1. Introduction

Congratulations on becoming the owner of a AAM6030BI CPE (Customer Premises Equipment). Your LAN (Local Area Network) will now be able to access the Internet via the CPE’s ADSL connection. This User Manual will show you how to set up the AAM6030BI CPE, and how to customize it s configuration to get the most out of this product.

1.1 Features & System Requirements

z Features

• Equipped with a 4 Port 10/100 Ethernet

• Connects multiple PCs to the Internet with just one WAN IP Address (when configured in router

mode with NAT enabled)

• Configurable through user-friendly web pages

• Supports Single-Session IPSec and PPTP Pass-Through for Virtual Private Network (VPN)

• Several popular games are already pre configured. Just enable the game and the port settings are

automatically configured.

• Configurable as a DHCP Server on Your Network

• Compatible with virtually all standard Internet applications

• Industry standard and interoperable DSL interface

• Simple web based status page displays a snapshot of your system configuration, and links to the

configuration pages

• Downloadable flash software upgrades

• Support for up to 8 Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVC)

• Support for up to 8 PPPOE sessions

• Layer 2 Ether switch (not a hub)

• Allow PVC assignment to the individual Ethernet Ports (i.e 0,35 -> Ethernet Port 1, 0,36 ->

Ethernet Port 2, etc)

o The modem must support the ability to map PVC’s to physical Ethernet ports. This will

likely be implemented via VLAN to associate the Port to the PVC. The VLAN would then be only locally significant, i.e it is untagged in both directions and does not exist in the DSLAM realm or in the customer network realm. The most important thing is to prevent multicast and broadcast traffic that hits any given port from being broadcast to all ports. A clean approach to achieve this is to segregate each VLAN into a separate bridge table. This restricts all flooding to the bridge group.

• PVC assignment must be operational in bridged mode (RFC 1483/2684)

• Wall mounted/hanged support.

z System Requirements

In order to use the AAM6030BI CPE for Internet access, you must have the following:

f ADSL service subscription from your ISP. f One computer containi ng an Et hernet 10BaseT /100B aseT net work i nterfac e card (N IC). f (Optional) An Ethernet hub/switch, if you are connecting the device to several computers on an

Ethernet network.

f For system monitoring or configuration using the supplied web-based program: a web browser such as

Internet Explorer Version 5.5 or later.

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

2.1 Ports and buttons (Back panel)

z Power is where you connect the power.

z 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.

z 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.

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

2.2 LED description (Front panel)

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

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

3. Getting Start

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

f Part 1 provides instructions to set up the hardware. f Part 2 describes how to configure Internet properties on your computer(s). f 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.

3.1 Connecting the Hardware

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

3.1.1 Connect 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.

3.1.2 Connect 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.

3.1.3 Attach the power adapter

The supplied power adapter may look different than the one illustrated here. Connect the cylindrical power plug into the POWER connector on the back of the device.

• If you have a wall-mount adapter, plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet or a power strip.

• If you have a table-top adapter, use the AC power cord to connect the adapter to a wall outlet or

power strip.

3.1.4 Turn on your computer

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

f By default, the LAN port IP address of the CPE is 192.168.1.1. (You can change this address, or

another address can be assigned by your ISP.)

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

AAM6030BI 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.

4.1 Log into your CPE

To configure your CPE, open your web browser. You may get an erro r message at this poin t; 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)

4.2 Home 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.
