DSL Gateways have a built-in solution to remove the Phone component. No additional devices are needed, you can
connect them directly to the Line.
Telephones do not have this capability, so here you have to use a filter or splitter to remove the DSL signal.
How does a filter/splitter look like
A splitter/filter is a box that typically has the following connectors:
PHONE
Service
Provider
Voice
LINE
DSL + Voice
MODEM
DSL + Voice
Filter/Splitter
A Line input
This connector must be connected to the input signal that needs to be filtered.
A Phone/PSTN output
This connector offers filtered output signal. It only contains the Voice component and can only be used for connecting
phones.
A Modem/DSL output (optional)
This connector offers unfiltered output. It contains both the Phone and DSL signal and can be used to connect your
Technicolor Gateway.
Connecting the cables
The procedure to be followed depends on the fact if this filter has been integrated into your Technicolor Gateway or not.
Check the label of your Technicolor Gateway. If the product name contains:
“wIF” (for example Technicolor TG789vn v3 wIF) then your Technicolor Gateway has an integrated filter. No external
filters are needed. Follow the steps described in “Scenario 2: A Technicolor Gateway without integrated filter” on page 22.
No “wiF” (for example Technicolor TG789vn v3) then your Technicolor Gateway does not have an integrated filter.
Follow the steps described in “Scenario 2: A Technicolor Gateway without integrated filter” on page 22.
Scenario 1: A Technicolor Gateway with integrated filter
Proceed as follows:
1 Take the DSL cable. This is the gray cable that is included in your box.

3.3.1 Setting up a Wireless Connection
The Technicolor Gateway access point
Your Technicolor Gateway is equipped with a wireless access point that supports the following standards:
IEEE 802.11n (2.4 Ghz)
IEEE 802.11g
IEEE 802.11b
Requirements
Your network device must be equipped with a WiFi-certified wireless client.
Connection speed
When setting up your wireless network, keep in mind that the following factors may have a negative impact on your wireless
connection speed:
The obstacles (walls, ceilings,...) between the wireless client and the access point.
Distance between the wireless client and the access point.
To fully benefit from the improved connection speed offered by the IEEE 802.11n standard, it is recommended to only
connect IEEE 802.11n wireless clients to your Technicolor Gateway. Connecting older (for example, IEEE 802.11g)

3.5 Setting Up the 3G Fall-Back WAN Connection
Introduction
Many SOHO (Small Offices, Home Offices) and SME (Small/Medium Enterprises) businesses choose DSL as their access
technology for a Wide Area Network (WAN) connection because this is typically cheaper than using leased lines. A dropout
of a DSL line can however have expensive consequences due to inaccessibility of the Internet and E-mail. Therefore backup
solutions are available that provide an alternative path when the DSL line is down.
For example it is possible to switch to 2G / 3G mobile access technologies such as GPRS, UMTS, HSDPA, HSUPA,
HSPA+, WIMAX and LTE when internet connectivity is not available via the main WAN connection. By plugging a mobile
USB adapter into one of the USB ports of your Technicolor Gateway, IP connectivity via a 2G / 3G network becomes
possible.
3G is an umbrella-term to indicate the third generation mobile telephony technology. The services associated with 3G
provide the ability to transfer both voice data and non-voice data. 3G networks are the successors of the 2G networks, such
as the GSM networks and provide new services and higher data transfer speeds.
What do I need?
To start using 2G / 3G as a connection on the Technicolor Gateway, you need:
A mobile USB adapter
A registered Security Identity Module (SIM) card.
Configure 2G / 3G as WAN connection
Proceed as follows:
1 Configure your mobile connection.
For more information, see “3.5.1 Managing your Mobile Connection with the Technicolor Gateway GUI” on page 31.
2 Insert your mobile USB adapter.
For more information, see “3.5.2 Inserting a Mobile USB Adapter” on page 32.
3 Now your mobile connection is up and ready to use.
If you need to remove your mobile USB adapter, make sure the Technicolor Gateway is powered off first.
Result
Technicolor Gateway will automatically enable your 3G backup connection when both of the following conditions are met:
The main Internet connection has been unavailable for at least 60 seconds.
The Technicolor Gateway received a request to access the Internet (for example, when browsing to an Internet web site).
The Technicolor Gateway will automatically disable the 3G connection in either of the following cases:
The main Internet connection is available again. In this case the Technicolor Gateway switches back to the main Internet
connection.
No Internet traffic has been detected during the last 10 seconds. For example, you finished surfing the Internet.

5 The Technicolor Gateway Wireless Access Point
Introduction
This section will help you set up your wireless network.
What you need to set up a wireless network
To set up a wireless network, you need the following components:
A Wireless Access Point (already integrated into your Technicolor Gateway)
A Wireless client the device that you want to connect (for example, a computer, smartphone, network printer,...)
Wireless Access Point
The wireless access point is the heart of your wireless network. The wireless access point:
Connects different wireless devices.
Secures the data sent over wireless connection.
The Technicolor Gateway comes with an integrated wireless access point.
Wireless client
The wireless client allows you to connect a device, typically a computer, to a wireless access point. Both built-in and external
(for example via USB) clients are available.
Devices like media players and smartphones may also have a built-in wireless client. Check the documentation of
your device for more information.
Check the documentation of your computer if you are not sure if your computer is equipped with a wireless client.
Configuring your wireless clients
For more information on how to establish a wireless connection to the Technicolor Gateway, see “5.1 Connecting Your
Wireless Client via WPS” on page 42 and “5.2 Connecting Your Wireless Client without WPS” on page 44.

5.1 Connecting Your Wireless Client via WPS
WPS
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) allows you to add new wireless clients to your local network in a swift and easy way, without
the need to enter any of your wireless settings (network name, wireless key, encryption type).
Requirements
Your wireless client must support WPS. Check the documentation of your wireless client for this.
Both Windows 7 and Windows Vista Service Pack 1 have native WPS support.
Your Technicolor Gateway must use WPA(2)-PSK encryption (default encryption) or no encryption. WPS with WEP
encryption is not possible.
Procedure
Proceed as follows:
1 Shortly press the WPS button on the Technicolor Gateway:
2 The WPS button LED starts blinking orange. This indicates that the Technicolor Gateway is now searching for wireless
clients that are in registration mode. You now have two minutes to start WPS on your wireless client.
3 Start WPS on your wireless client.
4 The Technicolor Gateway is now exchanging the security settings.
5 At the end of the procedure the status of the WPS LED will change to either of the following:
 Solid green
This indicates that you have successfully registered your wireless client. You are now connected to the Technicolor
Gateway network.
 Blinking red
This indicates that the Technicolor Gateway could not find your wireless client. Use the same procedure to try again
(you do not need to wait until the LED turns off).
Troubleshooting
If you are having trouble connecting your wireless client via WPS, this may be cause by one of the following reasons:
WPS can not be correctly executed:
Configure your wireless manually. For more information, see “5.2 Connecting Your Wireless Client without WPS” on

5.2 Connecting Your Wireless Client without WPS
Before you start
Before you can connect a wireless client (for example, a computer) to your wireless network you need to know the wireless
settings that are currently used by the Technicolor Gateway, i.e.:
The Network Name (SSID)
The wireless key
What Network Name (SSID) is my Technicolor Gateway using?
If you did not change the SSID, your Technicolor Gateway uses the Network Name that is printed on the back panel label of
your Technicolor Gateway.
What wireless key is my Technicolor Gateway using?
If you did not change the security settings, no wireless key is used.
If your service provider did choose to use a default wireless key, use the Wireless Key that is printed on the bottom
panel label of your Technicolor Gateway.
Forgot your wireless key?
If you have changed the wireless settings manually and you can’t remember your settings, try one of the following:
1 Use a computer that is already connected to your network.
If none of your computers is connected yet, connect one with an Ethernet cable. For more information, see
“3.3.2 Setting up a Wired Connection” on page 28.
2 Browse to the Technicolor Gateway GUI.
For more information, see “Accessing the Technicolor Gateway GUI” on page 35.

5.3 Securing Your Wireless Connection
Introduction
You can protect the wireless communication between the wireless clients and your Technicolor Gateway with a wireless key.
This means that:
Only clients which use the correct Network Name (SSID) and wireless key can connect to your network.
All data passing through your wireless access point is secured and encrypted.
Encryption types
Over the years a number of encryption types have been developed. The list below gives you an overview of the supported
encryption types ordered by descending security level; you will find the highest level of security at the top of the list:
WPA-PSK Encryption:
The wireless connection is secured with a pre-shared key that has been defined by the user. Wireless clients must be
configured with this key before they can connect to the Technicolor Gateway. The Technicolor Gateway supports the
following WPA versions (ordered by descending security):
 WPA2:
The most recent and most secure version of WPA. Choose this version if you are sure that all your wireless clients
support WPA2.
 WPA+WPA2:
This is a mixed mode. In this mode WPA2, is the preferred encryption type but wireless clients do not support WPA2,
can still use WPA as encryption type. Choose this option if not all of your wireless clients support WPA2 or if you are
not sure. Wireless clients that support WPA2 will use WPA2, the others will use WPA.
 WPA:
The first version of WPA. Choose this option if you are sure that none of your wireless clients support WPA2.
If you want to configure WPA2 on the built-in wireless utility of Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), you first have
to:
Upgrade your Windows XP to Service Pack 3.
- or 
Install the following update: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917021.
WEP Encryption:
The least safe encryption type used for wireless connections. Like WPA-PSK it uses a user-defined key, but WEP has
been proven to have security issues.
Although the Technicolor Gateway allows you to use WEP or no security, we strongly advise against using one of
them! Use WPA(2)-PSK instead.
Configuration
Proceed as follows:
1 Open the Technicolor Gateway GUI.
2 Under Home Network, click Wireless.
3 The Wireless Access Point page appears. In the upper-right corner, click Configure.
4 Under Encryption, select Use WPA-PSK Encryption.
5 In the WPA-PSK Encryption Key box, type a the key of your choice. The key must be in one of the following formats:
 8 to 63 alphanumeric characters. For example: MyKey123
 8 to 64 hexadecimal characters (characters from 0 to 9 and from A to F). For example: C54F48A5.

Voice over IP (VoIP)
VoIP is a technology in which telephone calls are made over the Internet. This allows you to save on communication costs,
especially for long-distance calls.
The expensive solution
To be able to make your phone calls over the Internet you could either:
Buy an IP phone.
These IP phones are special phones that you can connect to your Internet Gateway.
Install VoIP software on your computer and make your phone calls via your computer.
The Technicolor solution
With the Technicolor Gateway you can make both VoIP and traditional telephone calls using a traditional analogue phone.
If your Technicolor Gateway is not powered, the traditional telephone network (if connected) will automatically selected.
This way you are still able to make emergency calls.

6.1 Setting Up Your Telephone Network
Procedure
To set up your telephone network, follow these steps:
1 Connect your traditional phone(s), DECT base station or fax to the green Phone port(s) on the back panel of your
Technicolor Gateway.
2 Connect your Technicolor Gateway to the traditional network.
For more information, see “6.1.1 Connection to the Traditional Telephone Network” on page 49.
3 Configure the VoIP service on your Technicolor Gateway.
For more information, see “6.1.2 Configuring the Technicolor Gateway VoIP Service” on page 50.

6.1.1 Connection to the Traditional Telephone Network
Combining VoIP with the traditional telephone network
Some service providers use the traditional telephone network (PSTN) as a backup solution for your VoIP connection. This
way, you can still make calls over the traditional network if the VoIP service is down (for example, your Technicolor Gateway
is powered off).
Be aware that, if you are not connected to the traditional telephone network, emergency calls will not be possible
when your Internet connection is down or your Technicolor Gateway is powered off.
Applicability
If your Technicolor Gateway:
Has an integrated filter, no additional connections are needed.
The DSL port must be directly connected to your telephone outlet. Do not put any filter or splitter between them!
How do I know if my Technicolor Gateway has an integrated filter?
Check if the product name printed on the label of your Technicolor Gateway ends with “wIF” (with
Integrated Filter). If this suffix is not present, then your Technicolor Gateway does not have an integrated
filter.
Does not have an integrated filter, check if your Technicolor Gateway has a PSTN port on the back panel (for more
information, see “PSTN Port (optional)” on page 10). If your Technicolor Gateway has:
 A PSTN port:
Connect the PSTN port to the Phone output of your filter or splitter.
 No PSTN port, no connections are needed.
This is a VoIP-only variant. All calls passing through the Technicolor Gateway will be done via VoIP.

Code of Conduct
To prove its commitment to protect the environment, Technicolor has signed the Code of Conduct, a global agreement to
reduce the power consumption of broadband access devices.
For more information, see “7.1 Code of Conduct” on page 62.
Technicolor power saving innovations
To further reduce the power consumption, Technicolor has developed the ECO Manager. This system constantly monitors
the services provided by the Technicolor Gateway and automatically switches unused services to an ECO-friendly state. For
more information, see “7.2 ECO Manager” on page 63.
Next to this automated tool, you can also choose to manually disable services that you will not be using. For more
information, “7.3 Manually Switching Off Services to Reduce Power” on page 64.

7 SAVING ENERGY WITH YOUR TECHNICOLOR GATEWAY
7.1 Code of Conduct
Power states
Code of Conduct provides rules for the power consumption in:
Full power state:
This is the normal operation mode of the device, where all functionality is enabled.
Low power state:
When there is no user traffic on the device, the device should switch to low power mode. This is a state in which devices
are only allowed to use a limited amount of energy to be able to power its components and respond to user activity.
Example
Take the following example:
The user switches off his computer at 20:00.
There are no other devices connected to the Technicolor Gateway.
The Technicolor Gateway switches to low power mode. This results in a considerable drop in the overall power consumption
of the Technicolor Gateway.

7.2 ECO Manager
Introduction
The Technicolor Gateway constantly monitors the user activity and uses this information to optimise the power
consumption:
For example:
The Technicolor Gateway reduces the clock frequency of the central processor when there is no or low user activity. This
lowered clock frequency will result in a lower power consumption of the Technicolor Gateway.
Disable the USB port(s) when they are not used
Switch the wireless interface to power reduction mode.
Wireless access point power reduction mode
When the Technicolor Gateway access point switches to power reduction mode, the access point is switched off and is only
power on periodically to be able to detect new clients. If new clients are detected the wireless access point is fully powered
again. This is only possible if there are no devices connected to the Technicolor Gateway.
Power reduction is disabled by default, but it is possible to enable it via the Technicolor Gateway GUI.
Enabling power reduction may have impact on the reliability of your wireless connection. This feature is intended for
advanced users only.
To enable power reduction:
1 Browse to the Technicolor Gateway GUI.
For more information, see “Accessing the Technicolor Gateway GUI” on page 35.
2 Under Home Network, click Wireless.
3 In the Navigation bar, click Configure.
4 Under Configuration:
 Select Power Reduction Enabled to enable power reduction.
 Clear Power Reduction Enabled to disable power reduction.
5 Click Apply.
Example
If we use the same example as in the previous section, you can see that the Technicolor Gateway is now able to further
reduce the power consumption in periods where less action is required from the Technicolor Gateway.

7.3 Manually Switching Off Services to Reduce Power
ECO button
If you are not using the wireless access point of your Technicolor Gateway, you might consider to disable the wireless access
point permanently. This allows you to further reduce the power consumption.
To turn the wireless interface:
Off, press the ECO ( ) button until the Wireless LED is off.
On, press the ECO ( ) button until the Wireless LED is on.
Zero power consumption
If you will not be using your Technicolor Gateway for a longer time (for example: you are going on holiday), you should
consider to turn off the Technicolor Gateway. This way no energy will be consumed at all.
However, be aware that if you turn off the Technicolor Gateway, all services provided by the Technicolor Gateway that
require access to the Internet will not be available. For example:
No VoIP calls can be made/received
You will no longer be able to make or receive phone calls over the Internet. Your phone calls will automatically be done via
the traditional phone network (if available).
No Digital TV is provided
If your set-top box is connected to your Technicolor Gateway, it will no longer be able to connect to the Internet, hence
not be able to service your TV set.

8.2 The UPnP AV Media Server
Introduction
Your Technicolor Gateway has a built-in DLNA-certified UPnP AV media server. This section describes how to use and
configure this media server.
UPnP AV
UPnP AV (AV stands for Audio and Video) is a protocol especially designed to share media files on your local network.
DLNA-certified
The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is an organisation that imposes requirements to ensure the interoperatability
of your media devices and standardize the communication between them.
Buying a DLNA-certified device like the Technicolor Gateway guarantees you that it will seamlessly integrate with your
other DLNA-certified devices.
To allow you to access your media in a quick and easy way, the Technicolor Gateway scans your storage device for meta data
information (for example, title, artist, album) and stores it in a database. When you are looking for a file, the Technicolor
Gateway can simply query the database instead of having to go through all the files.
This database will only be created if the following conditions are met:
Your disk or partition must have at least 250MB of free space
Your disk or partition must not be read-only.
UPnP AV network components
A UPnP AV network consists of the following components:
The UPnP AV server is directly connected to your media files and makes them available on the network. In your network
the Technicolor Gateway will fulfil this role.
The UPnP AV client is a software application or hardware device that allows you to play or view the media files provided
by your UPnP AV media server.

Result
The Shared folder and its subfolders are now accessible using FTP. The other folders are not accessible via FTP.
If you are connected to the Internet, the link to the FTP server is displayed under FTP Server:
On the Technicolor Gateway network, you can also access the FTP server using its local address (192.168.1.253).
Additional configuration
Because most service providers use dynamic IP addresses, the IP address of your Internet connection may change
frequently. This implies that the link to the FTP server will also change every time the public IP changes. With Dynamic
DNS, you can assign a host name to the IP address (for example mygateway.dyndns.org). For more information, see
“9.3 Dynamic DNS” on page 89.

9.1 UPnP
Introduction
UPnP is designed to automate the installation and configuration of a (small) network as much as possible. This means that
UPnP-capable devices can join and leave a network without any effort of a network administrator.
Supported Operating Systems
The following operating systems support UPnP:
Windows 7
Windows Vista
Windows XP
If your computer is running Windows XP, you first have to install the UPnP component. For more information, see
“9.1.4 Installing UPnP on Windows XP” on page 85.
UPnP and the Technicolor Gateway
UPnP offers you the following functions:
You can access the Technicolor Gateway GUI without having to remember the address of the Technicolor Gateway. For
more information, see “9.1.1 Accessing Your Technicolor Gateway via UPnP” on page 81.
If you are using a PPP connection to connect to the Internet, you can enable/disable your Internet connection without
having to open the Technicolor Gateway GUI.
For more information, see “9.1.2 Managing your Internet connection via UPnP” on page 82.
You do not have to manually create port mappings to run services on a computer. The automatic port configuration
mechanism for UPnP-enabled games and applications will do this for you. If the application is UPnP-enabled, UPnP will
create these entries automatically. For more information, see “9.2 Assigning a service (HTTP, FTP,...) to a Computer” on
page 87.

9.2 Assigning a service (HTTP, FTP,...) to a Computer
Introduction
The Technicolor Gateway allows you to use one Internet connection for multiple computers. This means that all your
computers share one public IP address, as if only one computer were connected to the outside world.
Issue
When the Technicolor Gateway receives an incoming message, the Technicolor Gateway has to decide to which computer it
has to send this message.
If the incoming message is a response to an outgoing message originating from one of your computers, the Technicolor
Gateway sends the incoming message to this computer.
Internet
If your are running a server or an application that acts as a server (for example a HTTP server, Internet game), the initial
message will come from the Internet and the Technicolor Gateway has no information to decide to which computer it should
forward the incoming message.
Internet
Solution
To avoid this problem you can do either of the following:
Enable UPnP.
Assign a game or application to a local networking device.
UPnP
UPnP is a technology that enables seamless operation of a wide range of games and messaging applications. Your computer
will use UPnP to communicate to the Technicolor Gateway which services are running on the computer.
For example, when you start a UPnP-enabled application on your computer, it will automatically create the necessary port
mappings on this computer and on the Technicolor Gateway.
For more information on UPnP, see “9.1 UPnP” on page 80.

Assign a game or application to a local networking device
If you assign a game or application to a local networking device, you will basically tell the Technicolor Gateway that if it
receives requests for a specific game or application, it has to forward these messages to a specific computer.
Proceed as follows to do so:
1 Browse to the Technicolor Gateway GUI.
For more information, see “Accessing the Technicolor Gateway GUI” on page 35.
2 On the Toolbox menu, click Game & Application Sharing.
3 In the Pick a task list, click Assign a game or application to a local network device.
4 In the Game or application list, click the service you want to run on the computer. For example, HTTP Server (World
Wide Web).
If the service is not available in the list, click Create a new game or application in the Pick a task list. For more
information, click Help on the Technicolor Gateway GUI.
5 In the Device list, select the computer to which you want to assign the service. Your computer will be listed with its
computer name.
6 All incoming requests for the selected service will now be directed to the selected device. The Technicolor Gateway will
also configure its firewall to allow this service.

10.1 Parental Control
Introduction
The Technicolor Gateway allows you to deny access to specific web sites.
Access Denied page
When a user tries to access a page that is being blocked, the following page is displayed:
Address-based filtering
With address-based filtering (or URL-filtering) you can block web sites based on their address (for example
www.porn.com).
Content-based filtering
As you know, the Internet consists of a large number of web sites, and that number still increases every day. This makes it
almost impossible to keep the list of addresses up-to-date.
To solve this problem Technicolor Gateway introduced content-based filtering.
With content-based filtering you can block web sites based on their content category (for example pornography) instead
of their URL. This way, you only need to select the appropriate categories and the content category server takes care of the
rest. This content category server is updated at regular intervals.
Combining the two filters
Address-based filtering has priority over content-based filtering. This means that when you are blocking a specific
category, you can still access a specific address provided you create a rule to allow access to that URL.
For example, if you are blocking content from the Finance / Investment category, you can create a rule to make an
exception for netbanking.mybank.com.
Activating content-based filtering
Before you can use content-based filtering you must first activate it by purchasing a license key at your service provider or by
activating the 30-day trial.
Proceed as follows:
1 Browse to the Technicolor Gateway GUI.
2 On the Toolbox menu, click Parental Control.
3 In the Pick a task list, click Activate Web Filtering License.
4 The Web Filtering Activation page appears. Under License Type, select:
 30-days evaluation if you first want evaluate this feature.
 Standard if you have already purchased a license key. The License key box appears as soon as you select this option.
Type the license key that you received from your service provider in this box.
