Relationship among the Devices
This illustration shows a cable company that offers DOCSIS and PacketCable-compliant voice/data
services.
What the Modem Does
The Wireless Voice Gateway provides high-speed Internet access as well as cost-effective, toll-quality
telephone voice and fax/modem services over residential, commercial, and education subscribers on
public and private networks via an existing CATV infrastructure. It can inter-operate with the
PacketCable compliant head-end equipment and provide the IP-based voice communications. The IP
traffic can transfer between the Wireless Voice Gateway and DOCSIS compliant head-end equipment.
The data security secures upstream and downstream communications.
13
Chapter 1: Connections and Setup
What the Modem Needs to Do Its Job
The Right Cable Company:
Make sure your local cable company provides data services that
use cable TV industry-standard DOCSIS compliant and PacketCable compliant technology.
The Internet/Telephony Service Provider (ISP/TSP):
Your cable company provides you
access to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) and Telephony Service Provider (TSP). The ISP is
your gateway to the Internet and provides you with a pipeline to access Internet content on the
World Wide Web (WWW). The TSP provides you with telephony access to other modems or
other telephony services over the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).
Check with your cable company to make sure you have everything you need to begin; they’ll know if
you need to install special software or re-configure your computer to make your cable internet service
work for you.
14
Chapter 1: Connections and Setup
Contact Your Local Cable Company
You will need to contact your cable company to establish an Internet account before you can use your
gateway. You should have the following information ready (which you will find on the sticker on the
gateway):
• The serial number
• The model number
• The Cable Modem (CM) Media Access Control (MAC) address
• The Terminal Adapter (EMTA) MAC address
• Security information: Service Set IDentifier (SSID), Encryption key / passphrase (WPA2-PSK
by default), channel number. Default values are indicated underneath the modem on the sticker.
Please verify the following with the cable company
The cable service to your home supports DOCSIS compliant two-way modem access.
Your internet account has been set up. (The Media Terminal Adapter will provide data service if
the cable account is set up but no telephony service is available.)
You have a cable outlet near your PC and it is ready for Cable Modem service.
Note: It is important to supply power to the modem at all times. Keeping your modem plugged in will
keep it connected to the Internet. This means that it will always be ready whenever you need.
Important Information
Your cable company should always be consulted before installing a new cable outlet. Do not attempt any
rewiring without contacting your cable company first.
15
Chapter 1: Connections and Setup
Connecting the Wireless Voice Gateway to a Single Computer

Chapter 1: Connections and Setup
Telephone or Fax Connection
When properly connected, most telephony devices can be used with the Wireless Voice Gateway just as
with a conventional telephone service. To make a normal telephone call, pick up the handset; listen for a
dial tone, then dial the desired number. For services such as call waiting, use the hook switch (or FLASH
button) to change calls. The following procedures describe some of the possible connection schemes for
using telephony devices with the Wireless Voice Gateway.
1. Connect a standard phone line cord directly from the phone (fax machine, answering machine, caller
ID box, etc.) to one of the LINE jacks on the Wireless Voice Gateway.
2. If there is a phone line in your home which is NOT connected to another telephone service provider,
connect a standard phone line cord from a jack on this line to one of the LINE jacks of the Wireless
Voice Gateway. Connect a standard phone line cord directly from the phone (fax machine, answering
machine, caller ID box, etc.) to one of the other jacks in the house that uses that line.
3. If you have a multi-line telephone, connect a standard phone line cord (not an RJ-14 type line cord)
from the phone to the LINE jacks on the Wireless Voice Gateway. (Other phones can be added to
each line by using standard phone line splitters.

- at the manufactory level,
- following a reset factory on the modem,
- following a reset from the operator,
- following a change by the user who wants to come back to the default setting after using its own
settings When the current password is the default one, the user is strongly encouraged to change the default web password:
- Once the user logs in the web pages, the password setting page is displayed
- the warning message must be displayed in the top banner of the web interface
- The user can still access to all the web pages even if the password is not changed
- The warning message must be displayed on the top banner of each accessed Web page while the
password is not changed
- The password warning message must be visible while accessing all tabs in a the same web page
- The password warning message is no more displayed on the banners once the default
password has been replaced by a new one.
At your first connection or while the password is the default one, a warning message is displayed on the top banner of each Web configuration page. We want to encourage you to change the password in order to enforce the security of your modem.

The password can be a maximum of 8 characters and is case sensitive. In addition, this page can be used to restore the gateway to its original factory settings. Use this with caution, as all the settings you have made will be lost. To perform this reset, set Restore Factory Defaults to Yes and click Apply. This has the same effect as a factory reset using the rear panel reset switch, where you hold on the switch for 15 seconds, then release it.
Note: We are always suggesting to modify the password is implementing for Voice Wireless Gateway.
It is a basically protection to access Voice Wireless Gateway.

4. Diagnostics
This page offers basic diagnostic tools for you to utilize when connectivity problems occur. When you ping an Internet device, you send a packet to its TCP/IP stack, and it sends one back to yours. To use the ping Test, enter the information needed and press Start Test; the Result will be displayed in the lower part of the window. Press Abort Test to stop, and Clear Results to clear the result contents.
Note: Firewalls may cause pings to fail but still provide you TCP/IP access to selected devices behind them. Keep this in mind when pinging a device that may be behind a firewall. Ping is most useful to verify connectivity with PCs which do not have firewalls, such as the PCs on your LAN side.

Gateway – Network Web Page Group
1. LAN
You can activate the DHCP server function for the LAN on this page.
With this activated function,
• your cable company’s DHCP server provides one IP address for your gateway,
• and your gateway’s DHCP server provides IP addresses, starting at the address you set in IP
Address on the LAN page, to your PCs. A DHCP server leases an IP address with an expiration time.
To change the lowest IP address that your gateway will issue to your PCs, enter it into the IP Address box and then click Apply.
IP Address and Subnet Mask:
A private IP address and Subnet Mask for LAN sub netting.
For example 192.168.0.1./ 255.255.255.0.
DHCP Server:
Select the check point of “Yes” or “No” to enable or disable a simple DHCP server for LAN. Configure the IP address numbers for the DHCP server with “lease pool start” and “lease
pool end”.
Configure the IP address lease time with “lease time” for DHCP server. Default value is
604800 seconds.

2. WAN
You can configure the optional internal DHCP server for the WAN on this page. This can be required by some ISP providers.
Select different WAN Connection Type will lead to different contents. Take the WAN connection type-DHCP for example, you can release and renew the WAN lease by pressing the buttons.
You can enter a spoofed MAC address that causes your gateway networking stack to use that MAC address when communicating instead of the usual WAN MAC address, e.g., if the MAC address is 00:11:e3:df:66:95, this spoofed MAC address could be 00:11:e3:df:66:97 or any desired MAC address.

3. Computers
This page displays the status of the DHCP clients and current system time. You can cancel an IP address lease by selecting it in the DHCP Client Lease Info list and then clicking the Force Available button. If you do so, you may have to perform a DHCP Renew on that PC, so that it can obtain a new lease.

Gateway – Advanced Web Page Group
1. Options
This page allows you to enable/disable some features of the Wireless Voice Gateway.
Fig. 19 Gateway\Advanced\Options
WAN Blocking prevents others on the WAN side from being able to ping your gateway. With
WAN Blocking enabled, your gateway will not respond to pings it receives, effectively “hiding” your gateway.
Ipsec PassThrough enables IpSec type packets to pass WAN LAN. IpSec (IP Security) is a
security mechanism used in Virtual Private Networks (VPNs).
PPTP PassThrough enables PPTP type packets to pass WAN LAN. PPTP (Point to Point
Tunneling Protocol) is another mechanism sometimes used in VPNs.
Remote Config Management makes the configuration web pages in your gateway accessible
from the WAN side. Note that page access is limited to only those who know the gateway access password. When accessing your gateway from a remote location, your must use HTTP port 8080 and the WAN IP address of the gateway. For example, if the WAN IP address is 157.254.5.7, you would navigate to http://157.254.5.7:8080 to reach your gateway.
Multicast Enable enables multicast traffic to pass WAN LAN. You may need to enable this to
see some types of broadcast streaming and content on the Internet.
UPnP Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices, such as Internet appliances and computers,
access the network and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can automatically

2. IP Filtering
This page enables you to enter the IP address ranges of PCs on your LAN that you don’t want to have outbound
access to the WAN. These PCs can still communicate with each other on your LAN, but packets designated to WAN
addresses are blocked by the gateway.
Fig. 20 Gateway\Advanced\IP Filtering
40
Chapter 2: WEB Configuration
3. MAC Filtering
This page enables you to enter the MAC address of specific PCs on your LAN that you do not wish to have outbound access to the WAN. As with IP filtering, these PCs can still communicate with each other through the gateway, but packets they send to WAN addresses are blocked.
Fig. 21 Gateway\Advanced\MAC Filtering
41
Chapter 2: WEB Configuration
4. Port Filtering
This page allows you to enter ranges of destination ports (applications) that you don’t want your LAN PCs to send packets to. Any packets your LAN PCs send to these destination ports will be blocked. For example, you could block access to worldwide web browsing (http = port 80) but still allow email service (SMTP port 25 and POP-3 port 110). To enable port filtering, set Start Port and End Port for each range, and click Apply. To block only one port, set both Start and End ports with the same value.
Fig. 22 Gateway\Advanced\Port Filtering

Chapter 2: WEB Configuration
5. Forwarding
For LAN WAN communications, the gateway normally only allows you to originate an IP connection with a PC on the WAN; it will ignore attempts of the WAN PC to originate a connection onto your PC. This protects you from malicious attacks from outsiders. However, sometimes you may wish for anyone outside to be able to originate a connection to a particular PC on your LAN if the destination port (application) matches one you specify.
This page allows you to specify up to 10 such rules. For example, to specify that outsiders should have access to an FTP server you have running at 192.168.0.5, create a rule with that address and Start Port =20 and End Port =21 (FTP port ranges) and Protocol = TCP (FTP runs over TCP and the other transport protocol, UDP), and click Apply. This will cause inbound packets that match to be forwarded to that PC rather than blocked. As these connections are not tracked, no entry is made for them in the
Connection Table. The same IP address can be entered multiple times with different ports.
Fig. 23 Gateway\Advanced\Forwarding
43
Chapter 2: WEB Configuration
6. Port Triggers
Some Internet activities, such as interactive gaming, require that a PC on the WAN side of your gateway be able to originate connections during the game with your game playing PC on the LAN side. You could use the Advanced-Forwarding web page to construct a forwarding rule during the game, and then remove it afterwards (to restore full protection to your LAN PC) to facilitate this. Port triggering is an elegant mechanism that does this work for you, each time you play the game.
Fig. 24 Gateway\Advanced\Port Triggers
Port Triggering works as follows. Imagine you want to play a particular game with PCs somewhere on the Internet. You make one time effort to set up a Port Trigger for that game, by entering into Trigger Range the range of destination ports your game will be sending to, and entering into Target Range the range of destination ports the other player (on the WAN side) will be sending to (ports your PC’s game receives on). Application programs like games publish this information in user manuals. Later, each time you play the game, the gateway automatically creates the forwarding rule necessary. This rule is valid until 10 minutes after it sees game activity stop. After 10 minutes, the rule becomes inactive until the next matched outgoing traffic arrives.
For example, suppose you specify Trigger Range from 6660 to 6670 and Target Range from 113 to
113. An outbound packet arrives at the gateway with your game-playing PC source IP address
192.168.0.10, destination port 666 over TCP/IP. This destination port is within the Trigger destined for port 113 to your game-playing PC at 192.168.0.10.
You can specify up to 10 port ranges on which to trigger.
44
Chapter 2: WEB Configuration
7. DMZ Host
Use this page to designate one PC on your LAN that should be left accessible to all PCs from the WAN side, for all ports. For example, if you put an HTTP server on this machine, anyone will be able to access that HTTP server by using your gateway IP address as the destination. A setting of “0” indicates NO DMZ PC. “Host” is another Internet term for a PC connected to the Internet.
