A 18 August 2006 User Guide UltraLine II VDSL Gateway (Model 826010) 8.2 Confirming Your VDSL Sync Your Gateway must first establish a VDSL sync with your service provider’s equipment in order to have Internet access. To determine if your Gateway has established a VDSL sync, check the following: • At the front of the Gateway, check to see if the Gateway’s VDSL LED is solid green. Solid green indicates that a VDSL sync has been established. (The VDSL LED may flash while the connection is being established.) • At the Connection screen, check the VDSL Line Status. If the status displays Down, you do not have a VDSL connection. If the Rate Down/Rate Up fields display numeric values, a VDSL sync has been established, and the VDSL Line Status should display Up. IMPORTANT: Confirm that the VDSL Line Status displays Up before proceeding with the Gateway’s configuration. If you do not have a VDSL sync, first check your physical connections (refer to section 6, “Installing the Hardware,” if needed). Then, if the problem persists, contact your ISP for further instructions. After you have confirmed that your VDSL Line Status is UP, proceed to section 8.3, “Setting Up Your Connection Profile.” NOTE: If your Gateway has established a VDSL sync and if you are connecting via DHCP, follow the instructions provided by your Internet service provider to connect to the Internet. However, if you are connecting to the Internet via PPP, proceed to section 8.3 to set up your connection profile.

Last member Query Interval The interval between group-specific query messages sent in response to Leave messages. This value is also used as the time-out for group-specific query messages (1-50, in tenths of a second). Multicast Filters Filter Enabled Factory Default = Disable When enabled (box is checked), Multicast Filter is activated. When disabled, any requests from LAN devices for multicast content will be allowed. Range 1 and 2 When multicast filtering is enabled, you may configure up to two ranges of prohibited multicast traffic. A filter address of zero inhibits that filter. Address and Mask The address and mask for each multicast filter range describe the prohibited multicast content. Note: Any address bits outside of the mask are ignored.

Note: These counts include all queries received from the WAN or sent to a LAN interface, so the received counts may not match the transmitted counts if the rate of queries is not the same for both interfaces. Also, if multicast streams are gong to more than one LAN interface, comparing LAN and WAN counts may be impossible due to possible overlap in the LAN interface counts (i.e., two LAN interfaces with the same stream will double count). 15.6 LAN Configuration This section explains how to configure your Gateway’s LAN settings. 15.6.1 DHCP for Private LAN The following screen will be displayed if you select Configuration > LAN > DHCP from the menu options. This screen allows you to control how the Gateway interacts with local devices to which it is connected. NOTE: Westell recommends that you do not change these settings unless your service provider instructs you to do so. To enable DHCP for Private LAN, do the following: 1. Click the Enable DHCP Server check box (a check mark will appear in the box). Note: By factory default this box will already contain a check mark. 2.

The DHCP Start Address must be within the Gateway’s IP subnet and lower than the DHCP End Address. You may use any number from 0 to 254 in this address. DHCP End Address Factory Default = 192.168.1.253 This field displays the last IP address that the DHCP server will provide. The DHCP End Address must be within the Gateway’s IP subnet and higher than the DHCP Start Address. You may use any number from 0 to 254 in this address. DHCP Lease Time Factory Default = 01:00:00:00 Displays the amount of time the provided addresses will be valid, after which the DHCP client will usually re-submit a request. Note: DHCP Lease Time is displayed in the format (day:hour:min:sec). This value must be greater than 10 seconds. (Hours must be between 0 and 23; Minutes must be between 0 and 59; and Seconds must be between 0 and 59.)
