Reset	The Reset button is a small hole in the gateway's enclosure with the actual button mounted behind the surface. This
	style of push-button prevents the gateway from being inadvertently reset during handling. Reset must be actuated
	with a paper clip or similar implement.
	The Reset button is located on the left side of the unit. Press the button for at least 1 second and release. The factory
	default settings are restored.

Buttons

On/Off Button

The On/Off button is located on the back of the gateway and turns the gateway on and off.

Reset Button

The Reset button is a small hole in the gateway's enclosure with the actual button mounted behind the surface. This style of pushbutton prevents the gateway from being inadvertently reset during handling. Reset must be actuated with a paper clip or similar implement.

The Reset button is located on the backleft side of the unit.

This pin-hole sized reset button has three functions. The duration for which the button is held dictates which function is carried out.

Hold Duration	Effect
Less than 6	Performs a modem reset that is equivalent to the Reboot function in the gateway software.
seconds
6-20 seconds	Performs the software equivalent to the Restore Defaults function in the gateway software.

20 or more seconds Changes the POWER LED to red and the gateway enters CFE mode which is a state associated with performing firmware updates via Internet browser.

WPS Button

The WPS button is located on the top of the unit. It triggers WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup™) mode. WPS is a standard means for creating a secure connection between your gateway and various wireless client devices. It is designed to simplify the pairing process between devices.

If you have client devices that support WPS, use this button to automatically configure wireless security for your network. For specific instructions, refer to the Quick Start Guide included with your gateway. Also see the Wireless section of this manual.

WiFi Button

The WiFi button is located on the top of the unit and toggles the WiFi radio on and off.

To activate the WiFi radio, press and hold the WiFi button for 3-5 seconds and then release. Repeat this step to deactivate the WiFi radio.

Installing your SR506n Gateway

1.Plug the power adapter into the wall outlet and then connect the other end to the Power port of the gateway.

2.Connect the LAN port of the gateway to the network card of the PC using an Ethernet cable.

3.Turn on the unit by pressing the On/Off button on the side of the gateway.

Note: If you use 3G WAN service, connect the 3G USB data card to a USB port of the gateway. If you use the Ethernet uplink, connect to the WAN interface using an Ethernet cable. You cannot use the xDSL uplink, 3G WAN service, and Ethernet uplink all at the same time.

Your gateway is now automatically being set up to connect to the Internet. This process may take a few minutes to complete before you can begin using your Internet applications (browser, email, etc.).

If you are unable to connect to the Internet, confirm that all cable connections are in place and the router’s power is turned on.

Logging in to your Gateway's UI

To manually configure the SmartRG SR555acSR655ac gateway, access the gateway's embedded UI.

•LLC/SNAP-BRIDGING: LLC used to carry multiple protocols in a single PVC.

•LLC/SNAP-ROUTING: (Available for IPoA only) LLC used to carry one protocol per PVC.

•VC/MUX: Virtual Circuit Multiplexer creates a virtual connection used to carry one protocol per PVC.

Service Category Select the bit rate protocol. Options are:

•UBR without PCR: Unspecified Bit Rate with no Peak Cell Rate, flow control or time synchronization between the traffic source and destination. Commonly used with applications that can tolerate data / packet loss.

•UBR with PCR: Same as above but with a Peak Cell Rate.

•CBR: Constant Bit Rate relies on timing synchronization to make the network traffic predictable. Used commonly in Video and Audio traffic network applications.

•Non Realtime VBR: Non Realtime Variable Bit Rate used for connections that transport traffic at a Variable Rate. This category requires a guaranteed bandwidth and latency. It does not rely on timing synchronization between the destination and source.

•Realtime VBR: Realtime Variable Bit Rate. Same as the above option but relies on timing and synchronization between the destination and source. This category is commonly used in networks with compressed video traffic.

		• Default Queue Weight: The default weight of the specified queue. Options are 1-63.
		• Default Queue Precedence: The precedence of the specified group. Options are 1-8.
		• VC WRR Weight: The weight of the specified virtual channel queue. Options are 1-63.

PTM Interface

The SmartRG gateway's VDSL2 standards support Packet Transfer Mode (PTM). An alternative to ATM mode, PTM transports packets (IP, PPP, Ethernet, MPLS, and others) over DSL links. For more information, refer to the IEEE802.3ah standard for Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM). Some 500 series gateways have a PTM interface configured by default.

On this page, you can configure a PTM interface for your gateway.

1.In the left navigation bar, click Advanced Setup > Layer2 Interface > PTM Interface and then click Add. The following page appears.

2.Modify the settings as desired.

3.Click Apply/Save to commit your changes.

The fields on this page are explained in the following table.

Field Name	Description

Weighted Round Robin	Time slices are assigned to each process in equal portions and in circular order, hand-
	ling all processes without priority (also known as cyclic executive).
Weighted Fair Queuing	A data packet scheduling technique allowing different scheduling priorities to be
	assigned to statistically multiplexed data flows. Since each data flow has its own
	queue, an ill-behaved flow (that sent larger packets or more packets per second than
	the others since it became active) will only affect itself and not other sessions.
Default Queue Weight	Enter a default weight of the specified queue. Options are: 1-63.
Default Queue Pre-	Enter a precedence for the specified queue. Options are: 1-8.
cedence
Default Queue Minimum	The default minimum rate at which traffic can pass through the queue. For no shaping,
Rate	enter -1 (disabled). Options are: 1-0 Kbps.
Default Queue Shaping	The shaping rate for the specified queue. Options are: 1-0 Kbps. The default is -1 (no

Default Queue Shaping	The maximum rate at which traffic can pass through the queue. Options are 1600 or

ETH Interface

On this page, you can configure an Ethernet interface for your gateway.

Note: If a WAN port is already configured, you must remove it before you can define a new one. The Add button does not appear until the existing port is removed. Modify or delete any WAN service that uses it. Then, return to this page and click the Remove checkbox and then click the Remove button.

1.In the left navigation bar, click Advanced Setup > Layer2 Interface > ETH Interface. If no WAN port is configured, the following page appears.

2.Click Add.

3.If a WAN port is already configured or you clicked Add, the following page appears.

4.Select the LAN port you wish to act as a WAN port.
