CHAPTER 1

Introducing the XMG

1.1 Overview

The XMG is an ADSL/VDSL2 bonding and high-performance wireless gateway that provides ultra-speed VDSL Internet access for triple-play services and optimized HD IPTV services at home or office. This model offers a Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) WAN with an interface using Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP), Ethernet or DSL port. The XMG offers 2.4G and 5G Wi-Fi networks that operate simultaneously, providing a simple and unified network management. The XMG has one USB port for sharing files via a USB storage device. The XMG is also backward compatible with ADSL, ADSL2 and ADSL2+.

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

1.1.1 Internet Access

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

You can also configure IP filtering on the XMG 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.

1.1.1.1 DSL

Your XMG 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 XMG 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 XMG. Refer to Section 6.2 on page 68 for the Network Setting > Broadband screen.

1.1.1.2 Ethernet WAN

If you prefer not to use a DSL line and you have another broadband modem or router (such as ADSL) available, you can convert LAN port number four as a WAN port using the Network Setting > Broadband > Ethernet WAN screen and then connect the LAN port to the broadband modem or router. This way, you can access the Internet via an Ethernet connection and still use the QoS, Firewall and parental control functions on the XMG.

Chapter 1 Introducing the XMG

1.1.1.3 SFP

If you prefer not to use the Ethernet or DSL line, your XMG also provides shared Internet access by connecting the Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver. SFP is also known as Fiber Optics interface. The Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) WAN with SFP is a dual-personality design (GbE + Fiber) which enables increased bandwidth and extended coverage. The XMG supports multiple VLANs over the SFP WAN interface for triple play. To connect the SFP port use a Fiber Optic Module, also known as a miniGBIC transceiver, to a Switch or Router.

Figure 3 XMG’s Internet Access Application: SFP WAN

DSL

Note: You can only have Internet access through one of the ports (DSL, Ethernet or SFP) at a time. Your XMG has WAN priority, and if you connect all ports simultaneously to a successful internet access, only one WAN port interface will be active. The XMG will prioritize SFP, then Ethernet, and last DSL.

1.1.2 XMG’s USB Support

The USB port of the XMG is used for file-sharing and media server.

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

Media Server

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

1.2 Ways to Manage the XMG

Use any of the following methods to manage the XMG.

•Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the XMG using a (supported) web browser.

1.3Good Habits for Managing the XMG

Do the following things regularly to make the XMG more secure and to manage the XMG more effectively.

XMG3563-B10A User’s Guide

20

Chapter 1 Introducing the XMG

•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 XMG to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the XMG. You could simply restore your last configuration.

1.4LEDs (Lights)

The following graphic displays the labels of the LEDs.

1.5 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 POWER LED is on (not blinking).

2To set the device back to the factory default settings, press the RESET button for five 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.

Chapter 1 Introducing the XMG

1.6 Wireless Access

The XMG 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 7 Wireless Access Example

1.6.1 Using the WPS Button

Once the WiFi LED turns green, the wireless network is active. If the wireless network is turned off, see Section 7.2 on page 86 for how to enable the wireless network on the XMG.

You can also use the WPS button to quickly set up a secure wireless connection between the XMG 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 WPS button for five seconds and release it.

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

4Once the connection is successfully made, the WPS LED shines green. The WPS LED turns off when the wireless network is off.

1.7Wall Mounting

You may need screw anchors if mounting on a concrete or brick wall.

Table 2 Wall Mounting Information

Distance between holes	90 mm
M4 Screws	Two
Screw anchors (optional)	Two

5 Select a position free of obstructions on a wall strong enough to hold the weight of the device.

Chapter 1 Introducing the XMG

6 Mark two holes on the wall at the appropriate distance apart for the screws.

Be careful to avoid damaging pipes or cables located inside the wall when drilling holes for the screws.

7If using screw anchors, drill two holes for the screw anchors into the wall. Push the anchors into the full depth of the holes, then insert the screws into the anchors. Do not insert the screws all the way in - leave a small gap of about 0.5 cm.

If not using screw anchors, use a screwdriver to insert the screws into the wall. Do not insert the screws all the way in - leave a gap of about 0.5 cm.

8Make sure the screws are fastened well enough to hold the weight of the XMG with the connection cables.

9Align the holes on the back of the XMG with the screws on the wall. Hang the XMG on the screws. Figure 8 Wall Mounting Example
