GETTING FAMILIAR WITH YOUR GATEWAY

This section contains a quick description of the Gateway's lights, ports, and buttons. SmartRG produces several models that vary slightly in capabilities (See Appendix B for details) but the basic scheme of lights, ports and buttons represented in this section exists on each model.

LED Status Indicators

Your SmartRG gateway has several indicator lights (LEDs) on its exterior. The number and type of ports vary from model to model. The following table illustrates a comprehensive set of LEDs to cover the indicators available on all models.

Connections

Below is a generic representation of a SmartRG gateway, Your specific model may have more or fewer ports and controls across the back of the unit. Refer to the Quick Start Guide enclosed with your gateway for specifics regarding installation of your particular model.

The ports depicted in this example are described below.

DSL

The grey RJ12 port labeled DSL is specifically intended for connection to an internet provider via a DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) service. The center pair carries the first DSL line. For models like the SR550n equipped with two DSL ports and bonded DSL capability, the outer pair carries the second line.

WAN

A stand-alone RJ45 port labeled WAN enables your SmartRG gateway to be hard-wired to another network device with a RJ45/Ethernet output such as a cable, fiber, or DSL modem.

For models with a stand-alone, RJ45, WAN port and a DSL port, the WAN port can be re-purposed to function as an additional LAN port when your internet connection is via DSL.

For instructions to enable this SmartPortTMfeature, see the Ethernet Configuration section in this manual.

LAN

The four (yellow) RJ45 ports across the back of your gateway labeled LAN1, LAN2, LAN3, LAN4 are the means to connect client devices such as computers and printers to your gateway.

On some models, one of these four ports may be labeled as WAN indicating SmartPortTMsupport. SmartPort allows a LAN port to be repurposed to function as an Ethernet WAN port (described above). When this port is serving as a LAN port, the corresponding LED on the face of the unit is labeled "WAN"

For instructions to enable this SmartPortTMfeature, see the Ethernet Configuration section in this manual.

USB

USB ports on SmartRG products currently provide +5 DC volts.

POWER

Use only the power supply included with your gateway. Intended for indoor use only.

External Buttons

Smart RG gateways provide push-button controls on the exterior for critical features. These buttons provide a convenient way to trigger WPS mode, toggle the WiFi radio on and off, or reset the gateway. Their presence and locations vary by model.

The following describes each of these controls.

WPS Button

The WPS button 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 "Basic" section of this manual.

WPS configures one client device at a time. You can repeat the steps as necessary for each additional WPS-compliant device you wish to connect.

The location of the WPS button varies by model:

l For SR360n models, the button is located on the top of the unit.

l For SR510n, SR550n, SR515ac, and SR552n models, the button is located on the left side of the unit.

For other models, an exterior button is not present. However, WPS is supported via the on-board software.

For specific instructions, refer to the Quick Start Guide included with your gateway.

WiFi or WLAN Button

The button labeled WiFi or WLAN (depending on model) toggles the WiFi radio on and off. The WLAN LED indicator on the gateway displays the current state of the WiFi radio.

The location of the WLAN button varies by model:

l For SR360n models, the button is located on the top of the unit.

l For SR510n, SR512nm, SR550n, and SR552n models, the button is located on the left side of the unit.

For other models, an exterior button is not present. However, WiFi is supported via the on-board software.

For specific instructions, refer to the Quick Start Guide included with your gateway.

To activate the WiFi radio, press and hold the WiFi (WLAN) button for 3-5 seconds and then release. Expect a 1-3 second delay before the WiFi (WLAN) LED turns on. Repeat this step to deactivate the WiFi radio.

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 push-button prevents the gateway from being inadvertently reset during handling. Reset must be actuated with a paper clip or similar implement.

The location of the Reset button varies by model:

l For SR5xx and SR630n models, the button is located on the rear of the unit.

l For SR350n models, the button is located on the bottom of the unit.

l For SR360n models, the button is located on the left 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.

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.

Installing your SmartRG Gateway

The following instructions explain all connection types offered for SmartRG gateways. For instructions specific to your gateway, follow the instructions in the Quick Start Guide included in the box.

1. Attach your computer's RJ45 connection to any of the SmartRG gateway's LAN ports (1-4).

2. Configure your computer's IP interface to acquire an IP address using DHCP. (For instructions on logging in to a SmartRG gateway configured for "bridge mode"operation, see the Note below.)

Logging in to your SmartRG Gateway's UI

To manually configure the SmartRG Gateway, you can access the gateway's embedded web UI.

1. Open a browser and enter the gateway's default address (usually http://192.168.1.1; may also be http://192.168.0.1) in the address bar.

2. For some models, the Network status page appears. If so, click the Manage gateway (advanced) link (usually located in the

upper right corner). The Authentication Required dialog box appears.

3. For all models, enter the default username and password (usually: admin/admin) and click Login or OK to display the default

landing page. For many models, this is the Device Info page.

Note: The gateway's UI can be accessed via the WAN connection by entering the WAN IP address in your browser's address bar and entering the default username and password: support/support. WAN HTTP access control MUST be enabled to access the gateway's UI via the WAN connection. For more information, see the Management Access Control section.

If your SmartRG gateway is configured for "bridge mode" (modem) operation, your PC will NOT be able to acquire an address via CPE DHCP. Instead, manually configure your PC's interface with an IP address on the default network (e.g., 192.168.1.100).

The remainder of this guide is dedicated to a sequential walk-through of the gateway user interface. Screen captures are provided along with descriptions of the options available on the pictured page. Where applicable, valid values are provided.

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

Field Name Description

VPI Enter a Virtual Path Identifier. A VPI is an 8-bit identifier that uniquely identifies a network

path for ATM cell packets to reach its destination. A unique VPI number is required for each ATM path. This setting works with the VCI. Each individual DSL circuit must have a unique VPI/VCI combination. String limits are: 0-255.

VCI Enter a Virtual Channel Identifier.A VCI is a 16-bit identifier that has a unique channel.

Field Name Description

Options are: 32-65535.

Select DSL Latency Select the level of DSL latency. Options are:

l Path0 Fast: No error correction and can provide lower latency on error free lines.

l Path1 Interleaved: Error checking that provides error free data which increases

latency.

l Path0&1 Both: Fast & Interleaved.

Select Link Type Select the linking protocol. EoA is the most popular with PPPoA a close second (used with

many legacy ISPs). Options are:

l EoA: Ethernet over ATM.

l PPPoA: Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM.

l IPoA: Internet Protocol over ATM.

Encapsulation Mode

Select whether multiple protocols or only one protocl is carried per PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit). Options are:

l LLC/SNAP-BRIDGING: Logical Link Control used to carry multiple protocols in a single

PVC.

l 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:

l 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.

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

l CBR: Constant Bit Rate relies on timing synchronization to make the network traffic

predictable. Used commonly in Video and Audio traffic network applications.

l NON Realtime VBR: Non Realtime Variable Bit Rate used for connections that trans-

port 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.

l 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.

Minimum Cell Rate

Certificate

On this page, you can configure certificates for the gateway. You can use Local and Trusted CA certificates on this gateway.

Local

Local certificates are used to identify the gateway to other users. On this page, you can create a new certificate request locally and have it signed by a certificate authority, or you can import an existing certificate.

For additional info regarding Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), refer to ITU-T X.509.

1. In the left navigation bar, click Advanced Setup > Certificate > Local and then click Create Certificate Request. The following

page appears.

2. Enter your connection details by completing the appropriate fields. For more information about certificates, refer to the ITU X.509 standard.

3. Click Apply to complete the request.

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

Field Name Description

Certificate Name A free-form text field used to describe the intended use of the certificate.

Common Name Enter the IPaddress (in dotted decimal notation), domain name or email address in

the field provided. The domain name or email address is for identification purposes and is a free-form text field.

Organization Name A free form text field. Typically, this is the name of the company creating the

request.

Country/Region Select the country or region in which this certificate will be employed.

4. To import a certificate and the corresponding private key, click Import Certificate. The following page appears.

5. In the Certificate Name field, type "cpecert".

6. Paste the Certificate details between the BEGIN and END markers.

7. Paste the Private Key information between the BEGIN and END markers.

Multicast

Multicast methodology is used for applications shipping information simultaneously to multiple destinations. The most common scenario is Internet television and other streaming media. In IP Multicast, the implementation occurs at the IP routing level, where routers create the most efficient distribution paths for packets sent to a destination.

On this page, you can configure the multicast settings.

1. In the left navigation bar, select Advanced Setup > Multicast. The following page appears.

2. Update or complete the necessary fields. The same fields are provided for both IGMP and MLD configuration.

3. Click Apply/Save to commit your changes.

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

Field Name Description

Multicast Precedence Select whether IGMP packets are given priority handling and at what level.

Field Name Description

Options are:

l Enable: IGMP packets are prioritized using the multicast precedence

value. The lower the multicast precedence value, the higher that IGMP packets will be placed in the queue.

l Disable: IGMP packets are not prioritized.

Multicast Strict Grouping Enforcement

and

Default Version Enter the supported IGMP version. Options are: 1 - 3.

Query Interval The interval at which the multicast router sends a query messages to hosts,

expressed in seconds.

If you enter a number below 128, the value is used directly. If you enter a number 128, it is interpreted as an exponent and mantissa.

Query Response Interval Upon receiving a query packet, a host begins counting down seconds, from a ran-

dom number. When the timer expires, the host sends its report.

Enter the maximum number of seconds that a host can pick to count down from. The value must be greater than the Query Interval. If using IGMP v1, this value is fixed at 10 seconds.

Last Member Query Interval

Enter the maximum response time within which the host must respond to the Out of Sequence query from the router. The default is 1000ms.

IGMP uses this value when the router receives an IGMPv2 Leave report indicating at least one host wants to leave the group. Upon receiving the Leave report, the router verifies whether the interface is configured for IGMP Immediate Leave. If not, the router sends the out-of-sequence query.

Robustness Value Enter the value representing the complexity of the query. The greater the value,

the more robust the query. Options are: 2 - 7.

Maximum Multicast

Enter the maximum number of groups allowed.

Groups

Maximum Multicast Data

Enter the maximum number of data sources allowed. Options are: 1 - 24.

Sources (for IGMP v3)

Maximum Multicast Group Members

Enter the maximum number of multicast groups that can be joined on a port or group of ports.
