Subnet IP AddressSets your LANsubnetwork IP address in dotted-decimal format. We recommend not
changing the default 192.168.15.1.
NetmaskSets the RSGu3500 subnet mask, in dotted-decimal format. The default is 255.255.255.0,
which enables the RSGu3500 router to support up 253 users connected through mult iple
hubs, switches, routers, or wireless access points.
Host NameSets the residential gateway host name. It can contain any alphanumeric characters, except
spaces.
DomainSets the domain name. It is used in conjunction wit h the host name to uniquely identify the
residential gateway. To access the web pages of the residential gateway, you can type
192.168.15.1 (the IP address) or mygateway1.Motorola_VT (hostmame.domain).
RSGu3500 Residential Seamless Mobility Gateway User Guide18
Enable DHCP ServerIf selected, the DHCP server on the residential gateway assigns IP addresses to the
computers and other hosts on your network, if they have DHCP enabled (see “Configuring
TCP/IP” on page 47). By default, the residential gateway DHCP server is enabled.
If there is another DHCP server running on your network (on another router), you must
disable one of the DHCP servers.
Start IPSets the first IP address assigned by the DHCP server, in dotted-decimal format. It must be
greater than the IP address value of the residential gateway. For example, if the IP address
of the residential gateway is 192.168.15.1 (default), the starting IP address must be
192.168.15.2 (or higher).
End IPSets the final IP address assigned by the DHCP server, in dotted-decimal format. It cannot
exceed the subnet limit of 254. For example, the default is 192.168.15.254. If the DHCP
server runs out of DHCP addresses, users cannot acc ess network resources. If this happens,
increase the End IP (to the limit of 254) or reduce the Lease Time.
If you change Start IP or End IP, be sure they are in the range specified by the Subnet IP
Address and Netmask. For example, if the residential gateway IP address is 19 2.168.15.1
(the default) and you set Start IP and End IP to 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.100 respectively,
computers with DHCP enabled cannot communicate with the residential gateway.
Lease TimeSets the time, in seconds, that a network computer remains connected to the residential
gateway using its current assigned IP address. At the end of this time, the DHCP server
renews the lease or assigns the computer a new IP address. The default is 3600 seconds (1
hour). The maximum is 999999 seconds (about 278 hours).
Enable DHCP RelayIf selected, the residential gateway forwards re quests and resp onses between the computers
on your network (the DHCP clients) and the DHCP server you chose to use for your network.
Relay IPIf you select Enable DHCP Relay, type the IP address of the DHCP server in dotted-decimal
format.
Server and Relay OffIf selected, you must carefully configure the IP address, Subnet Mask, and DNS settings of
every host on your network. Do not assign the same IP address to more than one host. Your
residential gateway must be on the same subnet as the other hosts.

Multicasting is a form of limited broadcast. UDP is used to send datagrams to all computers in a host group, one or
more hosts identified by the same destination IP address. The following statements apply to host groups:
•Anyone can join or leave a host group.
•There are no restrictions on the host location.
•There are no restrictions on the number of members that may belong to a host group.
•A host may belong to multiple host groups.
•Non-members can send UDP datagrams to the host group.
Multicasting is useful when the same data needs to be sent to more than one device; for example, if one device is
responsible for acquiring data that many other devices need. Using multicasting uses less network bandwidth than
sending the same data to individual devices.
Multicasting also enables you to receive multicast video streams from multicast servers. The residential gateway
supports an Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) proxy that handles IGMP messages. When enabled,
the residential gateway acts as a proxy for a LAN host making requests to join and leave multicast groups.
Multicast fields

Dynamic routing enables you to define dynamic routes using Routing Information Protocol (RIP) to exchange
routing information with other network routers across the WAN (Internet) and LAN interfaces.
• Adds, deletes, or modifies routes in its routing table based on periodic updates from other routers
• Responds to requests for its routing table
ProtocolSets the RIP version:
• RIP v1 (UDP protocol)
• RIP v2 (multicast protocol)
• RIP v1 compatible (UDP protocol with multicast format)
Routers using RIP v1 or a compatible protocol can communicate with each other, but not to routers
using RIP v2.
Enable
Password
PasswordThe password can have up to 16 characters.
InterfaceNormally, when it is enabled on a router, RIP dynamically provides routes on all configured interfaces.
(Optional) RIP v2 enables simple plain-text password-based authentication for RIP packets. It is
disabled if RIP v1 is selected.
On the RSGu3500, you can select which routes are distributed through the network:
• LAN — Sets the direction in which RIP messages are sent on the LAN interface
• WAN — Sets the direction in which RIP messages are sent on the WA N interface
The options for LAN and WAN are:
• Both — receive and send updates to the routing table to other routers on the interface
• In — receive but do not send routing updates on that interface
• Out — send but do not receive routing updates on the interface
• None — do not send or receive routing updates through the interface

A The RSGu3500 Residential Gateway is a stand-alone media terminal adapter (S-MTA) containing a home
router:
•As an S-MTA, it converts analog voice signals to and from a standard telephone to digital data that can
be transmitted through a broadband connection across the Internet. It provid es an alternate means to
make voice calls.
•Its built-in router provides full network connectivity, a firewall, and VPN passthrough.
Q Will the RSGu3500 Residential Gateway work with a cable modem or DSL modem?
A Yes. The RSGu3500 Residential Gateway supports DHCP, which is specified for DOCSIS
and PPPoE, which is used by most DSL providers.
Q Can I operate a virtual private network (VPN) application behind the RSGu3500?
A
Yes. The RSGu3500 Residential Gateway supports IPSec and PPTP, the most common V PN protocols.
®
cable modems,
Q Can I play online games through my RSGu3500?
A
By default, the residential gateway blocks all unsolicited messages to the computer or local network as a
standard security measure. However, for online games that require some unsolicited messages to be
transmitted through the residential gateway, you can specify ports and IP addresses on which to allow
unsolicited messages. The RSGu3500 enables you to set up virtual servers or a DMZ.
Q How do I configure the RSGu3500?
A
Most people can send and receive calls immediately after completing Installation! You can configure your
home or office network through a GUI using a connected computer configured to obtain its IP address using
DHCP. Or, you can configure the computer statically to 192.168.15.xxx (xxx is from 2 to 254), subnet mask
255.255.255.0, and default gateway 192.168.15.1.
Q What is included with the built-in router?
A The RSGu3500 supports a firewall, RIP, port triggers, advanced ALGs such as RSVP, POP3, SNMP, and
streaming media. No separate routers are needed.
Q Is any Quality of Service (QoS) implemented on the RSGu3500 Residential Gateway?
A Although VoIP service is typically best-effort, the RSGu3500 provides upstream voice prioritization to ensure
that upstream voice data has priority over other Web data. This ensures good voice quality even during heavy
upstream data transfers, such as e-mail synchronization or file sharing.
