1.1 Overview

The VMG is a wireless VDSL router and Gigabit Ethernet gateway. It has a DSL port and a Gigabit Ethernet port for super-fast Internet access. The VMG supports both Packet Transfer Mode (PTM) and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). It is backward compatible with ADSL, ADSL2 and ADSL2+ in case VDSL is not available.
Only use firmware for your VMG’s specific model. Refer to the label on the bottom of your VMG.
The VMG works over the analog telephone system, POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service). The VMG has two USB ports for sharing files via a USB storage device or connecting a 3G dongle for a WAN backup connection.
CHAPTER 1

Introducing the VMG

1.2 Ways to Manage the VMG

Use any of the following methods to manage the VMG.
• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the VMG using a (supported) web browser.
• TR-069. This is an auto-configuration server used to remotely configure your device.

1.3 Good Habits for Managing the VMG

Do the following things regularly to make the VMG more secure and to manage the VMG 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 VMG to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the VMG. You could simply restore your last configuration.

1.4 Applications for the VMG

Here are some example uses for which the VMG is well suited.
1.4.1 Internet Access
Your VMG provides shared Internet access by connecting the DSL port to the DSL or MODEM jack on a splitter or your telephone jack. You can have multiple WAN services over one ADSL or VDSL. The VMG cannot work in ADSL and VDSL mode at the same time.
Note: The ADSL and VDSL lines share the same WAN (layer-2) interfaces that you
configure in the VMG. Refer to Section 6.2 on page 63 for the Network Setting > Broadband screen.
Computers can connect to the VMG’s LAN ports (or wirelessly).
Figure 1 VMG’s Internet Access Application
You can also configure IP filtering on the VMG 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.
1.4.2 VMG’s USB Support
The USB port of the VMG is used for file-sharing and media server.

File Sharing
Use the built-in USB 2.0 port to share files on a USB memory stick or a USB hard drive (B). You can connect one USB hard drive to the VMG at a time. Use FTP to access the files on the USB device.
Figure 2 USB File Sharing Application
Media Server
You can also use the VMG as a media server. This lets anyone on your network play video, music, and photos from a USB device (B) connected to the VMG’s USB port (without having to copy them to another computer).

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 “1234”.
1 Make sure the PWR/SYS 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 PWR/SYS LED begins to blink and then release it. When the PWR/SYS LED begins to blink, the defaults have been restored and the device restarts.

1.7 Wireless Access

The VMG is a wireless Access Point (AP) for wireless clients, such as notebook computers or PDAs and iPads. It allows them to connect to the Internet without having to rely on inconvenient Ethernet cables.
You can configure your wireless network in either the built-in Web Configurator, or using the WPS button.
Figure 5 Wireless Access Example
Chapter 1 Introducing the VMG
1.7.1 Using the Wi-Fi and WPS Buttons
If the wireless network is turned off, press the WPS button for one second. Once the 2.4 G WLAN/ WPS or 5G WLAN/WPS LED turns green, the wireless network is active.
You can also use the WPS On/Off button to quickly set up a secure wireless connection between the VMG and a WPS-compatible client by adding one device at a time.
To activate WPS:
1 Make sure the PWR/SYS LED is on and not blinking.
2 Press the WPS button for two seconds and release it.
3 Press the WPS button on another WPS-enabled device within range of the VMG. The 2.4G WLA N/
WPS or 5G WLAN/WPS LED flashes orange while the VMG sets up a WPS connection with the other wireless device.
4 Once the connection is successfully made, the 2.4G WLAN/WPS or 5G WLAN/WPS LED shines
green.
To turn off the wireless network, press the WPS button for one to five seconds. The 2.4G WLAN/ WPS or 5G WLAN/WPS LED turns off when the wireless network is off.

• JavaScript (enabled by default).
• Java permissions (enabled by default).
2.1.1 Accessing the Web Configurator
1 Make sure your VMG hardware is properly connected (refer to the Quick Start Guide).
2 Launch your web browser. If the VMG does not automatically re-direct you to the login screen, go to
http://192.168.1.1.
3 A password screen displays. To access the administrative web configurator and manage the VMG,
type the default username admin and password 1234 in the password screen and click Login. If advanced account security is enabled (see Section 30.2 on page 233) the number of dots that appears when you type the password changes randomly to prevent anyone watching the password field from knowing the length of your password. If you have changed the password, enter your password and click Login.
