This manual contains many example screen illustrations. Since ARRIS® Gateways offer a wide variety of features
and functionality, the example screens shown may not appear exactly the same for your particular Gateway or
setup as they appear in this manual. The example screens are for illustrative and explanatory purposes, and
should not be construed to represent your own unique environment.

Important Safety Instructions
POWER SUPPLY INSTALLATION
Connect the power supply cord to the power jack on the ARRIS
priate electrical outlet. There is no power (on / off) switch to power off the device.
®
Gateway. Plug the power supply into an appro-
CAUTION:
Depending on the power supply provided with the product, either the direct plug-in power supply blades,
power supply cord plug or the appliance coupler serves as the mains power disconnect. It is important that
the direct plug-in power supply, socket-outlet or appliance coupler be located so it is readily accessible.
TELECOMMUNICATION INSTALLATION
When using your telephone equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk
f fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:
o
Do not use this product near water, for example, near a bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a
wet basement or near a swimming pool.
Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk
of electrical shock from lightning.
Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
CAUTION: The external phone should be UL Listed and the connections should be made in accordance with
Article 800 of the NEC.
PRODUCT VENTILATION
The ARRIS® Gateway is intended for use in a business. Ambient temperatures around this product should not
exceed 104 F (40 C). It should not be used in locaƟons exposed to outside heat radiaƟon or trapping of its
own heat. When properly installed the product should have at least one inch of clearance on all sides except
the bottom and should not be placed inside tightly enclosed spaces unless proper ventilation is provided.

During the software installation, you will lose internet and phone service. The LEDs will function as
follows:
1. As firmware is being loaded into flash, the LEDs will operate normally as described.
2. The installation will take a few minutes –
During this phase, the Power LED will flash Orange/Amber during firmware upgrade
(flash writing to memory) and all other LEDs will be off.
3. The Gateway will restart automatically.
As the device reboots, the POWER ON LED behavior will happen.
• Power LED = GREEN/FLASH
• All other LED = OFF
If the device does not boot, and fails its self test or fails to perform initial load of the bootloader:
• Power LED = RED/FLASH
• ALL other LED = OFF
If the device boots and then detects a failure:
Power LED = GREEN/FLASH starting POST and then all LEDs will FLASH RED, including Power LED.

Attaching a Fiber Optic Module
The following procedure details how to attach an SFP SX/LX connector to the NVG595 and attach the fiber
o
ptic cable to the Optic module.
WARNING!
1. Insert the SFP SX/LX fiber optic module into the Fiber port on the rear of the NVG595. Push it in firmly until
it clicks. The label on the module should be facing upward when the module is inserted. Failure to ensure
this could cause damage to the module.
Laser output can cause serious eye damage. The lasers used in this device produce
ight that is invisible to the naked eye. Assume at all times that the fiber optic cables
l
and optical ports are radiating light energy. When connecting or handling the fiber
cables or connectors, it is imperative that no one looks into the tip of the fiber.
2. Remove the rubber protective cap from the end of the SFP SX/LX fiber optic module.
3. Remove the protective plastic caps from the end of the fiber cable and insert the fiber cable into the SFP SX/
LX fiber optic module. Push firmly until the latch on the end of the connector locks over the fiber cable.

Link: Remote Access
The Remote Access page lets you grant access to your NVG595 Gateway to other users on the WAN. This function can be used for advanced troubleshooting or remote configuration.
WARNING
E
If Remote access is not currently enabled, the Remote Access page will let you configure and enable it. If
remote access has been enabled, the Remote Access Page will indicate that, and provides a button to disable
it.
nabling remote access allows anyone who knows or can determine the password, port ID, and URL
(address) of your NVG595 Gateway to view any configuration settings or change the operation of your gateway.
To enable Remote Access:
1. Enter a password. This password must be at least 8 characters long, and must include at least two of the following types of characters:
alphabetic (letter) characters,
numeric (number) characters,
special characters (! @ # $ % ^ & * , etc)
If necessary, set a custom port number for secure HTTP access to the NVG595 remote access session in the
2.
Port Value field.
3. Click the Access Type radio button to select the desired level of access:
Read only access - to allow the remote access session to view, but not change, the configuration and col-
lected statistics of the gateway.
Update access - to allow the session to make changes to the gateway’s configuration.
4. Click Enable Remote Access
The NVG595 updates the Remote Access page and displays the current remote access settings, shows the URL
that a remote access client must use to connect to the remote access session, and provides a button for ending
the remote access session. The remote access client will need to connect to the URL shown on the Remote
Access page, and will need to log in with the username “tech” and the password configured when access was
enabled.
