addresses.
• Select PPPoA if the MM701G establishes PPP sessions with the service provider.
If you select RFC 1483 Bridge or RFC 1483 Router protocol, you only need to set up
one session.
You can, however, configure a combination of RFC 1483 Router/Bridge and PPP
protocols for a multiple session configuration.
State Select Enable to activate this session. Select Disable to deactivate this session. You
can set the state for each session. You can also change the state for a session at any
time using this parameter.
IP Address Determine how an IP address is assigned to a session:
• If you selected PPPoA protocol, Dynamic is automatically selected. The service
provider automatically assigns an IP address to this session. The IP address
displays in the box.
• If you selected RFC 1483-Router protocol, you enter the IP address supplied by
the service provider in the box. Do not select Dynamic.
• If you selected RFC 1483-Bridge protocol, you do not enter an IP address and
you do not select Dynamic.
Subnet Mask Determine how the subnet mask is assigned to a session:
• If you selected PPPoA protocol, the service provider automatically assigns a
Subnet Mask. The Subnet Mask displays in the box.
• If you selected RFC 1483-Router protocol, you enter the Subnet Mask supplied
by the service provider in the box.
• If you selected RFC 1483-Bridge protocol, you do not enter a Subnet Mask.
NAT Enable or Disable the use of Network Address Translation (NAT) protocol to
translate private IP addresses (addresses on your LAN) to public IP addresses
assigned to each session (see IP Address above in this table for session IP
addresses).
