are on the same line. If you have ISDN line or telephone and
your ADSL is coming over ISDN, you need to use Annex B.
The VMG is a VDSL modem, which provides fast Internet access over a plain telephone wire. After you
make the connections and turn it on, the VMG can automatically access the Internet. Refer to Section
18.3 on page 68 if you cannot access the Internet.
It also supports VDSL bonding that allows the combining of DSL connections for even faster speeds.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) where UPnP devices can dynamically join the VMG network is also
supported.
You can use the Web Configurator to view traffic statistics, upload firmware and allow external
management of the VMG.
1.2 Example Applications
This section shows a few examples of using the VMG in various network environments. Note that the
VMG in the figure is just an example VMG and not your actual VMG.
1.2.1 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.
A computer, gateway, or router can connect to the VMG’s LAN port.

DSL Bonding
DSL bonding allows the VMG to aggregate two DSL lines into a virtual connection. The VMG will have
higher bandwidth and faster transmission speed at longer distances. Note that the two DSL lines must
come from the same ISP, and they both need to support DSL bonding. Also, only DSL 1 supports
telephone service.
To set up your network for DSL bonding:
Example 1
1Connect a two-line splitter to the VMG (DSL in the figure).
2Connect two DSL lines to the two-line splitter.
3Connect the two DSL lines to two separate telephone jacks (Wall).

1.3 Manage the VMG
Use the Web Configurator for management of the VMG using a (supported) web browser.
1.4 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 Web Configurator password. Use a password that is 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.

1.5.4 RESET Button
If you forget your password or cannot access the Web Configurator, you will need to use the RESET
button to reload the factory-default configuration file. This means that you will lose all configurations
that you had previously. The password will be reset to the factory default (see the device label), and the
LAN IP address will be “192.168.1.1”.
1Make sure the POWER LED is on (not blinking).
2To set the device back to the factory default settings, press the RESET button for more than 5 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.

5.1 Log Overview
These screens allow you to determine the categories of events that the VMG logs and then display
these logs or have the VMG send them to an administrator (through email) or to a syslog server.
5.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
• Use the System Log screen to see the system logs (Section 5.2 on page 27).
• Use the Security Log screen to see the security-related logs for the categories that you select (Section
5.3 on page 27).
5.1.2 What You Need To Know
CHAPTER 5
Log
The following terms and concepts may help as you read this chapter.
Alerts and Logs
An alert is a type of log that warrants more serious attention. They include system errors, attacks (access
control) and attempted access to blocked web sites. Some categories such as System Errors consist of
both logs and alerts. You may differentiate them by their color in the View Log screen. Alerts display in
red and logs display in black.
Syslog Overview
The syslog protocol allows devices to send event notification messages across an IP network to syslog
servers that collect the event messages. A syslog-enabled device can generate a syslog message and
send it to a syslog server.
Syslog is defined in RFC 3164. The RFC defines the packet format, content and system log related
information of syslog messages. Each syslog message has a facility and severity level. The syslog facility
identifies a file in the syslog server. Refer to the documentation of your syslog program for details. The
following table describes the syslog severity levels.
Table 6 Syslog Severity Levels
CODESEVERITY
0Emergency: The system is unusable.
1Alert: Action must be taken immediately.
2Critical: The system condition is critical.
3Error: There is an error condition on the system.
4Warning: There is a warning condition on the system.
5Notice: There is a normal but significant condition on the system.
