Syntax Conventions
• The P-870HNU-51b may be referred to as the “Device”, the “device”, the “system” or the
“product” in this User’s Guide.
• Product labels, screen names, field labels and field choices are all in bold font.
• A key stroke is denoted by square brackets and uppercase text, for example, [ENTER] means the
“enter” or “return” key on your keyboard.
• “Enter” means for you to type one or more characters and then press the [ENTER] key. “Select”
or “choose” means for you to use one of the predefined choices.
• A right angle bracket ( > ) within a screen name denotes a mouse click. For example,
Maintenance > Log > Log Setting means you first click Maintenance in the navigation panel,
then the Log sub menu and finally the Log Setting tab to get to that screen.
• Units of measurement may denote the “metric” value or the “scientific” value. For example, “k”
for kilo may denote “1000” or “1024”, “M” for mega may denote “1000000” or “1048576” and so
on.
• “e.g.,” is a shorthand for “for instance”, and “i.e.,” means “that is” or “in other words”.
Icons Used in Figures
Figures in this User’s Guide may use the following generic icons. The Device icon is not an exact
representation of your device.

Introducing the Device
This chapter introduces the main applications and features of the Device. It also introduces the
ways you can manage the Device.
1.1 Overview
The Device is a VDSL2 gateway that allows super-fast, secure Internet access over analog (POTS)
telephone lines. It supports both Packet Transfer Mode (PTM) and Asynchronous Transfer Mode
(ATM). You can have multiple ADSL (ADSL, ADSL2, ADSL2+) connections or multiple VDSL (VDSL,
VDSL2) connections.
you can use Quality of Service (QoS) to efficiently manage traffic on your network by giving priority
to certain types of traffic and/or to particular computers.
Please refer to the following description of the product name format.
• “H” denotes an integrated 4-port hub (switch).
• “N” denotes IEEE 802.11n. The “N” models support IEEE 802.11n wireless connection mode.
• “U” denotes a USB port used to set up a 3G WAN connection via a 3G wireless card or share files
via a USB memory stick or a USB hard drive. The Device can also function as a print server with
an USB printer connected.
Only use firmware for your Device’s specific model. Refer to the label on
the bottom of your Device.
Models ending in “1”, for example P-870HNU-51b, denote a device that works over the analog
telephone system, POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service).
See Chapter 24 on page 255 for a full list of features.
1.2 Ways to Manage the Device
Use any of the following methods to manage the Device.
• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the Device using a
(supported) web browser.

1.3 Good Habits for Managing the Device
Do the following things regularly to make the Device more secure and to manage the Device more
effectively.
• 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 Device to its factory default settings. If you
backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the Device. You
could simply restore your last configuration.
1.4 Applications for the Device
Here are some example uses for which the Device is well suited.
1.4.1 Internet Access
Your Device provides shared Internet access by connecting the DSL port to the DSL or MODEM
jack on a splitter or your telephone jack. Computers can connect to the Device’s LAN ports (or

wirelessly). You can have multiple WAN services over one ADSL or VDSL line. The Device cannot
work in ADSL and VDSL mode at the same time.

You can also configure IP filtering on the Device for secure Internet access. When the IP filter is on,
all incoming traffic from the Internet to your network is blocked by default unless it is initiated from
your network. This means that probes from the outside to your network are not allowed, but you
can safely browse the Internet and download files.
1.5 The WLAN/WPS Button
You can use the WLAN/WPS button ( ) at the rear panel of the device to turn the wireless LAN
off or on. You can also use it to activate WPS in order to quickly set up a wireless network with
strong security.
1.5.1 Turn the Wireless LAN Off or On
1 Make sure the POWER LED is on (not blinking).
2 Press the WLAN/WPS button for three seconds and release it. The WLAN/WPS LED should change
from on to off or vice versa.

1.5.2 Activate WPS
1 Make sure the POWER LED is on (not blinking).
2 Press the WLAN/WPS button for more than eight seconds and release it. Press the WPS button on
another WPS -enabled device within range of the Device. The WLAN/WPS LED should flash while
the Device sets up a WPS connection with the wireless device.
Note: You must activate WPS in the Device and in another wireless device within two
minutes of each other. See Section 7.8.4 on page 144 for more information.
1.6 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 you
will lose all configurations that you had previously and the password will be reset to the default.
1.6.1 Using the Reset Button
1 Make 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.

2.2 How to Set up Your VDSL Connection for Internet
Access
To access the Internet, you need to configure a layer-2 interface to allow users to use the DSL port
on the Device. Then set up a WAN service (connection) for the interface.
This example shows you how to set up a VDSL connection using PPPoE. You need to create a WAN
interface in the Network > WAN > Layer 2 Interface screen, then enter Internet access settings
for the WAN interface in the Network > WAN > Internet Connection screen.

1 Go to Network > WAN > Layer 2 Interface. By default, you can only have one PTM interface on
the Device and there is one PTM interface configured already.
2 Go to Network > WAN > Internet Connection, click Add to create a new WAN service using
PPPoE through the existing PTM interface.
3 Select the PTM layer-2 interface (ptm0/(0_1_1) in this example). Click Next.

2.3 How to Set up a Secure Wireless Network
Thomas wants to set up a wireless network so that he can use his notebook to access the Internet.
In this wireless network, the Device serves as an access point (AP), and the notebook with a
wireless network card or USB/PCI adapter is the wireless client (C). The wireless client can access
the Internet through the AP.

Thomas has to configure the wireless network settings on the Device. Then he can set up a wireless
network using WPS (Section 2.3.2 on page 33) or manual configuration (Section 2.3.3 on page 37).
2.3.1 Configuring the Wireless Network Settings
This example uses the following parameters to set up a wireless network.
SSID
