Syntax Conventions
• P-870MH-C1 is an abbreviation of the complete product name.
• Product labels, screen names, field labels and field choices are all in bold font.
• Command keywords are in courier new font.
• User input fields are enclosed in angle brackets <>.
sys hostname <hostname>
• In commands, the vertical bar | means “or”.
vlanQoS modechane <0|1>
• In commands, optional fields are enclosed in square brackets []. The User’s Guide
explains what happens if you do or do not enter the value in the square brackets.
sys stdio [<0..3600>]
• 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.

CHAPTER 1
Introducing the P-870MH-C1
This chapter introduces the main applications and features of the P-870MH-C1. It also
introduces the ways you can manage the P-870MH-C1.
1.1 Overview
The P-870MH-C1 is a VDSL modem with a four-port switch. VDSL offers high-speed
Internet access, which is ideal for data, voice, and video services (also known as Triple Play
Service). The four-port switch lets you connect up to four computers to the P-870MH-C1. See
Appendix A on page 67 for a complete list of features.
The P-870MH-C1 is designed for high-speed Internet access at home.
Figure 1 High-speed Internet Access with the P-870MH-C1
Connect your computer(s) to the P-870MH-C1. The P-870MH-C1 uses the phone line to
provide high-speed Internet access to the computer(s). You can continue to use the phone line
for regular phone calls as well. See the Quick Start Guide for instructions to make these
connections.
1.2 Ways to Manage the P-870MH-C1
Use any of the following methods to manage the P-870MH-C1.
• SMT (System Management Terminal) (Chapter 2 on page 23). This is the recommended
method for device configuration and management. You can use the SMT to configure
most of the settings on the P-870MH-C1.
• Command interface (Chapter 5 on page 41). Only use the commands to configure
advanced settings not configurable in the SMT.
• FTP for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore (Chapter 4 on page 35)
P-870MH-C1 User’s Guide

Chapter 1 Introducing the P-870MH-C1
1.3 Good Habits for Managing the P-870MH-C1
Do the following things regularly to make the P-870MH-C1 more secure and to manage the P870MH-C1 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 P-870MH-C1 to its factory default settings. If
you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the P870MH-C1. You could simply restore your last configuration.

CHAPTER 2
Introducing the SMT
This chapter explains how to access and navigate the System Management Terminal and gives
an overview of its menus.
2.1 SMT Introduction
The P-870MH-C1’s SMT (System Management Terminal) is a menu-driven interface that you
can access from a terminal emulator over a telnet connection. This chapter shows you how to
access the SMT (System Management Terminal) menus via Telnet, how to navigate the SMT
and how to configure SMT menus.
2.1.1 Procedure for SMT Configuration via Telnet
The following procedure details how to telnet into your P-870MH-C1.
1 In Windows, click Start (usually in the bottom left corner), Run and then type "
192.168.1.2
2 Enter “
3 After entering the password you will see the main menu.
Please note that if there is no activity for longer than five minutes (default timeout period)
after you log in, your P-870MH-C1 will automatically log you out. You will then have to telnet
into the P-870MH-C1 again.
2.1.2 Entering Password
The login screen appears after you press [ENTER], prompting you to enter the password, as
shown next.
For your first login, enter the default password "
displays an asterisk "
Please note that if there is no activity for longer than five minutes after you log in, your P870MH-C1 will automatically log you out.
