1.6 3G WAN
The USB port (at the right side of the device when you
face to the front panel) allows you to wirelessly
connect to a 3G netowk to get Internet access by
attaching a 3G dongle. You must leave the VDSL
Router DSL or Ethernet WAN port unconnected and
attached a 3G dongle to use 3G as your WAN. Y ou can
also heve the VDSL Router use the 3G WAN
connection as a backup. That means the VDSL Router
switches to the 3G wireless WAN connection after the
wired DSL or Ethernet WAN connection fails. The
VDSL Router automatically changes back to use the
wired DSL or Ethernet WAN connection when it is
available.
Figure 2 Internet Access Application: 3G WAN
1.7 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 deletes all your
and the password will be reset to “1234”.
1 Make sure the Power LED is green and on (not blinking and not red or flashing red).
2 To 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.

Note: The default username and password are on the label on the bottom of the Device.
Basic Home Station VDSL2 P8802T User’s Guide
1.8 Wireless Access
The VDSL Router is a wireless Access Point (AP) for wireless clients, such as notebook computers,
smartphones, or tablets. It allows them to connect to the Internet without having to rely on
inconvenient Ethernet cables.
You can connect to y our w ireless network using the Wifi button, without having to access the Web
Configurator.
Figure 3 Wireless Access Example
Chapter 1 Introducing the VDSL Router
1.8.1 Using the Wifi Button
Note: The wireless client must be a WPS-aware device (for example, a WPS USB adapter or
PCMCIA card), which can be identified by the WPS logo
If the wireless network is turned off, press the Wifi button at the back of the VDSL Router for one
second. Once the Wifi LED turns green, the wireless network is active.
You can also use the Wifi button to quickly set up a secure wireless connection between the VDSL
Router and a WPS-compatible client by adding one device at a time.
To activate WPS:
1 Make sure the Power LED is green and not blinking.
2 Press the Wifi button for ten seconds and release it.

4.1 Overview
WAN
This chapter discusses the VDSL Router’s WAN screens. Use these screens to configure your VDSL
Router for Internet access.
A WAN (Wide Area Network) connection is an outside connection to another network or the
Internet. It connects your private networks, such as a LAN (Local Area Network) and other
networks, so that a computer in one location can communicate with computers in other locations.
Figure 14 LAN and WAN

WAN
3G (third generation) standards for the sending and receiving of voice, video, and data in a mobile
environment.
You can attach a 3G wireless adapter to the USB port and set the VDSL Router to use this 3G
connection as your WAN or a backup when the wired WAN connection fails.

Encapsulation is used to include data from an upper layer protocol into a lower layer protocol. To set
up a WAN connection to the Internet, you need to use the same encapsulation method used by your
ISP (Internet Service Provider). If your ISP offers a dial-up Internet connection using PPPoE (PPP
over Ethernet), they should also provide a username and password (and service name) for user
authentication.
WAN IP Address
The WAN IP address is an IP address for the VDSL Router, which makes it accessible from an
outside network. It is used by the VDSL Router to communicate with other devices in other
networks. It can be static (fixed) or dynamically assigned by the ISP each time the VDSL Router
tries to access the Internet.
If your ISP assigns you a static WAN IP address, they should also assign you the subnet mask and
DNS server IP address(es).
ATM
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a WAN networking technology that provides high-speed data
transfer. ATM uses fixed-size packets of information called cells. With ATM, a high QoS (Quality of
76
Basic Home Station VDSL2 P8802T User’s Guide
Chapter 4 WAN
Service) can be guaranteed. ATM uses a connection-oriented model and establishes a virtual circuit
(VC) between Finding Out More
PTM
Packet Transfer Mode (PTM) is packet-oriented and supported by the VDSL2 standard. In PTM,
packets are encapsulated directly in the High-level Data Link Control (HDLC) frames. It is designed
to provide a low-overhead, transparent way of transporting packets over DSL links, as an
alternative to ATM.
3G
3G (Third Generation) is a digital, packet-switched wireless technology. Bandwidth usage is
optimized as multiple users share the same channel and bandwidth is only allocated to users when
they send data. It allows fast transfer of voice and non-voice data and provides broadband Internet
access to mobile devices.
IPv6 Introduction
IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6), is designed to enhance IP address size and features. The
increase in IPv6 address size to 128 bits (from the 32-bit IPv4 address) allows up to 3.4 x 10
addresses. The VDSL Router can use IPv4/IPv6 dual stack to connect to IPv4 and IPv6 networks,
and supports IPv6 rapid deployment (6RD).
38
IP
IPv6 Addressing
The 128-bit IPv6 address is written as eight 16-bit hexadecimal blocks separated by colons (:). This
is an example IPv6 address 2001:0db8:1a2b:0015:0000:0000:1a2f:0000.
IPv6 addresses can be abbreviated in two ways:
• Leading zeros in a block can be omitted. So 2001:0db8:1a2b:0015:0000:0000:1a2f:0000 can
be written as 2001:db8:1a2b:15:0:0:1a2f:0.
• Any number of consecutive blocks of zeros can be replaced by a double colon. A double colon can
only appear once in an IPv6 address. So 2001:0db8:0000:0000:1a2f:0000:0000:0015 can be
written as 2001:0db8::1a2f:0000:0000:0015, 2001:0db8:0000:0000:1a2f::0015,
2001:db8::1a2f:0:0:15 or 2001:db8:0:0:1a2f::15.
IPv6 Prefix and Prefix Length
Similar to an IPv4 subnet mask, IPv6 uses an address prefix to represent the network address. An
IPv6 prefix length specifies how many most significant bits (start from the left) in the address
compose the network address. The prefix length is written as “/x” where x is a number. For
example,
2001:db8:1a2b:15::1a2f:0/32
means that the first 32 bits (2001:db8) is the subnet prefix.
Basic Home Station VDSL2 P8802T User’s Guide
77
Chapter 4 WAN
IPv6 Subnet Masking
Both an IPv6 address and IPv6 subnet mask compose of 128-bit binary digits, which are divided
into eight 16-bit blocks and written in hexadecimal notation. Hexadecimal uses four bits for each
character (1 ~ 10, A ~ F). Each block’s 16 bits are then represented by four hexadecimal
characters. For example, FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FC00:0000:0000:0000.
4.1.3 Before You Begin
You need to know your Internet access settings such as encapsulation and W AN IP address. Get this
information from your ISP.
4.2 The Layer-2 Interface ATM Screen
The VDSL Router must have a layer-2 interface to allow users to use the DSL port to access the
Internet. The screen varies depending on the interface type you select. Log into the VDSL Router’s
web configurator and click Advanced Setup > Layer2 Interface > ATM Interface to manage
the ATM layer-2 interfaces.

4.6 Technical Reference
The following section contains additional technical information about the VDSL Router features
described in this chapter.
Encapsulation
Be sure to use the encapsulation method required by your ISP. The VDSL Router can work in bridge
mode or routing mode. When the VDSL Router is in routing mode, it supports the following
methods.
Chapter 4 WAN
IP over Ethernet
IP over Ethernet (IPoE) is an alternative to PPPoE. IP packets are being delivered across an
Ethernet network, without using PPP encapsulation. They are routed between the Ethernet interface
and the WAN interface and then formatted so that they can be understood in a bridged
environment. For instance, it encapsulates routed Ethernet frames into bridged Ethernet cells.
PPP over ATM (PPPoA)
PPPoA stands for Point to Point Protocol over ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5). A PPPoA connection
functions like a dial-up Internet connection. The VDSL Router encapsulates the PPP session based
on RFC1483 and sends it through an ATM PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) to the Internet Service
Provider’s (ISP) DSLAM (digital access multiplexer). Please refer to RFC 2364 for more information
on PPPoA. Refer to RFC 1661 for more information on PPP.
PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) provides access control and billing functionality in a
manner similar to dial-up services using PPP. PPPoE is an IETF standard (RFC 2516) specifying how
a personal computer (PC) interacts with a broadband modem (DSL, cable, wireless, etc.)
connection.
For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with existing
access control systems (for example RADIUS).
One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let you access one of multiple network services, a
function known as dynamic service selection. This enables the service provider to easily create and
offer new IP services for individuals.
Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both you and the ISP or carrier, as it requires no
specific configuration of the broadband modem at the customer site.

Chapter 4 WAN
By implementing PPPoE directly on the VDSL Router (rather than individual computers), the
computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the VDSL Router does that part
of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LANs’ computers will have access.
RFC 1483
RFC 1483 describes two methods for Multiprotocol Encapsulation over ATM Adaptation Layer 5
(AAL5). The first method allows multiplexing of multiple protocols over a single ATM virtual circuit
(LLC-based multiplexing) and the second method assumes that each protocol is carried over a
separate ATM virtual circuit (VC-based multiplexing). Please refer to RFC 1483 for more detailed
information.
Multiplexing
There are two conventions to identify what protocols the virtual circuit (VC) is carrying. Be sure to
use the multiplexing method required by your ISP.
VC-based Multiplexing
In this case, by prior mutual agreement, each protocol is assigned to a specific virtual circuit; for
example, VC1 carries IP, etc. VC-based multiplexing may be dominant in environments where
dynamic creation of large numbers of ATM VCs is fast and economical.
LLC-based Multiplexing
In this case one VC carries multiple protocols with protocol identifying information being contained
in each packet header. Despite the extra bandwidth and processing overhead, this method may be
advantageous if it is not practical to have a separate VC for each carried protocol, for example, if
charging heavily depends on the number of simultaneous VCs.
T raffic Shaping
T raffic Shaping is an agreement between the carrier and the subscriber to regulate the average r ate
and fluctuations of data transmission over an ATM network. This agreement helps eliminate
congestion, which is important for transmission of real time data such as audio and video
connections.
Peak Cell Rate (PCR) is the maximum rate at which the sender can send cells. This parameter may
be lower (but not higher) than the maximum line speed. 1 ATM cell is 53 bytes (424 bits), so a
maximum speed of 832Kbps gives a maximum PCR of 1962 cells/sec. This rate is not guaranteed
because it is dependent on the line speed.
Sustained Cell Rate (SCR) is the mean cell rate of each bursty traffic source. It specifies the
maximum average rate at which cells can be sent over the virtual connection. SCR may not be
greater than the PCR.
Maximum Burst Size (MBS) is the maximum number of cells that can be sent at the PCR. After MBS
is reached, cell rates fall below SCR until cell rate averages to the SCR again. At this time, more
cells (up to the MBS) can be sent at the PCR again.
100
If the PCR, SCR or MBS is set to the default of "0", the system will assign a maximum value that
correlates to your upstream line rate.
