33.1 Overview
The Diagnostic screens display information to help you identify problems with the EMG.
The route between a CO VDSL switch and one of its CPE may go through switches owned by
independent organizations. A connectivity fault point generally takes time to discover and impacts
subscriber’s network access. In order to eliminate the management and maintenance efforts, IEEE
802.1ag is a Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) specification which allows network administrators to
identify and manage connection faults. Through discovery and verification of the path, CFM can
detect, analyze and isolate connectivity faults in bridged LANs.
33.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
• The Ping & TraceRoute & NsLookup screen lets you ping an IP address or trace the route packets take
to a host (Section 33.3 on page 209).
CHAPTER 33
Diagnostic
33.2 What You Need to Know
The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter.
How CFM Works
A Maintenance Association (MA) defines a VLAN and associated Maintenance End Point (MEP) ports
on the device under a Maintenance Domain (MD) level. An MEP port has the ability to send
Connectivity Check Messages (CCMs) and get other MEP ports information from neighbor devices’
CCMs within an MA.
CFM provides two tests to discover connectivity faults.
• Loopback test - checks if the MEP port receives its Loop Back Response (LBR) from its target after it
sends the Loop Back Message (LBM). If no response is received, there might be a connectivity fault
between them.
• Link trace test - provides additional connectivity fault analysis to get more information on where the
fault is. If an MEP port does not respond to the source MEP, this may indicate a fault. Administrators
can take further action to check and resume services from the fault according to the line
connectivity status report.

34.2 EMG Access and Login
I forgot the IP address for the EMG.
1The default LAN IP address is 192.168.200.1.
2If you changed the IP address and have forgotten it, you might get the IP address of the EMG by looking
up the IP address of the default gateway for your computer. To do this in most Windows computers, click
Start > Run, enter cmd, and then enter ipconfig. The IP address of the Default Gateway might be the IP
address of the EMG (it depends on the network), so enter this IP address in your Internet browser.
3If this does not work, you have to reset the device to its factory defaults. See Section 1.6 on page 17.
I cannot see or access the Login screen in the web configurator.
1Make sure you are using the correct IP address.
• The default IP address is 192.168.200.1.
• If you changed the IP address (Section 7.2 on page 90), use the new IP address.
• If you changed the IP address and have forgotten it, see the troubleshooting suggestions for I
forgot the IP address for the EMG.
2Check the hardware connections, and make sure the LEDs are behaving as expected. See Section 1.5
on page 15.
3Make sure your Internet browser does not block pop-up windows and has JavaScripts and Java
enabled.
4If it is possible to log in from another interface, check the service control settings for HTTP and HTTPS
(Maintenance > Remote MGMT).
5Reset the device to its factory defaults, and try to access the EMG with the default IP address. See
Section 1.6 on page 17.
6If the problem continues, contact the network administrator or vendor, or try one of the advanced
suggestions.
Advanced Suggestions
• Make sure you have logged out of any earlier management sessions using the same user account
even if they were through a different interface or using a different browser.
• Try to access the EMG using another service, such as Telnet. If you can access the EMG, check the
remote management settings and firewall rules to find out why the EMG does not respond to HTTP.

34.4 Wireless Internet Access
What factors may cause intermittent or unstabled wireless connection? How can I solve this
problem?
The following factors may cause interference:
• Obstacles: walls, ceilings, furniture, and so on.
• Building Materials: metal doors, aluminum studs.
• Electrical devices: microwaves, monitors, electric motors, cordless phones, and other wireless devices.
To optimize the speed and quality of your wireless connection, you can:
• Move your wireless device closer to the AP if the signal strength is low.
• Reduce wireless interference that may be caused by other wireless networks or surrounding wireless
electronics such as cordless phones.
EMG3415-B10A User’s Guide
213
• Place the AP where there are minimum obstacles (such as walls and ceilings) between the AP and
the wireless client.
• Reduce the number of wireless clients connecting to the same AP simultaneously, or add additional
APs if necessary.
• Try closing some programs that use the Internet, especially peer-to-peer applications. If the wireless
client is sending or receiving a lot of information, it may have too many programs open that use the
Internet.
What is a Server Set ID (SSID)?
An SSID is a name that uniquely identifies a wireless network. The AP and all the clients within a wireless
network must use the same SSID.
