7.12 Provisioning an iMG/RG with the LAN4 Feature
7.12.1 Overview
The AlliedView NMS can manage the ADSL iMG 624/34 family over the Ethernet lan4 interface. Moreover, the iMG/RGs
must be using the 3-7 release and up. Refer to the following figure.
Note: In this configuration the 624/634 becomes a replacement for the manufacture discontinued iMG-613TX.
The new iMG6x4-R2 only supports iMG firmware version 3-7 and up.
FIGURE 7-187 LAN4 Feature with iMG/RG 624/634 Family Devices
Other than their loss of lan4 port for subscriber services and appropriate changes in the GUIs, the management capabilities are
the same. Moreover, this feature works as follows:
• The administrator can data fill profiles so that the NMS automatically determines during installation whether the iMG is
managed over the LAN4 or WAN port and correctly configures the device.
• When the LAN4 port is used for the uplink, the ADSL WAN port is disabled. If the user wishes to restore the ADSL WAN
port for management, the iMG must be rebooted from the factory configuration.
When an iMG/RG 624/634 is provisioned with LAN4 as the network port, the GUIs on the NMS identify the use of the LAN4
port. This is explained in the following subsections.
7.12.2 Profiles
The iMG/RG Create General Profile wizard has been modified to allow for the selection of “Management” service on the port
in addition to the previously supported choices Internet, TLS, Video and Voice. This is a placeholder to ensure the port is not
selected for any other service.
