1.1 Overview

The switch is an ADSL2+ router which allows super-fast, secure Internet access over analog (POTS) telephone lines. It supports Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). You can have ADSL, ADSL2, ADSL2+ connections.
The Device integrates DSL and NAT for ease of installation and high-speed, shared Internet access. It also provides a complete security solution with a robust firewall and content filtering. The product name format indicates the following:
• “H” denotes an integrated 4-port hub (switch).
• “N” denotes IEEE 802.11n wireless networking support.
• “U” denotes a USB port used to set up a 3G WAN connection via a 3G wireless card or share files via a USB memory stick or a USB hard drive. The Device can also function as a print server with an USB printer connected.
CHAPTER 1

Introduction

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

1.2 Ways to Manage the Device

Use any of the following methods to manage the Device.
• Web Configurator. Use a (supported) web browser to manage the Device.
• FTP for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore.
• TR-069. This auto-configuration server remotely configures your device.

1.3 Good 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.
AMG1312-T10D User’s Guide 13
Chapter 1 Introduction
DSL
LAN
• 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.

1.4 Applications for the Device

Here are some example uses for the Device.

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. Computers can connect to the Device’s LAN ports (or wirelessly).
Figure 1 Device’s Router Features
Configure firewall and filtering features on the Device for secure Internet access. Set the firewall to allow responses from the Internet for traffic initiated from your network and block traffic initiated from the Internet. This blocks probes from the outside to your network, but lets you safely browse the Internet and download files.
Use the filtering feature to block access to specific web sites or Internet applications such as MSN or Yahoo Messenger. You can also configure IP/MAC filtering rules for incoming or outgoing traffic.
Use QoS to efficiently manage traffic on your network by giving priority to certain types of traffic and/or to particular computers. For example, you could make sure that the Device gives voice over Internet calls high priority, and/or limit bandwidth devoted to the boss’s excessive file downloading.

1.5 Wireless Access

The Device serves as a wireless Access Point (AP) to let wireless clients such as notebook computers, smart phones, and tablets connect to the Internet without Ethernet cables.
14
AMG1312-T10D User’s Guide
Configure your wireless network through the Web Configurator, or the WPS button.
Figure 2 Wireless Access Example

1.5.1 Using the WLAN/WPS Button

By default, the Device’s wireless network is enabled. To turn it off, simply press the WPS/WLAN button on top of the Device for over 5 seconds. The WLAN/WPS LED turns off.
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:
Chapter 1 Introduction
1 With the POWER LED on steady, press the WLAN/WPS button for 1 second and release it.
2 Within two minutes, press the WPS button on a WPS-enabled client within range of the Device. The
WPS/WLAN LED should flash while the Device sets up a WPS connection with the client.
3 The WPS/WLAN LED shines green for a successful connection.

Chapter 1 Introduction

1.6 The RESET Button

If you forget your password or cannot access the web configurator, 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 user name and password will be reset to the default.

1.6.1 Using the Reset Button

With the POWER LED on steady, 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.

1.7 LEDs (Lights)

The following graphic displays the labels of the LEDs.
