Introducing the VMG

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.

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.

1.3Good 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).

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.

Chapter 1 Introducing the VMG

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”.

1Make sure the PWR/SYS LED is on (not blinking).

2To 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

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 2.4G 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:

1Make sure the PWR/SYS LED is on and not blinking.

2Press the WPS button for two seconds and release it.

3Press the WPS button on another WPS-enabled device within range of the VMG. The 2.4G WLAN/ WPS or 5G WLAN/WPS LED flashes orange while the VMG sets up a WPS connection with the other wireless device.

4Once 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.

The Web Configurator

2.1 Overview

The web configurator is an HTML-based management interface that allows easy VMG setup and management via Internet browser. Use Internet Explorer 8.0 and later versions or Mozilla Firefox 3 and later versions or Safari 2.0 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 VMG. Web pop-up blocking is enabled by default in Windows XP SP (Service Pack) 2.

•JavaScript (enabled by default).

•Java permissions (enabled by default).

2.1.1Accessing the Web Configurator

1Make sure your VMG hardware is properly connected (refer to the Quick Start Guide).

2Launch your web browser. If the VMG does not automatically re-direct you to the login screen, go to http://192.168.1.1.

3A 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.

4The Quick Start Wizard screen appears. You can configure basic Internet access, and wireless settings. See Chapter 3 on page 29 for more information.
