The following picture shows the setup page.
The page is divided into three subsections – the Quick Start, the LAN and the WAN configuration.
Before configuring the Gateway, there are several concepts that you should be fa­miliar with on how your new Gateway works. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with these concepts, as it should make the configuration much easier.
Wide Area Network connection
On one side of the Gateway there is your Wide Area Network (WAN) connection, also referred to as a broadband connection. This WAN connection is different for every WAN operator. Most of the configuration you will perform will be in this area.
Page 27
Local Area Network connection
On the other side of your Gateway, you have your own Local Area network (LAN) connections. This is where your local computers are connected to the Gateway. The Gateway is normally configured to automatically assign IP addresses for all the PC’s on your network.
4.3.1 Quick Start
For your convenience, we have prepared a setup wizard which will allow you to connect your Gateway to the internet in a few easy steps.
Click on Quick Start located on top of the left menu. The following screen will appear.

Physical Network Interface Description
Ethernet LAN containing all devices connected to one
of the RJ45 ports of the Gateway.
WLAN LAN containing all devices connected to the
wireless access point of the Gateway.
USB LAN containing all devices connected to the
USB port of the Gateway.

Corinex ADSL2+ Wireless Gateway G Configuration
Corinex ADSL2+ Wireless Gateway G
By default, all three interfaces belong to the same group – Group 1.
In the table Interfaces there are interfaces which are not assigned to any group. You can move interfaces between groups using the Add and Remove buttons next to each group.
You can click on Configure to set up parameters for the appropriate LAN Group. You will enter the following screen.
Page 30
29
Corinex ADSL2+ Wireless Gateway G Configuration
Corinex ADSL2+ Wireless Gateway G
You can choose from Unmanaged, Automatic or Static IP settings for this LAN Group. Unmanaged settings don’t require any additional configuration. With the setting “Obtain an IP Address automatically”, the LAN group will request the IP Settings from a DHCP server in the LAN.
If you choose the Static IP Settings, you can configure the following fields: IP Address, Netmask, Default Gateway, Host Name and Domain.
The gateway includes a DHCP server and DHCP relay functionality. You can choose from Enable DHCP Server, Enable DHCP Relay or DHCP Server and Relay off.
You can enable the DHCP Server by clicking the radio button Enable DHCP Server. You will need to specify the Start IP Address and End IP Address for assigning addresses to clients. With Lease Time, you can specify how many seconds a client will hold the assigned IP before it asks for a new one. The default settings is one hour (3600 seconds).
In addition to the DHCP server feature, the Gateway supports the DHCP relay function. When the gateway is configured as a DHCP server, it assigns the IP addresses to the LAN clients. When the Gateway is configured as DHCP relay, it is responsible for forwarding the requests and responses negotiating between the DHCP clients and the server.
By turning off the DHCP server and relay the network administrator must carefully configure the IP address, Subnet Mask and DNS settings of every computer on your network. Do not assign the same IP address to more than one computer and your ADSL+ Gateway must be on the same subnet as all the other computers.
You can configure additional settings for each LAN Group, by clicking on one of the buttons IP Filters, Bridge Filters, UPnP, LAN Clients, IP QoS and Static Routing on the right side of the LAN Group Configuration screen. This features will be described later in this user guide.

In the next section of the Setup tab, you can configure the 4-port ethernet switch of your Gateway.
For each of the 4 ports you can select between Auto, 10/Half Duplex, 10/Full Duplex, 100/Half Duplex and 100/Full Duplex. We recommend the Auto setting which makes sure that your ethernet device connected to the switch will work properly.
Additionally, you can enable or disable IGMP Snooping for the ethernet switch. IGMP Snooping is a feature whch allows the switch to enable or disable multicast traffic automatically for each port and prevents unwanted traffic going to comput­ers on the network. With IGMP Snooping, Layer 2 devices can “listen in” on IGMP conversations between hosts and routers. When a switch hears a group join message from a host, it notes which switch interface it heard the message on, and adds that interface to the group. Similarly, when a Layer 2 switch hears a group leave message or a response timer expires, the switch will remove that host’s switch interface from the group.

4.3.4 Firewall / NAT Services
For the LAN interfaces, Firewall and NAT are enabled by default. If you don’t want to use Firewall or Network Address Translation, you can disable it in the screen below.
4.3.5 WAN Setup
Before the gateway will pass any data between the LAN interface(s) and the WAN interface, the WAN side of the modem must be configured. Depending upon your DSL service provider or your ISP (internet service provider), you will need some (or all) of the information outlined below before you can properly configure the WAN:
• Your DSL line VPI and VCI
• Your DSL encapsulation type and multiplexing
• Your DSL training mode (default is MMODE)
For PPPoA or PPPoE users, you also need these values from your ISP:
• Your username and password
For RFC 1483 users, you may need these values from your ISP:
• Your DSL fixed Internet IP address
• Your Subnet Mask
• Your Default Gateway
• Your primary DNS IP address

Since multiple users can use the gateway, the gateway can simultaneously support multiple connection types; hence, you must set up different profiles for each connection. The gateway supports the following protocols:
• RFC2516 PPPoE
• RFC 2364 PPPoA
• Static
• DHCP
• Bridged
• CLIP
4.3.6 New Connection
A new connection is basically a virtual connection. Your gateway can support up to 8 different (unique) virtual connections. If you have multiple different virtual connections, you may need to utilize the static and dynamic routing capabilities of the modem to pass data correctly.
Before you create a new WAN connection, you should make sure you have DSL connection. If you have an existing DSL connection a green light will be displayed in the left menu next to the Modem item as shown in the picture below.
Click on New Connection to enter the page for creating and configuring a new connection to the internet. The following page will appear, with predefined settings for a PPPoE connection.
Note: This screen can be virtually divided into three sections. Section A includes settings specific to the connection type. Section B (VLAN settings) and section C (PVC settings) remain the same for all six connection types. For other connection types, we will focus on the fields and features in section A.

PPPoE Connection Setup
PPPoE is a protocol for encapsulating PPP frames in Ethernet frames and is described in RFC 2516. PPPoE provides the ability to connect to a network of hosts over a simple bridging access device to a remote Access Concentrator. With this model, each host utilizes its own PPP stack and access control, billing, and type of service control can all be done on a per-user rather than per-site basis.
Follow the instructions below to configure the gateway as PPPoE.
1. From the Setup main page, click on New Connection. The default PPPoE connection setup is displayed. The following picture illustrates a typical PPPoE configuration.

PPPoA Connection Setup
PPPoA is also known as RFC 2364. It is a method of encapsulating PPP packets over ATM cells, which are carried over the DSL line. PPP or Point-to-Point protocol is a method of establishing a network connection/session between network hosts. It usually provides a mechanism of authenticating users. LLC and VC are two different methods of encapsulating the PPP packet. Contact your ISP to make sure which encapsulation is being supported.
By selecting PPPoA, you are forcing your gateway to terminate the PPPoA connection. The advantage is that the PPPoA termination is done within the gateway and not on your PC; this frees up your PC resources and allows multiple users to utilize the PPPoA connection.
Follow the instructions below to configure the gateway as PPPoA.
1. From the Setup main page, click on New Connection. The default PPPoE connection setup is displayed.
2. At the Type field select PPPoA. The PPPoA connection setup page is displayed. The picture below illustrates a typical PPPoA configuration.

Page 56
55
Corinex ADSL+ Gateway G Configuration
Corinex ADSL2+ Wireless Gateway G
When the SNTP feature is enabled, your Gateway will start querying for the time clock information from the primary SNTP server. If it fails to get a valid response within the “timeout” period, it will try for “retry” number of times, before moving to the Secondary SNTP server. If it fails to get a valid response from Secondary STNP server within valid retry times, it starts querying Tertiary SNTP server. If it fails to get a valid response from all the servers, then the program stops. When a valid response is received from one of the server, the program sleeps for Polling Interval amount of minutes, before starting the whole process again.
By default, SNTP is disabled. For enabling, check the Enable SNTP checkbox and fill the boxes according to the following table:
Field Description
Primary SNTP Server
The IP address or the host name of the primary SNTP server.
Secondary SNTP Server

4.4.3 SNMP
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a troubleshooting and management protocol, which uses the UDP protocol on port 161 to communicate between clients and servers. The following picture shows the default SNMP screen.
SNMP uses a manager MIB (management information base) agent solution to fulfill the network management needs. The agent is a separate station that can request data from an SNMP agent in each of the different managed systems in the network. The agent uses the MIBs as dictionaries of manageable objects. Each SNMP-managed device has at least one agent that can respond to the queries from the NMS. The SNMP agent supports GETS, SETS, and TRAPS for 4 groups with MIB-II: System, Interface, IP, and ICMP.

The SNMP agents support 3 community names authentication.
In the table below, you can find description of all fields in this section.
Field Definition/ Description
Enable SNMP Agent SNMP Agents are enabled by default.
Enable SNMP Traps SNMP Traps are enabled by default.
Name An administratively-assigned name for the
gateway. By convention, this is the node’s ful­ly-qualified domain name.
Location The physical location of the Gateway.
Contact Contact person and/or contact information
for the Gateway.
Vendor OID Vendor object identifier. Private MIBs fit under
OID 1.3.6.1.4.1. The enterprise number of TI is 294.
Community SNMP defines a community to be a relation-
ship between an SNMP agent and one or more SNMP managers. Once the clear-text community name corresponds to a com­munity known to the receiving SNMP entity, the sending SNMP entity is considered to be authenticated as a member of that commu­nity and is granted different levels of access: read-only or read-write. The combination of community access mode and that of an ob­ject, a community profile is defined for each object. The community profile defines the op­eration permitted to the object. In the Linux NSP Gateway, a default community name of “public” with access mode of “read-only” is created in the configuration file. It allows a GET or a GETNEXT operation to all objects with access rights of READ-ONLY and READ­WRITE in the MIB..

4.4.5 Dynamic DNS Client
The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname in many domains offered from DynDNS providers, allowing your computer to be more easily accessed from various locations on the Internet.
The Dynamic DNS service is ideal for a home website, file server, or just to keep a pointer back to your home PC so you can access those important documents while you’re at work. Using the DynDNS client in the Gateway, you can keep your hostname always pointing to your IP address, no matter how often your ISP changes it.
In this screen you can select the following options.
Field Definition/ Description
Enable With this checkbox you can enable or disable
the DynDNS client in the Gateway.
Status This field shows the current status of your
DynDNS domain.

4.4.6 IP QoS
When QoS is enabled in the Gateway, the designated machine, application or per­son would have precedence over peers when competing for bandwidth. The IP QoS Setup page allows you to configure QoS for a connection, view previously configured QoS rules, add a new rule, or delete an existing rule.
Each output device has three priority queues associated with transmit data. The high priority queues have strict priority over the medium priority and low prior­ity queues, and therefore can exhaust all available bandwidth. The web UI will allow the user to select the weights of the medium and low priority queues in increments of 10 percent so that that the sum of the weights of the 2 queues is equal to 100 percent. These queues will be serviced on a Round Robin priority basis according to the weights assigned, after the high priority queues have been completely serviced.
In the following table, you can find a description of all settings in this screen.
Page 63
62
Corinex ADSL+ Gateway G Configuration
Corinex ADSL2+ Wireless Gateway G
Field Definition/ Description
Choose a connection This field allows you choose a connection from
the list of available connections. For example choose a WAN connection to enable IP QoS for the Upstream traffic of the Modem. On the other hand choose the LAN connection (Ethernet and USB Bridged) for the down­stream traffic.
Low Priority weight Medium priority weight
These 2 fields will allow you to select the weights of the Medium and Low priority queues in increments of 10 percent, so that that the sum of the weights of these 2 queues is equal to 100 percent.
Enable IPQoS This field allows you to enable/disable IP QoS
for the chosen connection.
Note: If IP QoS is enabled and no rules are defined, a default rule is applied to the con­nection. The default rule puts all the traffic to be transmitted in the Low Priority queue
Trusted Mode The NSP has two primary modes of opera-
tion with regard to queue traffic prioritization
- Trusted and Un-trusted. This field allows you to choose the mode - Trusted (checked) and Un-trusted (Unchecked). In Trusted mode all the rules will be applied first, regardless of the setting of the TOS bits. After the rules have been exhausted the existing TOS bit settings will be honored. The Un-trusted mode will match first against all rules as in Trusted mode. The difference is that if there is no match then a default rule will be used. The default rule will have an associ­ated queuing priority - Low.
In case you enabled the IP QoS field, you can add detailed rules for QoS.
For adding a rule, please select the connection from the choose a connection list and click Add. The following screen will appear:
Page 64
63
Corinex ADSL+ Gateway G Configuration
Corinex ADSL2+ Wireless Gateway G
The Rules configuration page will allow you to define IP matching fields to associate with the priority queues associated with the named connections selected above in the “QoS Setup Page” section.
There will be three primary fields for you to select:
• A Trusted mode check box.
• A traffic priority choice (EF2/High, Medium, Low). Note that EF1 is not a choice for the user as it is meant only for voice control packets.
• An IP rules matching selection area.
The Gateway has two primary modes of operation with regard to queue traffic prioritization: Trusted and Un-trusted. The Web UI will provide one check box to enable trusted mode. In Trusted mode all rules will be applied first, regardless of the setting of the TOS bits. After the rules have been exhausted the existing TOS bit settings will be honored. If the Trusted mode box is unchecked this will indicate the Un-trusted mode. Un-trusted mode will match first against all rules as in Trusted mode. The difference is that if there is no match then a default rule will be used. The default rule will have an associated queuing priority - Low.
Rule definitions will be defined by the user, by allowing the user to select matching based on Source IP and Netmask, Destination IP and Netmask, IP Protocol, Source Port range, Destination Port range, and Incoming Mac Port (switched LAN Port). These selections will define a rule and be associated with a particular queue priority: High, Medium, and Low. There is another option to choose a particular TOS mark­ing. The allowed options are - No change, Normal service, Minimize monitory cost, Maximize reliability, Maximize throughput and Minimize delay.

4.4.19 Dynamic Routing
Dynamic Routing uses RIP (Routing Information Protocol) for exchanging routing information with other routers in the network. It is supported across both WAN and LAN interfaces. When RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is enabled the router builds its own routing tables utilizing request and response packets. A request packet tells the router to build a list of its routing table contents with the network/host IP to which the table belongs, Netmask for the network and RIP host. After obtaining this information, the router will send a response to the machine that sent the original request. RIP will also update the main routing table.
4.4.18 Static Routing
The Gateway allows you to manually program the router’s routing table. Up to 16 routes can be added.

In the table below you can see the description of this page.
Field Description
Enable RIP Enable/Disable RIP
Protocol The following three RIP versions are available:
•RIP v1
•RIP v2
•RIP v1 compatible.
Enable Password The 16 character long plain text password.
Password Netmask of the source IP on your LAN side.
Direction Normally when RIP is enabled on a router it dynami-
cally learns routes on all it’s configured interfaces. This parameter allows the user to select the interfaces on which RIP is expected to learn and distribute routing informa­tion. This feature allows the user to control how and which routes get distributed through the network e.g. prevent routes to the private LAN networks from being sent over to the WAN side router. The following four direction op­tions are available:
• Both: Receive updates on the interface and also send it’s routing table to other routers connected to that interface.
• In: Receive routing updates from other routers connect­ ed to that interface but NOT send routing updates on that interface.
• Out: Send routing updates but not receive updates on this interface from the other routers connected to that interface
• None: Ignores this interface and not send or receive routing updates through this interface.

Every device that connects to the modem has its own class identifier. A set top box also has its own identifier. Whenever the set top box connects to the Gateway, it will send a DHCP discovery. The Gateway will check the DHCP option 60 in the packet. If the option 60 identifier matches the identifier stored in the Gateway, the Gateway will remember the MAC address of the STB. All incoming LAN traffic with the source MAC address matching the MAC address stored in the Gateway will be directly sent to the ISP. All incoming traffic from the ISP going to the destination MAC address stored in the Gateway will be sent directly to STB without any routing.
Only one PVC and one MAC address is supported at the moment.
Note: You must not enter your PC’s identifier (MSFT 5.0) into the class identifier field. If you do so, your PC will not be able to get access to any webpage anymore.
4.4.20 Simultaneous Bridge & Route
Enabling this option will allow that special devices like set top boxes (STB) will get a public address from the ISP and send/receive packets directly from the ISP without being routed.

Page 87
The table below describes the options in this page:
Option Description
Enable AP The wireless setup allows the user to enable or disable
the AP (access point). Disabling of AP will prevent the Gateway from emitting or receiving any wireless signal.
SSID Here you can enter your SSID which is an identification
string for your wireless access point
Hidden SSID If this field is checked, the access point will not send the
SSID to other wireless enabled devices in the range.
Channel B/G You can select the channel for transmission of the
wireless access point. Please note that not all channels are allowed in each country. Refer to the following regulation information (IEEE STD 802.11b-1999/Cor 1-2001):
- Europe: channels 1-13
- USA/Canada : channels 1-11
- Japan: channels 1-14
- Spain: channels 10 &11
802.11 Mode You can select the mode so that only selected wireless devices can connect to your access point:
- Mixed: both 802.11b and 802.11g devices can connect
- B only : only 802.11b devices can connect
- B+: both devices with 802.11b and enhanced
802.11b+ (22 Mbps) can connect
- G only : only 802.11g devices can connect
4x If this is checked, the access point switches to the

4.5.2 Configuration
In this section you can configure advanced wireless parameters. After clicking on Configuration in the left menu, the following screen will appear:
Page 89
The table below describes the available settings:
Field Value
Beacon Period Beacon Period is the amount of time between beacon
transmissions. Before a station enters power save mode, the station needs the beacon period to know when to wake up to receive the beacon (and learn whether there are buffered frames at the access point). The default value is 200.
DTIM Period DTIM stands for Delivery Traffic Indication Message.
A DTIM is a countdown field informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the access point has buffered broadcast or multicast message for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Period value. Access point clients hear and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages. The default DTIM period is ‘2’.
RTS Threshold The 802.11 standard includes the RTS/CTS (Request
to Send/Clear to Send) function to control access of the wireless stations to the wireless medium. If two wireless stations are transmitting packets to the access point at the same time, the access point will not be able to handle both, and one of the stations will have to repeat the transmission. If the RTS/CTS function is enabled, the station will initiate a handshake with the destination device (access point). After the access point finishes all pending operations, it confirms that the station can send the packet. This improves performance by avoiding repeat transmissions of the same data. The threshold value is the maximum size of a packet which can be sent without activating the RTS/CTS handshake. Sending a packet with a size larger than the threshold value will activate the RTS/CTS handshake before transmission can begin. By default, the RTS/CTS function is disabled– the threshold is set to 2347 bytes.

Field Value
Frag Threshold In case of interference in the wireless channel,
or weak coverage, the Corinex ADSL2+ Wireless Gateway G can fragment frames to optimize performance. It will divide the frames into smaller pieces and send them separately to the recipient. Only data packets are fragmented, the broadcast and multicast packets are transmitted unchanged. The threshold value means the maximum size of an unfragmented packet. Any frame larger than that threshold will be fragmented. If there are no packet losses in the wireless media, the value should be unchanged. If you experience collisions, try to lower the threshold to approx. 1000 bytes. If the network performs well at this setting, you can try higher values until you find the optimal performance. The default value of the threshold is 2346 bytes.
Power Level You can choose the percentage of maximum power
output to meet your requirement. The default is Full.
After the configuration, click on Apply. To enable the new settings you will have to restart the access point. Please go to the System Commands section in the To o l s tab as shown below and click on Restart Access Point.
