This chapter introduces basic information about the MSG1200 in aspects of the characteristic
and network application, including the following sections:



Introduction



Networking application



Ordering information

1.1 Introduction

The MSG1200 is an access-type network product designed for Small Office/Home Office
(SOHO). Integrated with route, switching, bandwidth access, Wireless Access Point (WAP),
and voice features, it facilitates deploying multiple services at a node when SOHO
applications increase continuously. Therefore, it provides an integrated solution for SOHO.

The MSG1200 provides the following functions:



Provide the 1000 Mbit/s SFP optical interface, EPON/GPON interface, 3G wireless
access, and GE electrical interface at the WAN side.



Provide Ethernet and WLAN access at the LAN side.



Support routing, bridging, Network Address Translation (NAT), Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP), and WAP, addressing need of basic access.



Support the voice feature.



Support access control, packet filtering, anti-DoS attack, and anti-scanning features,
prevent illegal packets attack, and provide system log.



Support remote management through TR069/Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) and local Web configuration mode, helping the administrator manage and
configure devices.

Uplink modes supported by models are different. For details, see section 1.3
Ordering information.

1.2 Networking application

The MSG1200 is an integrated access gateway device designed for SOHO, which provides
Local Area Network (LAN) access. In addition, you can access applications in the Internet
through it.



It can be connected to a PC/IP terminal device through the LAN interface. In addition, it
can be connected downlink to a switch to connect more PCs.



In a large-scale application, it provides centralized configuration, maintenance, and
management on devices through TR069/SNMP, helping improve efficiency and reducing
costs.



It supports the Virtual Private Network (VPN) technology, providing a method to access
the private network easily and securely.



When failing to be connected uplink to a device through a fiber/cable, the MSG1200 can
be connected uplink to the device through the 3G Network Interface Card (NIC).
Therefore, services cannot be interrupted. The MSG1200 provides excellent reliability
for enterprises.



It provides the firewall feature, which is used to prevent external threats and attacks and
lower the security risk.

Optical modules whose models have the SS letters are single-fiber SFP modules,
such as the USFP-03/SS35-D-R. These SFP optical modules must be used in pair,
which means that the Tx wavelength of the sender SFP optical module must be
consistent with the Tx wavelength of the receiver SFP optical module, and vice versa.
For example, the USFP-03/SS13-D-R and USFP-03/SS15-D-R should work together.

The connector type supported by the optical interface depends on the optical
module. For details, see related sections.



Select a connector suitable for the optical interface. Otherwise, it may increase
additional loss of fiber links, reduce transmission quality of services, or even
damage the connector and fiber.

2.5.2 Ethernet cable

The Ethernet service interface on the MSG1200 supports self-adaptive straight-through cables
and crossover cables. There 2 Ethernet cables are available when you need to connect the
Ethernet electrical interface.

Figure 2-13 shows an Ethernet cable.

Figure 2-13 Ethernet cable

The Ethernet cables have two types:



Straight-through cable: used to connect devices of different types, such as a PC and a
switch/switch and router.



Crossover cable: used to connect devices of the same type, such as between 2
PCs/switches/routers, or between a PC and a router (they are divided into the same group)

FAQ

4.1 Precautions

Before installing the MSG1200, you must confirm the following matters:



Place it somewhere ventilated and out of direct sunshine.



Keep at least 10 cm heat dissipation space around and above the device during the
installation. Ensure that the device keeps away from heat sources or bare fire sources,
such as the electric heater and candle.



Use accessories (such as the power adaptor) suitable for the device. Ensure that the plug
is clear and dry to avoid an electric shock or other dangers. Do not use damaged/aged
power cables.



Do not place any object on the device, power cable, or plug. Do not cover the air­conditioning holes with objects.



Do not operate the device during a thunderstorm. Power off the device and remove the
power cable and telephone cable to avoid device damage.



Keep the device dry during storage, shipment, and usage. Power off the device and
contact Raisecom technical supporters if any liquid runs into the chassis.



Children are forbidden to use the device without supervision. Do not let children touch
small accessories to prevent dangers caused by swallowing them.



Stop and power off the device before cleaning it. Use a soft cloth to clean the shell.



Stop and power off the device, as well as pull the plug out as soon as any anomaly occurs,
such as smoking, abnormal noises, and unpleasant smell.



Do not disassemble the device. Contact Raisecom technical supporters when the device
fails.

Description

Power

Ensure that the voltage provided by the AC power is between 100 and
240 V.

Working
status

After the MSG is powered on, check its working status through LEDs.

For details about LEDs, see section 2.2 LEDs.

4.3 Installing software

Before leaving the factory, the MSG is installed with all required software. Therefore, the
MSG can be powered on and run after hardware installation.

4.3.1 Installing and upgrading system software

Files (such as the system software and configuration file) required for operating the MSG1200
are saved at its memory. By default, the system will ask you to confirm operations that may
cause data loss (such as deleting/overriding a file).

The system software and configuration file can be downloaded to the MSG1200 through Web.
In addition, they can be uploaded to the server or downloaded to the MSG1200 system
through TFTP/FTP.

4.3.2 Installing and upgrading NView NNM system

The MSG1200 supports the NView NNM system, which is of easy installation. You can
install the NView NNM system just by following the guides.

For details about the NView NNM system, see related menus.

4.4 Accessing device

4.4.1 Connecting PC to MSG1200

Step 1 Connect a PC to the MSG1200. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the network interface of the

PC and any LAN interface of the MSG1200. Power on the MSG1200 and all LEDs are in
normal status, as shown in Figure 4-9.

Step 2 Configure the IP address of the PC. Click Start and then choose Control Panel. Double-click

Network Connections. Double-click Local Area Connection and a dialog box appears.

Click Properties and then select the Internet Protocol (ICP/IP) radio box. Double-click it and
a dialog box appears, as shown in Figure 4-10. Configure the IP address and the subnet mask
and then click OK.

By default, the IP address of the MSG1200 is set to 192.168.1.1. The IP address of
the PC must be at the same network segment (192.168.1.2–192.168.1.254) with the
default one of the MSG1200.

4.5 FAQ

4.5.1 Why does the POWER LED not light up?



Check whether the power is properly connected.



Check whether the power On/Off button is pressed.



Check whether the power adaptor is matched.

4.5.2 Why does the WAN/LAN LED not light up?



Check whether the Ethernet cable between the PC and the MSG1200 is proper.



Check whether the Ethernet cable is properly connected.



Check whether the WAN LES lights up.



Check whether the NIC is properly working. In Windows operation system (taking
Windows XP for an example), right click My Computer, and then choose Manage.
Click Device Manager at the left tree topology to check whether a device with "?" or "!"
symbol is displayed at the Network adaptors area. If yes, delete the device driver and
re-install the driver. Or you can insert the NIC into another slot. If the problem is not
resolved, change to another NIC.

4.5.3 Why are wireless signals in the WLAN weak/unstable?



Check whether there is a strong magnetic field or radio waves in the near. Ensure that the
MSG1200 and the PC keep away from electrical equipment with a strong magnetic or
electric field.



Objects, such as the concrete/wooden wall may cause wireless signal attenuation.
Therefore, install the MSG1200 in an open space.



The PC is far away from the MSG1200. Locate the PC near to the MSG1200.



Thunderstorm weather may influence the wireless network. We recommend using the
wireless network on a day with nice weather.
