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 following table explains the actions of the LEDs located on the front of the SR700ac gateway.

Legend: Green Green blinking Red Red blinking

Connections

Below is a generic representation of a SmartRG gateway, Your specific model may have more or fewer ports and controls. 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 re-purposed 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

SmartRG 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.

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.

This button is located on the top of the gateway. If you have client devices that support WPS, use this button to automatically configure wireless security for your network.

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.

For specific instructions, refer to the Quick Start Guide included with your gateway. Also see the "Basic" section of this manual.

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 Wi-Fi radio. This button is located on the top of the gateway.

To activate the Wi-Fi 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 Wi-Fi 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 pushbutton prevents the gateway from being inadvertently reset during handling. Reset must be actuated with a paper clip or similar implement. This button is located on the back of the gateway.

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.

Installing your SR700ac Gateway

1. Connect one end of the phone cable to the DSL port on the gateway and connect the other end to the phone jack on the wall installed by your provider.

2. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to a LAN port on the gateway and connect the other end to your computer.

3. Plug the power adapter to the wall outlet and then connect the other end of it to the Power port of the gateway. Turn on the unit by pressing the On/Off button on the back of the gateway.

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, verify that all cable connections are in place and the gateway’s power is turned on.

Logging into your Gateway's UI

To manually configure the SmartRG Gateway, you must 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.

For in-depth "how-to" information for specific scenarios, go to the knowledge base found on our support web site. Access to this site is restricted to SmartRG customers and partners. Do not share links to this site with your subscribers.

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 tim-

ing and synchronization between the destination and source. This category is commonly used in networks with compressed video traffic.

Minimum Cell Rate

Minimum allowable rate (cells per second) at which cells can be sent on a ATM network. For no shaping, enter-1.

Field Name Description

Scheduler for Queues of Equal Precedence as the Default Queue

The algorithm used to schedule the queue behavior. VC scheduling is unique from Default Queues. Options are:

l WRR: Weighted Round Robin packets are accessed in a round robin style and classes

can be given.

l WFQ: Weighted Fair Queuing packets are assigned in a specific queue. l Default Queue Weight: The default weight of the specified queue. Options are: 1-

63.

l Default Queue Precedence: The precedence of the specified group. Options are: 1-8

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.

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.

Select Scheduler for Queues of Equal Precedence as the Default Queue

Select an algorithm for applying queue data priority. Options are:

l Weighted Round Robin: Time slices are assigned to each process in equal por-

tions and in circular order, handling all processes without priority (also known as cyclic executive).

l Weighted Fair Queuing: A data packet scheduling technique allowing dif-

ferent 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.
