This chapter introduces the main features and applications of your P-79X.
1.1 Overview
P-793H v3
The P-793H v3 is a secure G.SHDSL.bis bonded broadway gateway that provides high-speed LANto-LAN connection and Internet access over the your telephone. It supports symmetrical multi-rate
data transmission speed that adjusts the data rate automatically according to the quality of the wire
connection.
You can set up your P-793H v3 for high-speed Internet access or for high-speed point-to-point or
point-to-2 points connections with other SHDSL models. The P-793H v3 can be used for either IP
routing or bridging depending on your network configuration. As a router, the P-793H v3 provides
features such as firewall, content filtering and bandwidth management. As a bridge, the P-793H v3
minimizes the configuration changes you have to make in your existing network.

G.SHDSL
1.1.1 High-speed Internet Access with G.SHDSL
The P-79X provides high-speed G.SHDSL Internet access. The G.SHDSL (Single-pair High-speed
Digital Subscriber Line) is a symmetrical, bi-directional DSL service that uses your telephone line to
provide data rates up to 2.3 Mbits/sec. (The “G.” in “G.SHDSL” is defined by the G.991.2 ITU
(International Telecommunication Union) state-of-the-art industry standard). Unlike ADSL or
VDSL, G.SHDSL.bis supports the same high speed for transmission and receiving.
Figure 1 High-speed Internet Access with Your P-79X
For Internet access, connect the DSL port to the phone port. Then, connect your computers or
servers to the LAN ports for shared Internet access. (See the Quick Start Guide for detailed
instructions about hardware connections.) Next, set up the P-79X as a router or as a bridge,
depending on the desired configuration.
1.1.2 High-speed Point-to-point Connections
You can use another P-79X or any SHDSL device with the P-79X to create a cost-effective, highspeed connection for high-bandwidth applications such as videoconferencing and distance learning.
Figure 2 Point-to-point Connections with Your P-79X
The P-79Xs provide a simple, fast point-to-point connection between two geographically-dispersed
networks.
1.1.3 High-speed Point-to-2points Connections
Use three P-79Xs or 2 SHDSL devices with the P-79X to connect two remote networks to a central
location. For example, connect the headquarters to two branch offices. In this scenario the central
P-79X acts in a similar way as an Internet service provider.

point-to-2points connections.
1.2 Ways to Manage the P-79X
Use any of the following methods to manage the P-79X.
• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the P-79X using a
(supported) web browser. See Chapter 2 on page 19.
• Command Line Interface. Line commands are mostly used for troubleshooting by service
engineers. See Appendix H on page 471.
• SMT. System Management Terminal is a text-based configuration menu that you can use to
configure your device. See Chapter 25 on page 260.
• FTP. Use File Transfer Protocol for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore. See
Chapter 17 on page 243.
• SNMP. The device can be monitored and/or managed by an SNMP manager. See Chapter 17 on
page 243.
• TR-069. This is a standard that defines how your P-79X can be managed by a management
server. See Chapter 17 on page 243.
1.3 Good Habits for Managing the P-79X
Do the following things regularly to make the P-79X more secure and to manage the P-79X more
effectively.
P-79X Series User’s Guide
15
• Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of different
types of characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier
working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you
forget your password, you will have to reset the P-79X to its factory default settings. If you
backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the P-79X. You
could simply restore your last configuration.

1.5 The RESET Button
If you forget your password or cannot access the web configurator, you will need to use the RESET
button at the back of the device to reload the factory-default configuration file. This means that y ou
will lose all configurations that you had previously and the password will be reset to “1234”.
1.5.1 Using the RESET Button
1 Mak e sure the POWER LED is on (not blinking).
2 To set the device back to the factory default settings, press the RESET button for ten seconds or
until the POWER LED begins to blink and then release it. When the POWER LED begins to blink,
the defaults have been restored and the device restarts.

Introducing the Web Configurator
2.1 Web Configurator Overview
The web configurator is an HTML-based management interface that allows easy P-79X setup and
management via Internet browser. Use Internet Explorer 11.0 and later versions, Mozilla Firefox
43.04 and later versions, Google Chrome 32.0 and later versions, or Microsoft Edge 20.0 and later
versions. The recommended screen resolution is 1024 by 768 pixels. In order to use the web
configurator you need to allow:
• Web browser pop-up windows from your device. Web pop-up blocking is enabled by default in
Windows XP SP (Service Pack) 2.
• JavaScripts (enabled by default).
• Java permissions (enabled by default).
See the chapter on troubleshooting if you need to make sure these functions are allowed in Internet
Explorer.
CHAPTER 2
Note: This guide uses the P-793H v3 screens as an example. The screens may vary
slightly for different models.
2.2 Accessing the Web Configurator
1 Make sure your P-79X hardware is properly connected (refer to the Quick Start Guide).
2 Launch your web browser.
3 Type "192.168.1.1" as the URL.
4 A password screen displays. The P-79X has a dual login system. The default non-readable
characters represents the user password (user by default). Clicking Login without entering any
password brings you to the system’s status screen. To access the administrative web
configurator and manage the P-79X, type the admin password (1234 by default) in the password
screen and click Login. Click Cancel to revert to the default user password in the password field. If
you have changed the password, enter your password and click Login.
