2.Your CPE at a glance

Your CPE has many ports, switches and LEDs. Let’s take a look at the different options. Depending upon your model of CPE, your CPE may have some or all of the features listed below

2.1Ports and buttons (Back panel)

Power is where you connect the power.

LAN 1~4 (local area network) port: connect to Ethernet network devices, such as a PC, hub, switch, or router. Some CPEs come with a single LAN connection and some come with four LAN connections. Depending on the connection, you may need a cross over cable or a strait through cable.

Reset Button: The reset button is used to reset the CPE to default setting. You may need to reset the CPE if you loose network connectivity or you loose the ability to interface to the CPE via the web interface. To reset the CPE, simply press the reset button for about 5-10 seconds and release. After about 30 seconds the CPE will become operational.

DSL (Line) port: This is the WAN interface that connects directly to your phone line.

2.2LED description (Front panel)

Power LED: On indicates that the power is supplied to the CPE

Status LED: The Status LED serves two purposes. If the LED is continuously lit, the DSL interface is successfully connected to a device through the WAN port. If the LED is flickering, it is an indication that the modem is training.

Activity LED: The Activity LED flash during ADSL data transfer.

LAN 1~4 LED: The LAN’s LED serves two purposes. If the LED is continuously lit, the Ethernet interface is successfully connected to a device through the LAN port. If the LED is flickering, it is an indication of any network activity.

WLAN LED: The Wireless LAN’s LED. This LED is continuously lit due to power up and flickering if any Wireless network activity in device.

3.Getting Start

This chapter provides basic instructions for connecting the CPE to a computer or a LAN and to the Internet via ADSL.

Part 1 provides instructions to set up the hardware.

Part 2 describes how to configure Internet properties on your computer(s). Part 3 shows you how to access your CPE.

It is assumed that you have already subscribed to ADSL service with your telephone company or other Internet service provider (ISP). These instructions provide a basic configuration that should be compatible with your home or small office network setup. Refer to the subsequent chapters for additional configuration instructions.

3.1Connecting the Hardware

In 3.1, you should connect the device to an ADSL line, the power outlet, and your computer or network.

3.1.1Connect the ADSL line

Connect your ADSL line to the port labeled LINE on the rear panel of the device, and connect the other end of the line to the wall phone jack directly or to an optional POTS splitter. If you use a POTS splitter to connect a telephone to the same wall jack as the CPE, follow the instructions that came with the splitter.

3.1.2Connect the computers or a LAN

You can use the included Ethernet cable to connect your computer directly to the CPE. Attach one end of the Ethernet cable to the port labeled LAN on the rear panel of the device and connect the other end to the Ethernet port of your computer.

If your LAN has more than one computer, you can attach one end of an Ethernet cable to a hub or a switch and the other to the port labeled LAN on the CPE.

Note that either a crossover or a straight-through Ethernet cable can be used. The CPE determines and adjusts to the type of signal required.

3.1.3Attach the power adapter

Connect the cylindrical power plug into the POWER connector on the back of the device.

3.1.4Turn on your computer

Turn on and boot up your computer and any other LAN devices, such as hubs or switches.

Now that the hardware installation is complete, proceed to Chapter 4: Setting up your CPE

AAM6020VI-T4 User Manual

4.Setting up your CPE

This section will guide you through your CPE’s configuration. The CPE is shipped with a standard default bridge configuration; for most users, you may want to change the CPE from a bridge to a router.

4.1Log into your CPE

To configure your CPE, open your web browser. You may get an error message at this point; this is normal. Don’t panic. Continue following these directions. Type the default IP address (192.168.1.1) Press the Enter key and the following screen, shown in Figure 1 will appear. The default user name is Admin (case sensitive) and the password is Admin (case sensitive).

Note: Before setting up your CPE, make sure you have followed the quick start guide. You should have your computers configured for DHCP mode and have proxies disabled on your browser. Also if you access the router, and instead of getting a login screen, the browser instead displays a login redirection screen, you should check your browser's setting, and verify that JavaScript support is enabled. Also, if you do not get the screen shown in Figure 1, you may need to delete your temporary Internet files (basically flush the cached web pages).

Figure 1 (Log-in Screen)

4.2Home screen

The first screen (Figure 2) that appears (after the log in screen) is the Home screen. From this screen the user can setup the modem (configure the LAN and WAN connection(s), configure the advanced configuration options within the modem (security, routing, and filtering), access tools that are helpful for debug purposes, obtain the status of the modem, and view the extensive online help.

The basic layout of the Home page consists of a page selection list across the top of the browser window. The footer displays CPE status, connection information, and other useful information. The center display is where most of the configuration will take place.
