Introducing the Device

1.1 Overview

The Device is a wireless VDSL router and Gigabit Ethernet gateway. It has two DSL ports and Gigabit Ethernet for super-fast Internet access over analog (POTS) telephone lines. If the DSLAM of the ISP supports bonding function, the two DSL ports on the Device can be connected to two separate telephone jacks to provide increased throughput at longer distances. The Device 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. The Device also provides IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless networking to extend the range of your existing wired network without additional wiring. The VMG4380-B10A models also include Home Phoneline

• VMG4380-B10A has Home Phoneline Networking Alliance (HPNA) capability.

Only use firmware for your Device’s specific model. Refer to the label on the bottom of your Device.

The Device has a USB port used to share files via a USB memory stick or a USB hard drive.

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.

•TR-069. This is an auto-configuration server used to remotely configure your device.

1.3Good 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.

VMG4380-B10A / VMG4325-B10A User’s Guide

Chapter 1 Introducing the Device

•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.

1.4Applications 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. You can have multiple WAN services over one ADSL or VDSL. The Device 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 Device. Refer to Section 6.2 on page 79 for the Network Setting > Broadband screen.

Computers can connect to the Device’s LAN ports (or wirelessly).

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 HomePNA

Models with HPNA comply with HomePNA (Home Phoneline Networking Alliance, also known as HPNA) 3.1, a home networking technology for carrying data over existing coaxial cables and telephone wiring.

The figure below shows your Device (A) connecting to a phone line outlet for DSL Internet access and a coaxial outlet to relay Internet connectivity to other coaxial outlets in the building. The laptop (B) connects wirelessly to the Device. The set-up box (C) connects into a coaxial outlet in another part of the house for access to online videos.

1.4.3 Device’s USB Support

The USB port of the Device is used for file-sharing.

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 Device at a time. Use FTP to access the files on the USB device.

Figure 3 USB File Sharing Application

Media Server

You can also use the Device as a media server. This lets anyone on your network play video, music, and photos from a USB device (B) connected to the Device’s USB port (without having to copy them to another computer).

1.6The 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 thefact ory-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 POWER LED is on (not blinking).

VMG4380-B10A / VMG4325-B10A User’s Guide

Chapter 1 Introducing the Device

2To 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.

1.7Wireless Access

The Device is a wireless Access Point (AP) for wirele ss 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 6 Wireless Access Example

1.7.1 Using the WLAN/WPS Button

If the wireless network is turned off, press the WLAN/WPS button at the back of the Device for one second. Once the WLAN/WPS LED turns green, the wireless network is active.

You can also use the WLAN/WPS button to quickly set up a secure wireless connection between the Device and a WPS-compatible client by adding one device at a time.

To activate WPS:

1Make sure the POWER LED is on and not blinking.

2Press the WLAN/WPS button for five seconds and release it.

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

4Once the connection is successfully made, the WLAN/WPS LED shines green.

To turn off the wireless network, press the WLAN/WPS button on the front of the Device for one to five seconds. The WLAN/WPS LED turns off when the wireless network is off.
