Installing the Hotwire ADSL/R Bridge/Router Place the router on a flat surface with clearance for the rear connectors. Procedure 1. UNPLUG TELEPHONE. If a telephone is connected at the RJ11 wall jack where the router will be installed, unplug the telephone cable from the wall jack. 2. RECONNECT TELEPHONE. (Optional. Go to Step 3 if you are not connecting a telephone to the router.
4. INSTALL WHITE FERRITE CLAMP. If you plugged in a phone, install the supplied white ferrite clamp around both the LINE and PHONE cables. If you did not plug in a phone, install the white clamp around the LINE cable. LINE PHONE PHONE LINE 59 173 02- Hold the open clamp around the cable or cables as close to the router as possible. Close the clamp and lock it by pressing on the latch. 5. CONNECT TO PC OR ETHERNET HUB.
7. CONNECT TO POWER. Insert the round connector of the transformer’s thin power cord into the jack labeled POWER. If the transformer has a built-in plug, plug it into an AC outlet. If the transformer has a separate power cord, connect the cord to the transformer, then plug the power cord into an AC outlet. When the power cord is installed, the router goes through a power-on self-test. LED Status on page 9 shows how the LEDs should appear after a successful test.
LED Status The Hotwire ADSL/R Bridge/Router’s front panel includes LEDs (light-emitting diodes) that show the status of the Bridge/Router. In Table 1, Front Panel LEDs, the Condition in BOLD shows how the LED should appear after a successful power-on self-test. PWR ALM TST LINE TX/RX ETHERNET ADSL/R 03-17357 Table 1. Front Panel LEDs LED Condition Status PWR ON The router has power. ALM ON An alarm condition exists. OFF No alarms have been detected by the router.
Configuring the Hotwire ADSL/R Bridge/Router STOP. Do not proceed with this section unless you were so instructed by your Internet Service Provider (ISP), or you are familiar with IP and routing protocols. Depending on the requirements of your ISP, your Hotwire ADSL/R Bridge/Router may have a web interface that you can access using Internet Explorer 6.0 or above. The web interface is used to configure the router. Configuration Table of Contents Accessing the Web Interface ..................................
Accessing the Web Interface Procedure To configure the router using the web interface: 1. Start Internet Explorer 6.0 or above on a PC that is connected to the router directly or through your hub. 2. Type the following into Internet Explorer’s address line: http://192.168.1.1:8080 3. Press Enter. The Login screen appears. 4. Type the Name and Password exactly as they were supplied to you by your ISP. Both Name and Password are Admin if your ISP uses the factory default. 5. Click on OK.
The menu frame has the following selections: Table 2.
Configuring DSL Modulation To change the DSL modulation: 1. Select Modulation from the DSL > Line menu. 2. Select a modulation from the drop-down list: — T1413 – ANSI T1.413-1998 — GDMT – G.dmt (G.992.1) — GLITE – G.lite (G.992.2) — MMODE – Multi-Mode (the modulation is automatically detected) — NONE – No modulation (the link is disabled) 3. Click on Apply. NOTE: In configurations with multiple bridged PVCs, communication with the endpoint is temporarily lost when you change the DSL modulation.
Configuring PVCs and Connections The minimum configuration requires the definition of at least one Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC) and a Connection. The factory default configuration includes one PVC, named BridgeVC, and one connection, named Bridge. Defining a PVC The PVC is an ATM Virtual Circuit used to communicate over the DSL link. The Bridge/Router supports up to seven PVCs. To create a PVC: 1. Select DSL > ATM PVC > New. The New PVC screen appears. 2. Enter a PVC Name and click on Next. 3.
2. Enter a Connection Name and choose a PVC and a communication method: — DHCP – Obtain an IP address automatically. This method uses the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to obtain the IP address from the server. The IP address is dynamically assigned and is not known prior to assignment. — PPPoA – PPP (Point to Point Protocol) over ATM is defined in RFC 2364. It is a method of encapsulating PPP packets over ATM cells which are carried over the DSL line.
Modifying an Existing Connection (NAT, Firewall) To modify a connection already defined: 1. In the menu frame, select a connection from the DSL > Connection menu. The Modify Existing Connection screen appears. From this screen you can modify the connection information, or delete the connection. 2. Select Security Settings to enable or disable NAT and the firewall. (NAT must be enabled for all connections or disabled for all connections.
3. In the Security Settings screen, click on Settings to invoke the Firewall Setup and Security Rules screen. 4. The firewall DMZ option allows one local user to be exposed to the Internet for use of special-purpose services such as online gaming or videoconferencing. Enable DMZ if desired, and type the local address into the Host field that subsequently appears. 5. Selecting the Games Category from the Add New Rule drop-down menu invokes the Available Rules In Games Category screen.
8. Selecting the Special Category from the Add New Rules drop-down menu invokes the Available Rules In Protected Category screen. Select the special functions you are going to use by selecting Apply from the adjacent drop-down menu. The Bridge/Router automatically configures the proper software portholes and blocks all other functions. 9. The selected game, application, service, and special rules are added to the Firewall Setup and Security Rules screen. Click on Save. 10.
Configuring DHCP By default, your Bridge/Router has LAN-side Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server disabled. This is necessary if you already have a DHCP server running on your network. To configure and enable DHCP: 1. Select DHCP Configuration from the Services > Options menu. The DHCP Configuration screen appears. 2. Select DHCP Server and click on Settings. The DHCP Server Configuration screen appears. 3.
The End IP Address is the last IP address the DHCP server issues. The ending address cannot exceed the subnet limit of 254, so the maximum value for the End IP Address based on the default address is 192.168.1.254. 4. Select Local > Commands in the menu frame. Click on Save All Changes. Changing the Bridge/Router’s IP Address You can change the Bridge/Router’s IP address or specify that it is set by DHCP on the Ethernet Configuration (Local > Ethernet) screen. 1. Select an IP Address Assignment type.
6. If you changed the IP Address, access the Bridge/Router using the new address. 7. Select Local > Commands in the menu frame. Click on Save All Changes. If the configuration is not saved, it is lost upon the next power reset. If the Bridge/Router’s DHCP server function is disabled, you must configure the IP address, subnet mask and DNS settings of every computer on your network. Do not assign the same IP address to more than one computer.
Displaying the System Status You can display the Bridge/Router’s interface statistics on the System Status screen. 1. Select System Status from the Local > Options menu. The status screen appears. 2. Select one of the display options by clicking next to it: — Ethernet — ARP Table — Route Table — Memory Usage — Bridge MACs — DSL — BR2684 (NOTE: RFC 2684 bridge information is blank when PPPoA is active) 3. Click on Show.
Remote Log You can identify an IP address to which system log messages are sent by selecting Product Information from the Local > Options menu. Enter the IP address in the Add box and click on Apply. Changing the Bridge/Router’s Password You can add users and change passwords using the User Management screen. For example, to change the administrator password: 1. Select User Management from the Local > Options menu. 2. Type Admin in the Login Name field, if it is not already present. 3.
Game Servers, Application Servers, and Services You can view and change the Game Server, Application Server, and Services rules from the Services > Options menu. These are the rules applied to a connection via the Add New Rule menu on the Firewall Setup and Security Rules screen. (See Modifying an Existing Connection (NAT, Firewall) on page 16.) For example, to add a game server: 1. Select Game Servers from the Services > Options menu. 2. Click on Create New Rule. Two entry fields appear. 3.
