1 - Introduction
1.1 Presentation
This reference manual is dedicated to the SAGEM F@stTM 2604 and SAGEM F@stTM 2644
product ranges. These products are routers which give users, broadband Internet access from
their computer or their games console by various Ethernet (10 or 100 BASE-T) or Wi-Fi (IEEE
802.11g) interfaces via an ADSL/ADSL2/ ADSL2+ network.
Using these interfaces, this router enables you both to surf the Internet and to watch television.
It also lets you telephone over the Internet from an IP SIP telephone linked by Wi-Fi to your
router.
SAGEM F@stTM 2604 and SAGEM F@stTM 2644 products adapt the ADSL
function respectively for POTS (UIT G.992.1/3/5 - Annex A) and for ISDN
(UIT G.992.1/3/5 - Annex B).
¾ The router must be installed and used inside a building.
¾ The ambient temperature must not exceed 45°C.
¾ The router must not be exposed to direct strong sunlight nor to an intense heat source.
¾ The router must not be placed in an environment subject to vapour condensation.
¾ The router must not be exposed to water projections.
¾ The router unit must not be covered.
Power source
¾ Use a network socket with easy access, which is close to the equipment. The power cord is
2 m in length.
¾ Arrange the power cord so as to prevent any accidental cutoff of the router.
¾ The router is designed to be connected to a TT or TN type power network.
¾ The router is not designed to be connected to an electrical installation with an IT type
diagram (neutral connected to earth through an impedance).
¾ Protection against short circuits and inter-phase leakages, neutral and earth must be
ensured by the building's electrical installation. The power circuit of this equipment must be
fitted with a 16 A protection against power surges, and with a differential protection.
Maintenance
¾ It is prohibited to open the case. Only qualified personnel approved by your supplier may do

4 - Configuration of network parameters
The aim of this section is:
1) to configure your computer so that it is able to communicate with your router.
2) and to display the "Networks" parameters of your router.
Your router implements the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, relay and
client functions in accordance with RFC 2131 and RFC 3132, whereas the computer connected
directly to the router or via a local network by its LAN interface implements only the DHCP client
function.
On receipt of a DHCP query from your computer (see
), whether or not it is connected to
your router, the latter responds by indicating:
• an address from the range defined in the configuration,
• the sub-network mask,
• the default gateway (address of your router),
• the address of the gateway as DNS server. The "DNS Relay" function is activated
automatically.
The configured range of IP addresses must be the same in the sub-network as in
the LAN interface.
It is imperative that your computer is configured as a DHCP client or that it has a
fixed IP address in the configuration range defined by the DHCP server.
Configuration as a DHCP client is the more commonly used solution.

Basic principles
1) To make this guide easier to read and understand, it does not state that each time you enter
information into a screen you must click on Save or Save/Apply or Save/Reboot (except,
of course, if this is necessary).
2) When you select a section, the screen for the first menu in the section is displayed. In the
same way, when you select a menu, the screen for the first sub-menu is displayed.
3) All the fields in the different screens are explained in a table.
Note:This field only appears if the "Automatically synchronize with Internet time
servers" box is checked in the "Management / Internet Time" menu
(see subsection 5.11.5).
5.5.2 Diagnostics
Object: This menu is used to display all the tests performed on the connections made from
your router to your Internet Service Provider (ISP). These tests concern:
• connection to your local network (LAN),
• connection to your "DSL Service Provider",
• connection to your "Internet Service Provider".
A hypertext link (help) enables the user to access context-related help. This help
gives an explanation concerning the state of the connection (PASS in green, DOWN
in orange and FAIL in red) and supplies the appropriate troubleshooting procedures.
The ADSL line translates the three statuses detailed in the table below.

FAILRed
If a test displays a "FAIL" status, click on "Help" and then the button
"Rerun Diagnostic Tests" at the bottom of the "Help" page, to check that the test
has been conclusive. If the test still displays "FAIL", you must follow the
troubleshooting procedure displayed on this page.

5.7 Wireless
Object: This menu lets you activate a network and also allows you to configure all the basic
and advanced parameters of a wireless network.
This section contains the following five menus:
• Basic (see subsection 5.7.1),
• Security (see subsection 5.7.2),
• MAC Filter (see subsection 5.7.3),
• Advanced (see subsection 5.7.4),
• Quality of Service (see subsection 5.7.5).
The Security, MAC Filter, Advanced and Quality of Service menus are used
to configure the advanced parameters in the Wireless section. These menus are
only displayed if, in the Basic menu, the "Enable Advanced Wireless
Configuration" box is checked (not checked by default).
These menus must only be accessed/modified by experienced users.
5.7.1 Basic
• Select the Basic menu in the Wireless section to display the following wireless network
configuration screen:
Check the appropriate box to activate the wireless
network (Wi-Fi).
Note:The steady "Wi-Fi" LED on the front of the
router shows that the wireless network (Wi-Fi)
is activated.
Check the appropriate box to mask the broadcast of the
SSID and prevent any Wi-Fi connection on your router.
Note:When this box is checked, the router's SSID is
absent from the Wi-Fi adaptor user's own list of
monitored sites (Access Point).
Enter your router's SSID.
Note:This is indicated on the label stuck to the box.
Select the country of your choice from the scroll down

identifies a cell (BSS in English Basic Service Set).
This cell is a set formed by the access point and the
stations located in its coverage area.

Object: The purpose of this menu is to secure your wireless network (Wi-Fi). All types of
ingenious solutions have been deployed to combat attacks from hackers. Encryption
modes have been implemented to secure your wireless network. Among these, two
are commonly used:
¾ WEP (Wired Equivalent Protocol),
¾ WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and its derivatives (WPA-PSK, WPA2 etc.).
The WPA encryption mode is the most robust and the best adapted to correctly
securing your wireless network.

Preamble Type
Transmit Power
In the IEEE 802.11 standard, the "preamble" is
used to synchronise the Emitter and Receiver
correctly. The "long preamble" is generally
commonly used. For reasons of bandwidth gain,
this standard proposes reducing the length of the
"preamble".
“Preamble Type” defines the length of block CRC
(Cyclical Redundancy Checking).
If your network does not include any peripheral
802.11b, you can configure the type of preamble
on “short” for an optimal result.
The type of preamble “long” must be used if the
peripherals 802.11g and 802.11b are both present
on the network.
In the scroll down list, select long to keep a
128 bit "preamble" or short to reduce it to 56 bits.
If 802.11 h is selected, in the scroll down list
select the cyclical emission ratio (20%, 40 %,
60 %, 80 % or 100 %) at which you want to
transmit.
Object:The Wi-Fi quality of service for your router conforms to the WMM (Wifi MultiMedia)
specification. This standard improves the performances of Wi-Fi links by acting on
the data flows (packet size, bit rates, etc.) and the length of queues while respecting
bandwidth requirements (managed by the router).

identical.
¾ When you want to select a range of ports, the start port number must be lower than
the end port number.
¾ You must always start entering with the "External Port Start" and "External Port End"
