6.4.3 Connecting the Router via WAN Ethernet

This section provides the installation instructions for connecting the Router via WAN Ethernet. The advantage to using the WAN Ethernet feature is that it allows you to connect multiple devices to your LAN beyond the number of physical ports provided by your Router. In this configuration, an Ethernet cable is used to connect the Router to a switch, gateway, or other VDSL2 device. Then, the other VDSL2 device makes the WAN connection to the Internet while still allowing you to use many of the networking features provided in the Router.

If you want to install your Router so that it connects to another VDSL2 device, follow the steps below:

1. Connect the attached VDSL2 device to the jack provisioned with VDSL2 on the wall, using the RJ-11 phone

cord that was provided with the kit. If you are using a microfilter at the wall jack, you must connect the RJ-11 VDSL2 phone cable from the VDSL2 port of the VDSL2 device to the VDSL2 port of the microfilter.

NOTE: The VDSL2 device to which you are connecting will function as your WAN interface to the Internet. Be sure you have connected the VDSL2 device appropriately. If needed, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Connect the yellow Ethernet cable (provided with your kit) from the Ethernet jack marked WAN on the rear

panel of the Router to the Ethernet port on the attached VDSL2 device, and then turn on the power switch of the attached VDSL2 device (if it is not already on).

NOTE: Later, in Router’s Web pages, be sure to configure the Router’s WAN interface for “Ethernet” via the WAN VDSL2 Properties screen. When the Router’s WAN interface is configured for “Ethernet,” the Router’s

VDSL2 transceiver is not used to make the WAN connection. Instead the VDSL2 device to which the Router is connected will be your WAN interface to the Internet.

3. Connect an Ethernet cable from any one of the three Ethernet jacks marked E2, E3, or E4 on the rear panel of

the Router to the Ethernet port on your computer. Repeat this step to connect up to three additional PCs to the Router; each jack serves an Ethernet switch.

4. Connect the power supply cord to the power connector marked 12 VDC on the rear panel of the Router. Plug

the other end of the power supply into an AC wall socket, and then power up the Router.

5. Check to see if the Router’s POWER LED is solid green. This indicates that the Router is powered on.

6. Check to see if the ETHERNET LED is solid green. Solid green indicates that the Ethernet connection is

functioning properly. Check the ETHERNET LED for the Ethernet jack you are using on the Router.

7. After you have logged on to your account and established an Internet connection, as explained later in section 7,

check to see if the Router’s INTERNET LED is solid green. Solid green indicates that an Internet link has been established. (Flashing green indicates the presence of IP traffic.)

Congratulations! You have completed the WAN Ethernet installation for your Router. Now proceed to section 7 to access the Router’s Web pages.

2. Obtain a coax cable and connect one end into your high-speed wall outlet port. Connect the other end into your

set-top box.

3. Power up your set-top box.

4. Connect the power supply cord to the power connector marked 12 VDC on the rear panel of the Router. Plug

the other end of the power supply into an AC wall socket, and then power up the Router.

5. Connect the Ethernet cable (provided with your kit) from any one of the four Ethernet jacks marked Ethernet 1,

E2, E3, E4 on the rear panel of the Router to the Ethernet port on your computer. Repeat this step to connect up to three additional PCs to the Router.

NOTE: Use any of the four LAN Ethernet jacks on the Router’s rear panel; each jack serves as an Ethernet switch.

6. Connect a COAX cable from the connector marked COAX on the rear panel of the Router to a COAX

connector on the wall.

7. Check to see if the Router’s POWER LED is solid green. This indicates that the Router is powered on.

8. Check to see if the Router’s ETHERNET LED is solid green. Solid green indicates that the Ethernet

connection is functioning properly. Check the ETHERNET LED for each Ethernet jack to which you are connected at the rear of the Router.

9. Check to see if the Router’s MoCA LED is solid green. This means the MoCA connection is functioning

properly.

10. After you have logged in to you account and established an Internet connection, as explained later in section 9,

check to see if the Router’s INTERNET LED is solid green. Solid green indicates that the Internet link has been established. (Flashing green indicates the presence of IP traffic.)

The SSID is the name of your wireless network. This string is case-sensitive and must be 30 characters or less. To connect to the Router, the SSID on a computer’s wireless card must be identical the SSID on the Router. The Router comes pre-configured with the SSID; however, you can change the SSID to any name or code you want.

Channel This is the channel of the frequency band at which the Router communicates.

The Router transmits and receives data on this channel. The number of channels to choose from is pre-programmed into the Router. A computer’s wireless card does not have to be set to the same channel as the Router; the wireless card can scan all channels and look for a Router to connect to. (In the United States, use channels 1 through 11). For better performance, select a channel that is not being used or being used the least by other wireless devices such as cordless phones or other Routers in the area . If "Automatic" is selected, the Router will determine the optimal channel to use.

WEP Security Factory Default = OTHER SECURITY

WEP security encrypts the Router's wireless traffic and prevents unauthorized access to the Router's network. If "OTHER SECURITY" is selected by default, it means that current

WEP Key Length A WEP encryption key is used to protect your wireless transmissions. These keys are of

varying lengths. The key can include the numbers 0-9 and letters a,b,c,d,e, and f. The number of characters must be either 10 (for 64/40 bit encryption) or 26 (for 104 bit encryption). If this page is used to configure WEP, key 1 will be used as the active key. You should note this value as you will have to enter it into each device which is connecting wirelessly

WEP Key This is the actual security key value. You should note this value as you will have to enter it

into each device which is connecting wirelessly. Number of Required Digits Configure Wireless Client Settings to match Router’s settings

This field indicates how many more characters are needed to complete the security key.

The security key is not complete unless this counter indicates 0.

For wireless clients, such as computers and other devices with wireless cards to establish a

wireless connection to this Router, the clients' settings, especially the SSID, channel,

wireless mode, and security (i.e., WEP) settings must match the Router's settings as

summarized in the table. If channel is set to Automatic, the Router will determine the

optimal channel to use. (If settings, particularly if using advance security options, are

changed in other or "Advanced" sections, the sections where the changes were made must

be consulted for reference.)

Select cts_only to activate this feature.

Select cts_rts to activate this feature. Beacon Interval (in milliseconds)

Enter the beacon interval value.

The beacon interval is the time between beacon frame transmissions. Beacons are

transmitted by the Router to help identify wireless networks. Beacons contain rate and

capability information. Beacons received by stations can be used to identify the wireless

access points in the area. DTIM Interval (in milliseconds)

Enter the DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) interval value. A DTIM is a

countdown mechanism for the Router. It informs wireless network clients of the next

window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. Fragmentation Threshold Setting the fragmentation threshold can increase the reliability of frame transmissions on

the wireless network. Any MAC Service Data Unit (MSDU) or MAC Protocol Data Unit

(MPDU) larger than this value will be fragmented into an MPDU of the specified size. RTS Threshold Enter the RTS (Request to Send) threshold. This setting controls what size data packet the

low level RF protocol issues to an RTS packet.

RTS/CTS handshaking will be performed for any data or management MPDU containing a

number of bytes greater than the threshold. If this value is larger than the MSDU size

(typically set by the fragmentation threshold), no handshaking will be performed. A value

of zero will enable handshaking for all MPDUs. Wireless Security When this feature is enabled (the box contains a check mark), wireless security is activated,

and the security type can be configured.

When the box is clear, wireless security is deactivated. By factory default, Wireless

Security is disabled. Stations Security Type Set the type of security for the Router’s wireless network. Choose from the following

options: WPA, WPA2, WPA and WPA2, 802.1x WEP, Non-802.1x WEP, Authentication

Only. Details on these options are discussed later in this section. Authentication Method This is the authentication method used with the security type.
