Management
19.1 Overview
This chapter explains how to configure TR-069 and remote management on the NVG2053.
19.1.1What You Can Do in this Chapter
•Use the TR-069 screen (Section 19.5 on page 204) to configure the NVG2053’s TR-069 auto-configuration settings.
•Use the WWW screen (Section 19.5 on page 204) to configure the NVG2053’s HTTP management settings.
•Use the Telnet screen (Section 19.5 on page 204) to specify which interfaces allow Telnet access and from which IP address the access can come.
•Use the ICMP screen (Section 19.6 on page 205) to specify which of the NVG2053’s interfaces will respond to Ping requests.
19.2 What You Need To Know
Firewall Rules
When you configure remote management to allow management from any network except the LAN, you still need to configure a firewall rule to allow access. See Chapter 13 on page 251 for details on configuring firewall rules.
You can also disable a service on the NVG2053 by not allowing access for the service/protocol through any of the NVG2053 interfaces.
Remote Management Sessions
You may only have one remote management session running at a time. The NVG2053 automatically disconnects a remote management session of lower priority when another remote management session of higher priority starts. The priorities for the different types of remote management sessions are as follows.

Remote Management Limitations
Remote management does not work when:
1You have not enabled that service on the interface in the corresponding remote management screen.
2You have disabled that service in one of the remote management screens.
3The IP address in the Secured Client IP Address field does not match the client IP address. If it does not match, the NVG2053 will disconnect the session immediately.
4There is already another remote management session with an equal or higher priority running. You may only have one remote management session running at one time.
5There is a firewall rule that blocks it.
System Timeout
There is a default system management idle timeout of five minutes (three hundred seconds). The NVG2053 automatically logs you out if the management session remains idle for longer than this timeout period. The management session does not time out when a statistics screen is polling. You can change the timeout period in the Maintenance > General screen.
19.3 The TR-069 Screen
TR-069 defines how Customer Premise Equipment (CPE), for example your NVG2053, can be managed over the WAN by an Auto Configuration Server (ACS). TR-069 is based on sending Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs) between an ACS and a client device. RPCs are sent in Extensible Markup Language (XML) format over HTTP or HTTPS.
An administrator can use an ACS to remotely set up the NVG2053, modify settings, perform firmware upgrades as well as monitor and diagnose the NVG2053. You have to enable the device to be managed by the ACS and specify the ACS IP address or domain name and username and password.

|
|
Daylight Saving Time starts in the European Union on the last Sunday |
|
|
of March. All of the time zones in the European Union start using |
|
|
Daylight Saving Time at the same moment (1 A.M. GMT or UTC). So |
|
|
in the European Union you would select Last, Sunday, March. The |
|
|
time you type in the o'clock field depends on your time zone. In |
|
|
Germany for instance, you would type 2 because Germany's time |

•If you changed the IP address and have forgotten it, see the troubleshooting suggestions for I don’t know the IP address of my NVG2053.
2Check the hardware connections, and make sure the LEDs are behaving as expected. See the Quick Start Guide.
3Make sure your Internet browser does not block pop-up windows and has JavaScripts and Java enabled. See Appendix A on page 235.
4Make sure your computer is in the same subnet as the NVG2053. (If you know that there are routers between your computer and the NVG2053, skip this step.)
•If there is a DHCP server on your network, make sure your computer is using a dynamic IP address. See Section 10.3 on page 126.
•If there is no DHCP server on your network, make sure your computer’s IP address is in the same subnet as the NVG2053. See Appendix C on page 263.
5Reset the device to its factory defaults, and try to access the NVG2053 with the default IP address. See Section 24.2 on page 218.
6If the problem continues, contact the network administrator or vendor, or try one of the advanced suggestions.
Advanced Suggestion
•If your computer is connected to the WAN port or is connected wirelessly, use a computer that is connected to a LAN/ETHERNET port.
I can see the Login screen, but I cannot log in to the NVG2053.
1Make sure you have entered the password correctly. The default password is 1234. This field is case-sensitive, so make sure [Caps Lock] is not on.
2This can happen when you fail to log out properly from your last session. Try logging in again after 5 minutes (default).
3Disconnect and re-connect the power adaptor or cord to the NVG2053.
4If this does not work, you have to reset the device to its factory defaults. See Section 27.4 on page 229.

27.3 Internet Access
I cannot access the Internet.
1Check the hardware connections, and make sure the LEDs are behaving as expected. See the Quick Start Guide.
2Make sure you entered your ISP account information correctly in the wizard or Broadband screen. These fields are case-sensitive, so make sure [Caps Lock] is not on.
3If you are trying to access the Internet wirelessly, make sure the wireless settings in the wireless client are the same as the settings in the NVG2053.
4Disconnect all the cables from your device, and follow the directions in the Quick Start Guide again.
5If the problem continues, contact your ISP.
I cannot access the Internet anymore. I had access to the Internet (with the NVG2053), but my Internet connection is not available anymore.
1Check the hardware connections, and make sure the LEDs are behaving as expected. See the Quick Start Guide and Section 1.5 on page 24.
2Reboot the NVG2053.
3If the problem continues, contact your ISP.
The Internet connection is slow or intermittent.
1There might be a lot of traffic on the network. Look at the LEDs, and check Section 1.5 on page 24. If the NVG2053 is sending or receiving a lot of information, try closing some programs that use the Internet, especially peer-to-peer applications.

2Check the signal strength. If the signal strength is low, try moving the NVG2053 closer to the AP if possible, and look around to see if there are any devices that might be interfering with the wireless network (for example, microwaves, other wireless networks, and so on).
3Reboot the NVG2053.
4If the problem continues, contact the network administrator or vendor, or try one of the advanced suggestions.
Advanced Suggestions
•Check the settings for QoS. If it is disabled, you might consider activating it. If it is enabled, you might consider raising or lowering the priority for some applications.
27.4Resetting the NVG2053 to Its Factory Defaults
If you reset the NVG2053, you lose all of the changes you have made. The NVG2053 re-loads its default settings, and the password resets to 1234. You have to make all of your changes again.
You will lose all of your changes when you push the RESET button.
To reset the NVG2053,
1Make sure the power LED is on.
2Press the RESET button for longer than 10 seconds to set the NVG2053 back to its factory-default configurations.
If the NVG2053 restarts automatically, wait for the NVG2053 to finish restarting, and log in to the Web Configurator. The password is “1234”.
If the NVG2053 does not restart automatically, disconnect and reconnect the NVG2053’s power. Then, follow the directions above again.
